After playing an unhealthy number of hours of both, I think i prefer League of Legends. I just find myself having more fun when i play it. Shoemaker have mercy upon me.

200+ of both (which is probably not that high, but is high for me)
Edit: I also have roughly 40 hours in Dawngate, which is surprisingly fun.

I'm in the same boat. While I still think the highest of highs (comeback after an hour where you kill 3 of the opponent's team by yourself) still lies with Dota, LoL is simply less punishing, which lessens the pressure on me and overall I have more fun.
Looks like Patrick is talking to Cosmo (the speed runner who recently got an "unbeatable" time in Ocarina of Time).
I hope we get something cool from this!

Cosmo responded to the tweet as well so it seems likely. That's really cool! Patrick does great interviews. That speedrun of his was really interesting to watch.
If I had to guess, the accusations against Temkin probably put the podcast on hold.
Likely waiting a bit longer until the Max stuff blows over completely. Think he mentioned around the time it happened that he was taking a break from the internet for a little while.
I thought you meant he was talking to the teen girl magazine; that would've been way more interesting.
Patrick sent me a pm after I criticized him not branching out on Worth Playing wondering if I had some things he should be looking after. Thumbs up to him actually going after criticism and trying to better his writing! It also made me realize how full of shit I am as I didn't have any better links. :lol

It is like when scoops asked a playstation magazine if FF7 would have any adult scenes.
Yup, that sounds like Patrick. Don't enjoy everything he does, but you can't help but like a dude who is so active in bettering himself and embracing critics (even when they don't deserve it). Pretty sure he even PM'd funkystudent once too.

You can never question Patrick's drive for self improvement. Failure is part of the creative process. Acknowledging what is wrong is part of becoming better, no matter what you do.

Drew was on fire. Samantha was great, her and Dan brought a ton of positive energy to the room, Brad couldn't afford to be sleepy because of his hosting duties... fantastic show.

I remember hearing Jeff and the guys talking about how great the TI3 coverage was last year, especially in regards to Kaci Aitchison, so with TI4 going on, I decided to go back and see for myself. It really is great work. Watching these videos is making me want to get into Dota 2 for the first time. Hopefully there will be a nice compilation of the best TI4 stuff soon.

I don't know why there's a gif of JP LeBreton doing that, but boy am I glad there is.

Oh my god, I'm catching up on UPF and Drew is making me lose it.

I feel like Ryan would have loved this and joined in. Not trying to be a bummer, but reminds me of Ryan losing his mind during This Ain't No Game. Those were great videos.

yeah, Danny,Alexis and Ian played this on the charity stream a while ago. I think it was a xbox arcade title at the time. Nice to see it released on PC.
Yep. Race is clearly the best mode, though. No idea what they saw in Ninja Party.

What time is it?
I was surprised when they didn't pick race to close out the QuickLook.

Soak it in brother.
I'm actually watching highlights and following tweets as it is airing (I don't have cable).

I'm glad Patrick moved his 'Worth' stuff to Monday because I kept missing it on Friday not having a lot of time to watch / read stuff like that over the weekend.
You should try Smite. It's basically a faster paced LoL.
I agree completely. This episode was on another level of charming. Samantha was wonderful, Brad was a surprisingly good host, Dan proves once again to be a great addition to the crew, and more-expressive-Drew is a pleasure. The most I've enjoyed listening to a podcast, period, in a very long time.
In fact, it's criminal that it took me so long to do this, but I am now a premium member for the first time.

i wouldn't call it bad but yes i agree.
Once it dropped the psuedo-interview stuff i started to enjoy it a lot more
Did they say anything about whether they'll record the podcast today (Tuesday)? Brad comes back today, would be cool to get his impressions of TI4.
edit: The Daily Dota crew (and resident GB artist, Fobwashed, and Brad's college roomate...?) minus Brad interviewed at TI4:

Well, he had probably played a 200+ hours of Star Craft II at that point
True. Man, remember Starcraft?

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
A Quicklook for Ghostship Afterwhatever? Oh I hope this is a GBEAST video. This game looks just horrible.
I always though it was hilarious that Brad is the only one who really get's into some games yet he is the one with the "is bad at games" stigma.

Speaking of hours spent on games, it's funny to think that it wasn't long ago that Brad and others would mention how they're not kids any more and can't afford to spend 40+ hours on one game. Off the top of my head I'm sure they mentioned this in relation to Dark Souls (before any of them really got into it) and more recently Ni No Kuni. Turns out they could find the time; the real reason was probably not having a game they wanted to spend 40+ hours on.

Dota is more than game though, it's a lifestyle!
I did that at the end of 2012 after Time Rock. Since then I've watched five years of Raw and SmackDown, along with the current product, most TNA, and some new and old ROH. Welcome to Hell!

I've tried it, but it didn't feel right to me. Much prefer the top down view.
