[QUOTE=stewe231;23916936]No. League of Legends isn't that bad. I get pissed because he ONLY plays that, and thinks everything else is stupid and pointless.[/QUOTE]
My brother is like that with a lot of shit.

Actually I hate all RTS games, maybe 1 or 2 exceptions.
It sounds like the Twitter is for two unrelated things, as in he was recording a DotA (Defense of the Ancients) game but also thinks Valve Software are awesome.
Pretty obvious considering he just ends with "Pax? Might see you there"

Except he has acted for Valve a few times now, and he wouldn't just say 'I LOVE VALVE DERP' randomly.
Yuh I got that much, but It sounds like he also went to see Valve at that time, maybe it's related to a previous Twitter.
But DotA is clearly Defnse of the Ancients and the way it's spelt on his twitter with the Uppercase D and A and lowercase O and T show that it's clearly the abbreviation of Defense of the Ancients.
I could really not care less about the whole elitism thing, (hats) but I just don't want another fucking DotA-type game.
What is DotA? Rate me boxes, just answer the question please.
[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_of_the_Ancients"][U] Defense of the Ancients[/U][/URL] = DotA, it was a campaign (basically a map) for Warcraft 3.
Basically you didn't set up a base or anything like normal you would just control a selected hero and level them up by fighting other team's heroes.
Infrantry units would spawn from your base and you could kill the enemies infrantry units. From your base you could also buy items etc for you hero and get new infantry units but you couldn't control them, just your hero.
It was extremely popular and spawned loads of rip-offs trying to get money from the popularity. The game Demigod was made that used the same gameplay as DotA and two smaller games that are total rip-offs (Almost identical graphics and sound effects) were made known as:

Hell it even made a song, from Basshunter:

Sounds like the thing that spawned World of Warcraft. It seems interesting enough. I wonder how Valve will give it their own twist.
And I love that song. The beat, had no idea what 'DotA' really was. I rated you heart, Drax-Quin
Why can I see VALVe putting it's trollface on, coming up with a subtitle for some new game that's completely unrelated to defense of the ancients, and leaking it on purpose?
It sounds like people are really reaching for news on what Valve's doing.
This was just some persons Twitter page (sure it was the guy who done the Duke Nukem voice) but still the connections people are making are pretty farfetched.
He mentions doing a recording for a DotA game which is commonplace happens all the time with DotA players. It seems his comment about Valve Software is seperate as is his comment about PAX he's probably referencing a previous Twitter he made, which would make sense to anyone following his previous comments.
Dude, Valve bought the person who made DotA. Mentioning DotA, voice work and that Valve is great is not just a coincidence.

Not at all. If anything D&D and Ultima inspired WoW. DotA and WoW are not alike at all except for a similar art style but that is because WoW uses Warcraft III's art style.

It was just an assumption I made based off of the very little info I have on DotA. Anyway, it will be interesting to see where this leads.
Can someone tell me what DotA is?
[editline]10:28PM[/editline]
Oh, NVM
my god.
what is dota anyway, looks liek some thing from a tottaly different game
I think DotA is a pretty cool guy. eh destroys ancients and doesn't afraid of anything.

My guess is there will be a nice surprise at PAX, and the voice actor was talking about two completely separate things. Wait and see.
Here's my expectations:
1) Cheap game.
2) Fun for the 55 minutes you'll spend playing it the first time, sort of.
3) Never play it again.
What I hope:
1) Free like Alien Swarm.
2) Valve actually adds some intuitive elements to change the gameplay more, more maps, different objectives, random elements, ect.
3) Fun every now and again, but not great.
But hell, it's being worked on by the guys that made DotA, it'll probably just be the same crap with new, fancy graphics.
Well, I've never played DotA before but My friends and I play a ton of LoL. So any kind of cheap nice DotA clone similar in presentation to LoL will last my friends and I quite a while.
Valve is making Duke Nukem: Forever: Source. :downs:
[QUOTE]the dota gamemode is decent tiny bit fun but i wouldn't play it alot. but the fanbase ruins the gamemode. If you arn't experienced everyone flames you until either leave or get kicked out
if your better than people in the game you get flamed for being too good then getting kicked out
I don't want this elitist shit to appear in valve games.[/QUOTE]
It is true that the community is horrible , I wont disagree with that. But I also wouldn't say that it makes the game bad (I'm not saying you are saying that but some people do. I tend to play with friends on HON so I don't have to deal with the community .

what did it say? this is relevant to my interests
Sci-fi DotA would be pretty balling
Think about it, Heroes = Mechs
Oh wow, he was the voice of Big the Cat from the cruddy Sonic Adventure games.
