I don't know if this should be considered "FX" if it was done manually...

That's a silly condition to require. Or do you think there's an AI somewhere that sneaks photon torpedoes, Na'vi, Tyrannosaurus Rex, patroni, and fireball spells into otherwise effect-free films?

Follow the DOTA 2 tag then watch the All Your History DOTA videos (there are 3)... then perhaps the Comical View (which is funnier if you got the basic understanding). DOTA 2 is free to play, but in closed beta at the moment. Getting a key though is mostly a matter of applying and waiting, and/or visiting Twitch streams of the game or Steam trade forums. At the point in this video iG wassort of winning, but Na'Vi turned it around with what SWBStX talked about...

>> ^doogle:

I'm curious to know more, but have immense difficulty with the limited info here.
What's "DOTA"?
Who the fuck is winning?
bla bla bla


That was a great analogy there... the interception and running for a touchdown in American football (I don't know football/soccer well enough to know on the other ).

>> ^SWBStX:

It would be kinda like intercepting a touchdown pass from your opponent to then run it back for your own score in American football. Perhaps something like one or two goals in stoppage time to comeback and win a football(soccer) game.


I've yet to actually play a game against real people... even Easy bots beat me. I think I am nearly at the stage I could have some coaching, but not sure yet... then again I worry I may be learning bad techniques and will have to unlearn what I have learned. Right now I am focusing on last hits and denies (for those that don't know DOTA/MOBA style games, each lane generates minions called creeps, and by getting the last hit on the enemy creeps you gain more experience and gold than you would otherwise, your creeps or towers are often getting last hits, since it is worth xp/gold to last hit a creep, you want to deny the enemy team that ability and so you last hit your own creep, they still get some XP/gold, but not as much, and XP/gold becomes more important as the game goes on). Then perhaps items/abilities and all the heroes... it really starts to get intimidating with the depth.

DOTA stands for Defense of the Ancients. It was originally a Warcraft 3 mod that has been remade by Valve into it's own stand alone game, now called DOTA2. It's technically still in Beta despite this being the second year they've had the International tournament with the $1 million prize to the top team.

The team who is winning is "Na Vi". This clip shows their opponent "iG" sweeping around to pull off what is called a "smoke gank" and which they seem to have set up perfectly. However one character on Na Vi's team is able to use one of his abilities to disable most of the other team giving his teammate time to steal a key ability from the other team and turn around a fight that should have been devastating.

It's a little hard to explain and even harder to tell what is going on if you don't know anything about the game. But what you should know is that it was an amazing turn around at a crucial moment on one of esports' biggest stages. It would be kinda like intercepting a touchdown pass from your opponent to then run it back for your own score in American football. Perhaps something like one or two goals in stoppage time to comeback and win a football(soccer) game.

This post has gone on far too long, check out Dota2 if you're interested in finding an excellent team oriented PC online game.

You can watch the crowd and the video at the same time here, just mute one of them... the crowd when it sees iG coming around is very somber, knowing it looks to be the end of Na'Vi... I was lucky enough to be watching it on Twitch live... would have been cooler to see it in person, but still... I was nearly on my feet jumping in excitement at the whole turn of events.

Yeah, you could poke fun at his slobbery lisp, his weight, glasses, or that he's making an indignant plea to a WOW developer, or the Slave Leia poster, or the fan art of a Na'vi, but that would be too easy. It's just no fun when someone is this ripe for ridicule.

I thought the Na'vi were supposed to be around 10-12' tall?
I have single handedly Debunked the authenticity of this video


That's just a fancy way of saying FAAAKE.

I thought the Na'vi were supposed to be around 10-12' tall?

I have single handedly Debunked the authenticity of this video

The movie itself already mentions why unobtainium is important and that the humans have tried to peacefully negotiate access to the unobtainium under the Na'vi's tree-thing to no avail. Now the humans are trying to forcefully evict them. With a story so simplistic, where is the plot hole?

Terrible video.

All should listen to James Cameron interviewed by NPR. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=123810319

Too much talk here about what and what is not depression. The bigger picture is our ability to become one with our environment. This is not a new concept, in fact it's ancient, but one that has been forgotten and in some cases supressed by those that wish to contol others.
The link above could help people understand that the movie was inspired by what we can be as humans. So the idea is to inspire us to pursue making Earth a Pandora. The beauty of Pandora was inspired by what is real here on earth. The communication between the Na'vi and the environment is also possible by humans. Just a matter of looking within and blocking out the urban clutter we're all bombarded with every day. Read Celestine Prophecy, look into Reiki and various forms of meditation.

ant cannot declared this a dupe of the specified video because ant submitted the original - ignoring dupeof request by ant.


Grr! Someone please kindly dupeof it!

>> ^demon_ix:
It is. By about 7 hours. If my understanding of time isn't failing me.


Thanks, just double checking. *dupeof=http://www.videosift.com/video/Attack-of-the-Show-Thelma-Louise-II-Avatars-of-Pandora

ant's hulu clip is blocked for me, so I can't confirm it's a dupe, but http://www.videosift.com/video/Attack-of-the-Show-Thelma-

Definitely, a dupe, but is mine older?

It was great, really great. One of the things the 3D added was detail to textures - skin, surfaces all looked very detailed and awesome. I also like that they grounded the fantasy elements in reality, giving at least a hint of reality to spirits and so on, it worked really well.

It's like the Na'vi were all what the native americans claim to be, without the bullshit.
