Just because you're unhappy about the bears doesn't mean you HAVE to be grumpy.

^ Comics bring everyone together
Maybe we'll get it with the Moonbase update.
With a 15 minute video I'm sure they would want to release it with a pretty major update as a cross promotion, and last year there really wasn't any major updates that fit the bill. The summer update didn't even have a name, the Two Cities Update had it's own video about the medic's MvM upgrades, the video probably wouldn't of really fit in with the Halloween update, and the Christmas update wasn't even really a major update, it was mostly just cosmetic.
It's exciting to think we have 2 confirmed updates in the works, both this one and the End of the Line update.
Multiple TF2 maps have had rockets on them going back to the launch map Dustbowl.
A couple of community maps have had rockets in them, both Steel and Offblast have rockets.
Also a couple of years ago we had a lot of space themed stuff with the Pyromania update. The map Doomsday has you launching a rocket, plus we got a bunch of stuff about the monkey astronaut Poopy Joe.

I know this was foreshadowed since forever ago, but this is awesome.
Also, I love heavy's family. Amazhanna for 10th class.

Welcome to GAF!
I died when they were trying to deal with the bears.
I'm interested in the new taunts though, the dispenser one looks awesome.
Then maybe we'll finally get a taunt for the Jarate...

I really hope the moonbase maps aren't just a bunch of low gravity maps which always devolve into nothing but direct hit soldiers, minisentries, and easy-mode snipers.

I want to marry all of Heavy's sisters. These glorious, strong russian women. And now my otp is half-way to being canon. TF2 is surely looking up now! My hope is restored.

I played something similar to what it looks like before, on a random server I hopped on. It was low-grav but it had a bit more going on than just empty spaces where everyone floats.

Welcome, Spaceb0y.
We have been expecting you.
If I knew of a Spaceboy, which I surely don't, he would be dead to me.

If we ever get to OT5, we need to throw Dota into the title.

Winners don't use Dota.

But you have like 2,000 hours on TF2! 100 hours is nothing in comparison!
You can be a bear in Dota 2 and be Ursa!
I just realized you got a tag, what's that about?

But on the internet...nobody knows you're a bear. So...You have to be the bear in Dota to magnify your bear-ness.
Or if you want to play something other than a bear, be a Brewmaster
Not a bear...a cat I think. But a drinking cat.
Edit: Some say he's a rat or a panda...I don't know, use your imagination.

yeah he used to be a panda
so did these guys
so i mean dota is just drowning in bears

These comics get better and better each time. The one panel of Heavy's sisters imagining the teammates he brought home with him made me die...
I'm almost too terrified to think of what a jarate-based taunt would turn out being...

It should be a taunt where the turns around and fills the bottle back up.

all i can think about is how small scout is and how it would have looked like a child trying to return to the womb had he went through with it

Wait how did these guys used to be bears/pandas?
(You can stretch Storm Spirit looks like a jolly bear)

Somebody give me something decent for this.
Please.
It's overblown. If you are good at games and learning it's like 5 hours to understand then another 45 for basic matchups (which I really liked learning)

Dota's ok...Idk it combines some of my favorite parts of various games with some of my least favorite parts so I'm pretty neutral about it. If I didn't know other people playing it. I'd probably never be inclined to give it a go. It's less repetitive than Loadout at least. I'll give it that.
One problem is if you're dumb or bad at learning or have a bad memory, like me, then you end up with a situation like League of Legends. I've played like 2000 games of that and I'm still quite bad. I feel like if I learn some general lesson about playing, I forget it within a week. =P
I'm also bad at Team Fortress 2, but I have come to like the vaccinator. Maybe Santa will bring me a strange vaccinator some day.

They were all pandas in dota 1, they shared the same model as brewmasters ult units.
Holy crap.
They are adorable! I kinda wish they were still pandas, but their newer models I admit are better designed.
yeah i know, i was just being a shitter. the mechanics are fairly obvious and if you've ever played a RTS before there's not really anything to be unfamiliar with.
but learning all the items and alllllllllll the heroes can take forever. i've got 75 hours in the game and still feel like i don't really know anything.
Collete
Member
Well, I think it's best when starting out to know the items that pertain to your heroes and branch out from there.
That's how I did when I started and now learning the rest of the items don't seem overwhelming any more.
As for learning all the heroes...yeah I feel your pain. What I do is just read about a hero...Kinda like night time material. It puts ya to sleep lol.
it was a lot worse when i played like two years ago and they didn't have the in-game hero build guides. now you can just sorta sleepwalk through the item buying process and don't have to worry about how to spend level up points.
goin up against heroes you arent familiar with is still a pain when you don't know their abilities but i guess that's part of the game

Well you still gotta be careful of like which build to pick. Because some are just awful builds to choose from. So you gotta read before hand of the items you need. So you can compromise which build is right for you from that.
That or just make your own build...Maybe the new generation of Dota players are spoiled, not sure lol.
Ah, it's a pain. But if you're with friends, it makes for a good laugh at each other dying lol. Join us some time oreo though

It'd be funny if Valve had the bots yell at you for that authentic DOTA experience.
