[4749.22 --> 4750.22] Really, really enjoyed it.
[4750.22 --> 4752.22] And I'm not a huge Dota fan.
[4752.22 --> 4756.22] Now that being said, I used to be really big into League of Legends and I was a bit
[4756.22 --> 4757.22] into Dota 1 and stuff like that.
[4757.22 --> 4758.22] And I've kind of dropped off.
[4758.22 --> 4759.22] I don't play any MOBAs anymore.
[4759.22 --> 4760.22] Right.
[4760.22 --> 4761.22] Um...
[4761.22 --> 4762.22] That's just a personal thing.
[4762.22 --> 4763.22] I burn myself out.
[4763.22 --> 4764.22] I play them way too much.
[4764.22 --> 4766.22] I have like hundreds and hundreds of hours in a few of them.
[4766.22 --> 4769.22] So I'm just like, okay, I'm pulling off a little bit and playing other things.
[4769.22 --> 4770.22] Like I might jump back in the future.
[4770.22 --> 4771.22] I'm just not that into it now.
[4771.22 --> 4772.22] Pulling off or pulling out?
[4772.22 --> 4774.22] Oh man, I knew you were gonna go there.
[4774.22 --> 4775.22] Um...
[4775.22 --> 4776.22] But it's still really interesting.
[4776.22 --> 4778.22] It covers some really interesting stuff.
[4778.22 --> 4782.22] And one thing that I really appreciated was while it is a documentary about Valve,
[4782.22 --> 4786.22] about Dota, they didn't just thump the hammer the whole time.
[4786.22 --> 4789.22] They actually went into like, these are problems.
[4789.22 --> 4790.22] Thump the hammer?
[4790.22 --> 4791.22] What does that even mean?
[4791.22 --> 4793.22] I was gonna say drum, but then I said hammer and it just didn't work.
[4793.22 --> 4794.22] Um...
[4794.22 --> 4795.22] Cause it would be like, pound the drum, you know?
[4795.22 --> 4796.22] That was the whole point.
[4796.22 --> 4798.22] Thump the drum wouldn't even be right.
[4798.22 --> 4799.22] It's close.
[4799.22 --> 4800.22] Comb it with a brick.
[4800.22 --> 4801.22] Go ahead.
[4801.22 --> 4802.22] Anyways.
[4802.22 --> 4803.22] Um, so...
[4803.22 --> 4806.22] It was interesting to see like, okay, these are all the problems that these players have
[4806.22 --> 4807.22] actually gone through.
[4807.22 --> 4808.22] Right.
[4808.22 --> 4811.22] And these are the issues that they're having trying to be professional gamers.
[4811.22 --> 4812.22] It's not easy.
[4812.22 --> 4814.22] They're not making much money.
[4814.22 --> 4815.22] Right.
[4815.22 --> 4816.22] It brought up all these problems.
[4816.22 --> 4820.22] Like despite it being a million dollar tournament, a lot of them really didn't make enough money.
[4820.22 --> 4821.22] Make a million dollars.
[4821.22 --> 4822.22] Yeah, no.
[4822.22 --> 4826.22] Like, and that was a really interesting angle that they came around and it, it, it seemed
[4826.22 --> 4832.22] more like a push to legitimize gaming in general instead of being an advertisement while still
[4832.22 --> 4834.22] being a documentary by Valve about Dota.
[4834.22 --> 4836.22] Which I found really interesting.
[4836.22 --> 4841.22] And coming from an angle where I'm not super interested in Dota, much more interested currently
[4841.22 --> 4845.22] in Counter-Strike, another Valve title, but there was nothing in here about Counter-Strike.
[4845.22 --> 4847.22] Um, still super interesting.
[4847.22 --> 4848.22] Okay.
[4848.22 --> 4853.22] So I, I appreciate it if you're into gaming on a professional level at all, like if you
[4853.22 --> 4857.22] like watching professional gaming, if you like any of that kind of stuff, or even if you're
[4857.22 --> 4859.22] just a gamer, I could see this being very interesting.
[4859.22 --> 4864.22] Um, and you don't have to be very well versed to appreciate the film.
[4864.22 --> 4865.22] They explain everything.
[4865.22 --> 4867.22] So I wouldn't worry about that either.
[4867.22 --> 4870.22] Like I can show this to my mom and she'll get it and it'll be fine.
[4870.22 --> 4874.22] One Man Pizza says if you liked free to play, go Google the Smash Brothers.
[4874.22 --> 4876.22] Or the Smash Bros.
[4876.22 --> 4879.22] Apparently it's a really good gaming documentary as well.
[4879.22 --> 4881.22] Yeah, Indie Game the Movie is really good.
[4881.22 --> 4882.22] Uh, I watched that.
[4882.22 --> 4883.22] That was really good.
[4883.22 --> 4884.22] Yeah, Indie Game the Movie is great.
[4884.22 --> 4888.22] Uh, so these are, those are all really interesting things to check out.
[4888.22 --> 4891.22] Um, the Washington Post bring up a few things.
[4891.22 --> 4896.22] They, Andrea Peterson was saying that it's an extended commercial, an effective extended commercial,
[4896.22 --> 4898.22] but definitely an extended commercial.
[4898.22 --> 4903.22] And they go through the thing talking about how like, they brought up, they followed cliche characters.
[4903.22 --> 4905.22] And I'm like, it's a documentary, man.
[4905.22 --> 4908.22] They called, they followed like captains of teams.
[4908.22 --> 4910.22] Where do you think cliches come from?
[4910.22 --> 4919.22] And like, it's, it's one thing too, because, um, growing up with friends that were trying to do it and myself trying to do it and like people that were wildly more successful than I was.
[4919.22 --> 4923.22] And all this kind of stuff, like we all went through this stuff.
[4923.22 --> 4926.22] So, you're wrong, people from Washington Post.
[4926.22 --> 4930.22] It's really good that they covered that because this legitimately happens.
[4930.22 --> 4931.22] Your parents will be against you.
[4931.22 --> 4939.22] That being said, at the very beginning my parents were, and then once they started to see how into it I was, they were totally welcoming and happy about it.
[4939.22 --> 4942.22] Um, but definitely not everyone's are.
[4942.22 --> 4945.22] And they covered that in this movie, which was really interesting.
[4945.22 --> 4949.22] You know what's funny? I, if, if my son was like, yeah, I'm going to be a pro gamer dad, I'd be like, no you're not.
[4949.22 --> 4954.22] It's like, and these, these are things that should be covered and were covered and were really interesting.
[4954.22 --> 4959.22] And they show like, um, the one guy's mom being like, this is really dumb.
[4959.22 --> 4961.22] Like to his face in the documentary.
[4961.22 --> 4962.22] Right.
[4962.22 --> 4965.22] And I'm like, that's good. That should have been in this documentary.
[4965.22 --> 4969.22] And they're like, uh, we didn't necessarily see that. It's just really like cliche characters and stuff.
[4969.22 --> 4970.22] And I'm like, shut up.
[4970.22 --> 4971.22] That totally exists.
[4971.22 --> 4972.22] It's a documentary.
[4972.22 --> 4973.22] Like.
[4973.22 --> 4974.22] They should cover that stuff.
[4974.22 --> 4978.22] And they're like, yeah, they spent so much time looking at the different players and I'm like, thank you.
[4978.22 --> 4979.22] That's what I wanted to see.
[4979.22 --> 4988.22] They showed little snippets from the matches and a lot of the time it, sometimes it was an actual clip from the match and sometimes it was just like super heavily animated.
[4988.22 --> 4989.22] Right.
