AHHHH BURN IN HELL DOTA!!
I've never played it myself but from what i've witnessed the effects can be likened to DRUGS. Stay away from it kiddies. >:
Hahaha a guy i know, his dad used to play. I swear he must have averaged 5 hours a day...he got a gold statue after a week and a bit of playing..also this may seem stereotypical but i couldnt really imagine a girl playing mgs4...dont take it the wrong way, lol. good to see some gamers but remember vce is SRS BUIZNESS! 
A gold statue?? Like he won it in a game tourny or something? o.O
Haha yeh I totally understand. I've yet to meet another girl who plays them sorts of games.. Some of my girls are more into rpgs but nothing exceptionally violent. MGS is great tho, started out with Sons of liberty. I think the more humorous aspects of the game made it so entertaining imo. Even if the themes are a bit messed up..
LOL, kthx for the advice (:
