[Pinky]

This just shows you what's going on in there.

Uno: hey!
Uno: If it's my cheese, then what is it?
Uno: NACHO CHEEESE!!!
Uno: get it?
Dehan: no
Dehan: no i don't
Uno: not your cheese
Dehan: i still don't get it
Uno: if it's MY cheese
Uno: then it's NACHO CHEESE
Dehan: ...dude what?
Uno: Nacho Cheese = Not Your Cheese
Dehan: WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN BOUT?
Uno: it's a PUN!!!
Uno: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Dehan: what the hells a pun?
Uno: ...
Uno: a humorous use of words that involves a word or phrase that has more than one possible meaning
Dehan: that's very sucky
Uno: ie: if a person was on fire, you could say that that person was "hot"
Uno: she was hot, as in attractive
Uno: and hot, as in on fire
Dehan: i'm confused
Uno: 2 + 2 = 16, there I'm done

[Jack]

the fuck are you talking about, nobodies there

[John Doe]

I just went into a different vent. I'll be back in that on soon.

[Alura]

I want to chat =(

[Ashe]

WHAT.
THE.
FUCK.

So I go in all "ZOMG WTF DOTA".

No one is there.

And even worse.

There is no DOTA either.

Dude, we should seriously set up some team 5v5 games from Chubbs. Even for people that go "Oh I suck", you should still join because you'd have a stable group to play with and learn from. I think it could rock. Fucking rock. Seriously.

[Jonathan Meer]

The hell is DOTA?

[Alura]

I'm in. No mic though

[Celena]

The hell is DOTA?

Fuck knows.

[Super Buu]

DOTA is the one thing guaranteed to keep me away from somewhere =P Besides WoW arguments.

Its... hard to explain, but quite fun. I believe it stands for Duel of the Ancients or something similar, but its a mod people added to Warcraft 3: TFT. Basically you have your normal units playing like NPCs, constantly trying to rush the opponent and fight his units, going back and forth in a sorta stalemate. You want them to get into your opponent's side of the map to destroy their primary Tree or Throne, but you can't control them to do so. What you DO control is your hero, you choose one. There are up to 5 heros on a team, and its made for team play so in 1v1 some heroes are kinda imba against others. They do, however, constantly balance test these heroes for 5v5, and its very skill testing and relies on your knowledge of how to support your team, or otherwise perform your function (ala TF2 as far as imagining how teams could work).

You also use the gold that you get while attacking your opponent, which you get just from fighting them or killing blows on them, involving switching up with team mates to focus fire, etc, and spend it on various items in your own base. You can take those items and fuse them with other items you buy to basically create stronger and stronger items with various effects, such as Lifelink or extra attacks. That, when added with your hero's abilities, can create combos to help you fulfill your purpose a bit more.

[Super Buu]

Let me be clear that I have nothing against the game DOTA itself. Just the fact that on Battle.net, NOBODY PLAYS ANYTHING BUT DOTA ANYMORE =(

[Ashe]

Honestly, all I've had the chance to play so far are some really random ass 1v1 games against a friend of mine IRL, and those are pretty unbalanced if someone chooses say the Perma-Invis Stealth Assassin vs the Troll Warrior, that Warrior fucks his shit up. An example of a background support hit and run character vs a direct confrontation tank.

[Jack]

I'd buy WC3 to play with you guys. Maybe.

WoW is out so... I need a game.
