I can't believe West's next big LIVE Content series (which isn't even Premium) is Dota.
Do they hate us that much?
I want that pumpkin pie.

I think this is my favorite GB feature right now
As excited for Splatoon as I am, there's nothing they can add to that conversation. I'm much more curious about how Fortnite shaped up.

it's like Ben looked at the people going "Ben's fine, he just needs to helm some new features" and decided to put their feet in all of their mouths
West can do that Fortnite game people will have forgotten in a month.
East can do Splatoon 2, the game people will still be playing in three years.
Yes, I'm asking for two TNT's.

I think you mean Midweek Multiplayer Mayhem.
I wouldn't mind a "Jeff learns Dota" series as a guide to enjoying the big tournament coming up. Kinda like when Dan played Wow for a month.
But not serious Dota. If this is serious Dota content, throw it in the trash.
It's OK, Sunshine will outlive them both.

I'm hoping Jeff is the twist in this, it will be the only thing that makes it exciting for me as a guy who knows fuck all about Dota. I don't care for MOBAS so yeah.

I think he means Giant Bomb: GB Community Co-op Corner
The list of ideas must be pretty empty.
Psssshhht.
Maybe they're trying to reach new people now with the big tournament coming up.
I don't know man.
Maybe I'm just too woke, man.
Or too cynical.

it makes me think of the "how come you guys don't do shit anymore" moment from Lang during E3
how great would it be if this was just a front for a completely different feature
They let him open some packs. Soon he'll be on there opening crates and doing laning things.
Soon.

If they're enjoying the DOTA stuff, and that comes through, then I'll likely enjoy it as well.
No one here likes Sunshine, but are enjoying it because Beast is having fun.

Yeah, but people can tell what is happening in Sunshine.

You can't compare them playing one bad game ironically to them playing another, worse game unironically.
I like Sunshine, it's my favorite videogame on the VideoGamecube

Pretty much. I'm expecting we'd get SPECIAL guests in later episodes(maybe tomorrow even? who knows).
We've had countless of hours of Dota content in the past. We know what that is like. If there's no Jeff twist this will be Ben and Brad being Ben and Brad playing Dota. 119 episodes of that or whatever the hero count is.
If Dan was in this there could be some fun meta element to it.
He isn't.
This will literally be no fun other than for people who want to see people play Dota badly for some reason.
Yay!
Pretty much this yes. Saying this without knowing what this Dota feature is tho...

Sunshine is a very good game despite the camera issues.

Completely agreed. They (Ben/Brad) are passionate about Dota, especially with the international coming up, and it should hopefully come through as they are playing. Wait and see exactly what it is before declaring it the worst content ever

Oh I'll certainly give the feature a go. I'm not confident they can make DOTA interesting though. It has got to be the most-played feature on the site, right? And now they're doing ANOTHER feature for it.
I was actually really impressed by the non-waterpack section (despite how bad they were at it). It seems like there's great 3D Mario design in there.

Let's stay posi friends. A Mario Sunshine lets play sounded butts but they slayed it with the gimmick. Maybe Dota will end up being just as fun!

Sonic and All-Stars Racing I would assume. It's a really solid racer that's better than a lot of Mario Kart games.
Behind all of them except maybe 64.
Kinda like Crash compared to Mario in general except there isn't one lower there.
Incredibly overrated. It had a good singple player mode, and it was a minor miracle how Naughty Dog got the game to retain 60 fps in split screen, but the core gameplay was generic. I can't remember a single track from that game.
