DOTA PATCH 7.41 REVIEW BY GOD
EOne of the, like, tones(?) is getting filtered weirdly so it sounds strange to me but it'll probably sound fine if you don't know what's missing. Also yeah an [a] letter patch came out and they nerfed Lifestealer and wraps and shit but they're still good. Wraps are just being refined, still champion these ragz.
Dota 2 Is Very Cool
Edon't look down

Every Name Is A Choice
Don't skip to like 5 minutes when we start talking about dota or whatever don't do that. It would be 20 minutes but I mercifully cut our brief interview with the chicago pope cause it was pretty bad.

Played a bit more, deso is too slow. Cryst if you're killing it, but even echo bkb aghs is fine. Just get there eventually. Slowly getting the audio better. Please be nice to me, I am very difficult to work with.

No longer in favor. "Never fight uphill, me boys. Never fight uphill." They were fighting uphill. He said, "Wow, that was a big mistake." He lost is great mid. And, uh, they were fighting.
