    also they used Meepo as the image for that and I am the only person who laughed

    I guess this is what it's come down to

    Relegate Brad to daily Dota videos and keep him off the Bombcast, he'll be happier there

    Man I love Brad's insane Dota talk

    if it was just him talking about the minutia of the game and his matches it would be pretty boring

    but it is like 20% that and 80% the other guys making fun of how goddamn deep he has gone into the Dotahole and it is super fun to listen to

    Jeff's "Ahahahahahahayou're gonna die." made me lose my shit

    It's a funny reversal on when Brad got sick of Jeff's constant Trackmania talk.

    Honestly, watching that trailer just makes me realize how much I want an X-Files'esque show set in the 60s.

    I never knew I could want something so badly.

    Dark Skies was that. Kind of.

    There is zero chance of Dota being on anyone other than Brad's GotY lists.

    The other guys are, at best mildly curious about it.

    Trying to anticipate some actual quotes.

    I'm guessing "transcends the genre" will get tossed out there. Maybe "from a purely mechanical perspective, it's damn near perfect"?

    Brad's hyperbole hits over 9000 when GOTY deliberations start.

    Brad having a GOTY filibuster over Dota of all games would be the Braddiest move

    Despite him ruining his life in dota I even doubt it will end up being Brad's number 1 GOTY. Will definitely make his list. I don't even expect him to fight for it very much as one of Giant Bomb's GOTY either beyond a fun joke conversation.

    Bad example, since Jeff said P4G would have been his GOTY if he'd had any time to actually play it.

    EDIT: Damn, too slow.

    I mean the whole point of Dota 2 is that it pretty much literally just is Dota 1 though, isn't it?

    Like, they haven't even improved it on any significant level aside from visuals because it would in some fundamental way alter the balance of gameplay, at least that's the dumb reason people give me for why the UI is so huge and shitty like the game thinks I have a monitor the size of a quarter.

    But it's still not a good precedent to set of a game of the year, I don't think.

    I mean, sure, you can argue that there's enough new stuff in a rerelease for it to count. But then you're setting up a precedent of debating whether or not there's "enough" new stuff.

    Except the other GB guys have said they know lots of Game Devs that play Dota?

    It seems to be pretty popular among dudes in the industry.

    hey so this is as good a place as any to ask

    there was a game that came out a bunch of years ago, where all it was was two 'human' models made up of a bunch of spheres, all on a white background, and you could articulate each part of the body - shoulder, elbow, pelvis, thighs, etc. to rotate them, or make them rigid or flexing, and you could try and beat the shit out of the other player - knock their heads off, break their arms off, all that

    it was super and basic and simplistic and awesome. anyone know/remember what this was called?

    they're actually changing it all the time, though

    buffs and nerfs are frequent and new characters are always being added
