How Big Is DotA?
Big enough to climb the charts in Scandinavia. This insane 2006 club jam by Swedish DJ Basshunter topped out at position 2 in Finland, 7 in Denmark and Norway, and 9 in Holland (presumably because the Dutch have a certain appreciation for madness).
We have entered the future, my friends. Europeans have been shamelessly rocking out at the club while some nerd sings about logging into Ventrilo and playing a Warcraft III mod. The crazy moon language [Swedish, genius –ed.] he's speaking translates to "We're sitting in Ventrilo, playing some DotA." Seriously. Awesome.
Contact Valve at contact@valvesoftware.com to lend your voice to the chorus clamoring for a Basshunter appearance in Dota 2.
Not content with making a crazy video involving his mom (his actual mom, if Wikipedia is to be believed), Basshunter dropped super bonus style on this remake. Because we need more models gyrating about real-time strategy.
What's that? You want to know more about Valve's just-announced next game, Dota 2? It just so happens that I wrote a giant article with all the first details on it right here!
How's that for a coincidence?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
