i have been emailing steam and valve to get myself keys to invite my buddies, if anybody has an extra one i would def love to send it to the guy who introduced me to dota1
but i dont want this community turning into a whoring keys community

i love the double lift playlist, how did you find that?

whoring karma i see.

here have an upvote

ya i would change the default colour scheme but i already changed it on my end because the blue on blue on blue is pretty dull

if you need pitching on for that license let me know, i might also be able to get it cheaper or free.

(developer hookups)

Friday - 7-10 EST maybe even later
Saturday/Sunday - intermittently throughout the day

ya standard beta process is reset all data. but i better get a free character skin/ store item for all my hard work and strenuous hours of testing

i would, but as soon as a key is used it should be removed. otherwise there would be a whole lot of extra pm'ing and pointless posts

pk? did you mean pm?

ya i'll pitch ~50% of the 2 year price (if we pre-purchase). assuming we get bulk licensing, and i can get one of the licenses for personal use while another one is kept for this site. its definitely a worthwile investment.

as for discount, i meant free because i'll write it off through my company.

and this is why i regret never doing webdev, i can make you a game, but ask me to read java script or make a website and i'm almost as clueless as the next monkey.

i gotta get in on this moderating shit one day

heeheehee all that power MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAAAAAA...*cough**cough**hack**weeze*

kaero i see you online almost always, but what's your timezone? that help a lot in clarifying "night" for different people

every1 send an email to the gaben. we might have this work!

also if you plan on writing a segment, say so before you write it. i think this will better distribute the work to prevent people writing the same thing

so how do you want us going about any revision / comments on already created sections.

I was reading over the Base and Tower Intro and where you say it is imperative that the melee barracks be attacked first.
i wouldn't say imperative but STRONGLY preferred. if for some reason the majority of creeps are attacking the ranged, and you are about to get seriously counter pushed, i would rather get the ranged than leave 2 standing.

welcome. look forward to playing with you and if you are looking for any training / mentoring dont hesitate to join the mumble. i enjoy helping teams practice just as much as i enjoy playing.

i'd like to take this time to thank those people who made this happen. It was no easy task.

I'd like to thank my mom and dad for raising me.
Gabe for creating valve. Icefrog for creating Dota.
BinaryAtrocity for putting together this site.
Alverez for posting the reddit post that bought me here.
I couldn't have done it without you guys. here's aiming for 2000!

welcome. looking forward to playing with you soon.

^ as you said one of those couriers, they have an animation for a mini-pudge. but i really want a "flying" mini pudge courier. one that looks like the wings are trying so hard to keep him flying.

after getting the basics down and learning some hero skills, i developed a lot of my knowledge and strategies based on the pro games.

i remember watching really early on in my dota career a pugna match that completely reversed my original strategy to a much more domiant gank/carry style role.

cant remember who it was but watching pro games can show you things you didnt expect and give you some really great ideas.

however i will still never be able to play chen good, let alone the level that Puppey plays him
