Quick Look: Dota 2

Vinny just found this game on Steam. Sounds like Brad's heard of it, so let's give it a shot, I guess?

Sit back and enjoy as the Giant Bomb team takes an unedited look at the latest video games.

Huh, Dota 2 eh? Seems like fun. Maybe you could do a weekly (or even daily if you had time) show where you just played this game with a bunch of dudes who were mostly called Matt. I think I'd enjoy that.

I'm pretty sure this game is bugged on Steam though. It only came out 2 weeks ago but it says that I have over 60 hours played, and that it's the most-played game of all time among my friends list ahead of even TF2 (with a couple of them well over the 1000 hour mark).

EDIT: I would pay inappropriately large amounts of money for a Vinny + Jeff announcer pack. Please get in touch with whoever you need to in order to make that happen.

This is amazing. If Brad didn't do the smuggest grin when he proposed a Dota 2 quick look, I'm really disappointed.

I hear Dota 2 is being used as an interrogation device at Guantanamo.

No, it isn't. Game was over a year in beta, so people have played a hefty amount of it. Don't be surprised when you see such numbers. I personally watch the game more and play around 8 games a week and have over 1000 hours. Some matches tend to go on for over an hour so it isn't that surprising.

I would love to see this become a daily or weekly thing.

Wait a minute? Daily DOTA 2 content on Giant Bomb (dot) Com? That'll never work.

After a short three week break, I have been bitten by the DOTA bug again. I'm still in that first 100 hours but, dude, DOTA is pretty fucking cool.

I downloaded this and when I tried to launch the Tutorial nothing happened. I concluded it was a piece-of-shit-game and uninstalled it. Seems Vinny was able to get the Tutorial to launch, clearly he is the superior human.

You're right we're not forced to watch it, buuuuut...

Considering that they probably consider this as content, and thus they don't have to put up as much stuff, it eats away at what could be time and resources spent on making something entertaining, and considering I'm all caught up on GB content up to this point, do you have something else I should watch?

I don't play Dota 2 but a Giant Bomb announcer pack needs to happen.
