Anyone here without Dota 2? I got 4 invites, and no one wants them. (Every Dota 2 player got at least 2 i think)

I have zero still for some reason, even though I got into the beta forever ago and stuff

Hang onto a couple in case people want to join our friday night games.

EDIT: speaking of which we should probably reschedule those so european peoples can start joining

Apparently I already own Dota 2, although I don't remember buying it. Does anyone know if that means that I don't need an invite? Or have I missed something...

Means you should be able to play whenever

If you did the survey it probably silently gave your account the beta. If not, maybe you accidently opened a gift of it? I dunno

Getting a new PC delivered tomorrow.

It's rather bigger than my old one, but it's also rather more powerful. Like, twice the cores, 2.5x the clock speeds, double RAM, ATI HD2400Pro 256MB -> GTX 660 2GB, and stuff. I'm happy.

Can I have a link where to buy it, price , etc? I might build myself one (or get a premade) for christmas.

I'm not sure where you are, but I'm in the UK. I don't know what they to outside the UK.

£700 including 20% VAT for the standard model, mine was £765 inc. VAT and shipping. The warranty is great - you can open it up, clean it out swap parts around (aside from the mobo or PSU) and they'll still honour it. That page is just the base model - you can customise it quite a lot by clicking the link at the bottom. They recommend getting a better cooler and case (I got the Cooler Master 430 and Akasa Nero 3), but it guess will run okay without them.

I can't recommend this build in particular because I haven't used it much yet, but I will say that I found them really helpful when I rang to ask about the spec in more detail and for advice about cooling because my room is quite warm. If you already have a license key for Windows (if you will be using Windows), tell them that and they will install a disk image but not verify it and you can use that instead of having to install from scratch, which is what I think happens when you choose a no-OS build.

Oh, and shipping to where I am is normally £40, but ask if they can do it cheaper. I said I didn't realise shipping wasn't included in the price of the PC (What? I didn't!) and they cut it by £15.

Thanks for the link n' specs. I'm from Canada so the shipping might be expensive as hell! I've been looking for a PC that I could go take in store, but the cases are ugly as bleh :C Also, I went on Cyberpowerpc and made my 'dream' build there; though the shipping for Canada is 95$ ;_;

I -think- I've gotten it all, but I agree, it's way too much. All from one user, too. I'm going to look at some homegrown captcha options for better security.

Result: Nowhere near me sells Portal 2 on disk any more.

Disks after a while don't work anymore. My Orange Box disk just tells Steam to download the games.

There's a way around that, according to this.

Talk, people.

But also um yeah I've only been to Disneyland and it was a while ago. All I remember is long lines, Space Mountain was cool, and walking around a lot. I don't have much to contribute here.
