As essentially the sole proponent of Demigod around these parts, I have done quite a few media-related posts for the real-time strategy/role-playing game hybrid. It's not gotten anywhere near the "we're hiding in your bushes" level Southpeak has reached with Jim, but I'm not taking any chances after today.
Unlike previous screens that have come our way, there are a few here that show off Demigod's simple, yet effective HUD. As far as I know, this is the first time the HUD has actually been on full display, but my memory has been fuzzy lately.
Between this and Dawn of War II, I think I am going to be set for the next six months or so, as far as PC gaming goes. What about you, Dtoiders? Are any of you still as obsessed with Demigod as I am?

Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

this is not the dota cousin/clone i've hoped to see, but it still looks interesting.
I am an uncultured bitch
The system requirements aren't that high but you do need to have had bought a mid-to-high gaming computer within the past 5 years.
Buy Warcraft 3 and the expansions Frozen Throne if you haven't already.
Make a Battlenet account and get the initial patch.
Then download the Dota map at GetDota.com. Put it in your C drive where the other WC3 maps are at in a download folder.
Hop on Bnet and look for a Dota game. 5v5 APEM = 5 real players versus 5 real players in an All Pick Easy Mode match. AREM = all random.
It's not everyone's type of game, but a lot of you are missing out.
I'd do that, but SFIV and Dragon Age: Origins are coming out, and I still have to buy Mass Effect, Mirror's Edge and Dead Space >.<
Wait, GRIM! YOU PLAY DOTA AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME? Friggin Fronz and now you? WHO ELSE PLAYS THAT I DONT KNOW ABOUT! RABBLE RABBLE! D-Dtoid Dota night is demanded!
warning to anyone picking up dota for the first time, it's brutal. Ridiculous learning curve and unrelenting community. Great game though.
