And you taunted me with lack of gaming knowledge.
Why buy a Steambox when you have a perfectly good PC that is only an HDMI cable away from being a Steambox?

The only thing that saved it was some hot sluts dressed up in some video game characters. |
You dislike dota and find it boring because you think you saw it being played and didn't understand what was going on? And that made you feel embarrassed to be a gamer until you saw some sluts dressed up in cosplay? And that made you feel better?
Whoa.
Anyways, the game you most likely saw was "League of Legends," a different title. It was part of the IPL tournament.

I don't know what to say to you Seth. I really respect you (as far as online personalities go), but you're wrong here.
Just plain wrong.
I can't explain why. I can just give you a glimpse of what dota is by referencing some of the people who play it.
1. My friend who's master architect of the biggest online purchasing company in my country has clocked over 1200 hours.
2. My friend who's a game developer has clocked over 1100 hours. He's releasing a game at the end of the year and will make millions. Bet on it.
3. His whole dev studio are all into it.
4. Me. I didn't like it at first. But then I watched him play whilst he expertly gave me the lowdown on what he was doing. SO confusing at first, but BY FAR the deepest, most balanced game I ever witnessed.
I had biases too. I refused to accept it as being something possibly awesome. I was wrong.

Yea, whatever it was it was lame. There was a crowd cheering them on though...

Are you telling me that skilled Dota2 play doesn't revolve entirely around running away and hiding, like in LoL? |
A true Dota 2 player can very easily kill you if you run away. Honestly some times the only way to run away from a battle is to teleport....or let your whole team die while you escape.
Nintendo and PC gamer

The awesome thing about it is that Valve will tell you the exact same thing! But the Steambox will be cool because IT IS a pc for your living room. Not closed in any way.

I'm sorry to disappoint you. I believe wfz pointed out the correct game (League of Legends). Computer games are fun to play (RTS), etc... I am more of a TBS fan (turn based strategy). Watching people play (competitve gaming) never appealed to me. I should have probably made this disclaimer.
Here is a good scenario for you... Imagine going to a friends house and watching them play Skyrim or Deus Ex for hours while smoking weed. Sure the weed might make you feel alright but it is incredibly boring watching people play single player games. Some people might enjoy watching other people play games but it is a complete waste of time to me. Anything to take out of this is that I hate watching people play video games.
Sorry to go off topic but I see the Steam Box as a niche market.

I know something or other about what DOTA is, and that only makes his claim funnier.
Why do people keep quoting their friends' playtimes, as though that proves anything? Plenty of people have dumped hundreds or thousands of hours into social games like FarmVille and Words With Friends, but that doesn't automatically qualify them for the title "Best Game Ever."

True Dota 2 players are badass.
