Just finished watching the Spartacus TV series. Super keen to reenact The Third Servile War - hopefully this will be possible. 

Super pumped for TI3. 9 days, top 16 teams from across the globe, $2.75million up for grabs.

There are no greener pastures than Dota 2. The game is the most popular and profitable venture Valve has ever undertaken so far.KHAndAnime

I've already spent at least $800 on this game and will probably spend thousands more as time goes on.

These posts are embarassing to read. Dota 2 isn't more profitable than Steam for Valve. You guys don't understand the first thing about business, let alone "greener pastures". I advise try taking some classes at your local community colleges, they might expand your guys' knowledge on the subject a bit.

One thing you should keep in mind is how Dota 2 is opening up the Steam market. Steam has had very little luck in the Asian market so far and Dota 2 significantly increases their chances of breaking into this market (Dota 2 Asian community is huge).

My picks:

Bastion - best indie game I have ever played

Limbo

Magicka 

Orcs Must Die! (+Orcs Must Die! 2)

Trine (Trine 2)

Love both however if I had to choose one I would go with fantasy. 

Multiplayer all the way. I tend to play very few singe player games and those select few I do play are generally very highly regarded.

Dota has a better aesthetic, and more depth in terms of gameplay.  I feel like I could play thousands of hours of DOTA and have it still feel fresh.

Icefrog + Valve combo is pretty OP. One thing I should add is that Dota 2's competitive games are generally far more interesting to watch. 

Hard to get more competitive than Starcraft 2 or Leage of Legends.

Dota2 is up there as well.

Thanks TC. This one was easy to back. Surprised I have not heard anything about this game up until now.

to me feel like PC games industry is getting slow and less games compare to the old day....only ton of same FPS....
