Hey, is it just me, or has it been a while since we saw Engie-tan in her Engie clothes? Ah well. She looks great.

I just give up playing LoL. More than 500 hours, and I'm not a good player? Better change the game.
They say that the DOTA community is quite friendly and well mannered with everyone who is still learning how to play the game. I might try it when it become available.
Well, maybe not.

Engie-tan in her engineer clothes looks great.

well Shade me silly.

Don't think we can expect a DOTA 3.
Also, do you have an arc planned or something? I'm getting a wee bit tired of these "Engie-Tan and Tentacle Jo" comics.

Me wants to play dota2 T_T

>Not liking DotA.

>Even SUGGESTING trying LoL.

Oddly for some reason I find this version of engie-tan to be hotter than usual. I'm not entirely certain why.

Holy shit Jo...

This new shading style... man, it looks awesome! I love it!

Holy awesome shading, batman!

Have you ever tried League of Legends, Jo?

Love the new art style.

My compliments on a comic strip well done.

love it love the new engie

NerfNow: Now with shading gradients!

Im suprised you actually say its graphics are nice... i think they are awful, compared to original DotA or LoL (which both are colorful and not-too-serious), too pastel, too dark, too everything-looks-the-same-brown. But whatever, the point is the gameplay.
Also as everyone else mentioned: strip is

Since dota is hard to some people, moba champions is currently making short video tutorials, we already released our first video that can be found here and we should be coming out with more short and helpful tutorials soon. please leave any feedback or comments.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: GOD DAMN I LOVE THIS VERSION OF ENGI-TAN

She actually looks better with more clothes on. Odd, but true.

I LOVE this strip. I've missed the old, well-shaded comics so much, and this is a return to form - big time. Engi-tan never looked so good before. KEEP IT UP!

I just want to say that fully clothed non-fanservicey Engi-tan looks amazing. And not just because of the shading (though it helps.)

Nerf now is in HD Edition!

Lovely engie

Ironic Comment

Shaded Engie is exceptionally shaded.

SUDDENLY, SHADING!

Beautiful, beautiful shading!

Oh hi shading.

now this is how you'd get your name seriously out there, jo.

quality is so good...
Engi-tan looks amazing...

Loving the highlights and shading!

Engie-tan looks surprisingly good in a more... complete outfit.
@Shtorovchan: He always liked Dota. He's just making fun how Dota2 seems even more harder for him than the first.

oh my
look at the colours

what is this? SEVERAL layers of shading? engie-tan with less than 70% of her skin revealed? in MY nerfnow? (i like it)

@remember
Where did you get the silly idea that copyright only lasts 2 years in the US? For most computer games it is 95 years...

Fucking brazilian faggot

Wait a sec... Shading is more detailed, ... Engie-tan has a normal outfit,... and you actually like a game you're talking about?! WHERE IS THE REAL JO AND WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?!?!?

Damn man that is some nice shading, I'd love to see it in other comics

you are just a shit player at everything (including tf2)

OMG
JO..JUST....JUST....THANK YOU
THE MOST BAUTIFULL THINK I SAW IN A GOD DAMN WHILE!

Call me weird but I think she looks hotter in the normal engie gear.

seriously, engie(1) is hot as ever. No - even hotter.

the new shading is AWESOME, and engie tan looks hot despite normal clothes.

KEEP IT UP

yeah, all the noobs get into the beta right now...very clever valve..

I wanted to find out what the fuss over DOTA was about, after having missed out on the entire RTS scene so far. But both my attempts to apply for the beta seems to have been ignored. Maybe it's better for me this way.

I liked how the TENTACLE got RAPED this time around.

I hate it. DOTA single handedly destroyed pretty much every other Warcraft 3 CGs. It spawned a new genre that consists of *nothing* but clones with innovation rivaling that of EA Sports games.
Heroes of Newerth killed Savage 2, which was an infinitely better game. And not a clone in the slightest.

Its good to know you're working on your shading, bro.

Hi guys! Anyone has an extra invite that can spare me? Please! I want to play the demo :(

It still has the NerfNow flair, it's just been polished. Keep it up.

(The only discrepancy in the NerfNow thing is the radiosity in panel 2 and 4, it just causes an odd highlight not present in most of your other works.

ahh yes, less of a learning curve, and more of an orbital Launch Trajectory...

And the community is still shit.

Also, I like the shading in this one.

Best one yet!

Dota2:Play Me...

Me: How can I play you if you never gave me my freaking beta key dammit!

btw how u sign in ta dis place im just typin mah name and writin comments tell me now >:-(

troll youve just been trolled

lol thats funny nice new comic btw eem...also hadd me an deviant art and steam,plus i cant belive people dont go to your deveant theyll know u updated the art!!!!!! oh well add me
deviant-mattsnation
steam-chachoman300 or BLOOD SHOT

Is it just me or did the art get better in this comic? It looks good, especially on Engie-tan, though I agree with another comment about the old Engie (orange hair), I do miss her too :{

So jelly...still waiting on my invite

To be good at dota, you pretty much need the equivalent knowledge and hours required to get a masters.

hawt engie-tan(1). sry, but im a fan of the old engie. ;-;
i miss her...

Oooh, very nice new style. Engie came out perfect.

Sometimes, even Engie-tan has to dress *slightly* modestly. Just goes to show you that you don't have to be stripped to the skivvies to be hot.

The improved shading on dem curves doesn't hurt. Kudos.

DotA is not made by BLizzard and they have no right concerning it. Furthermore you can only make a copyright for 2 years in America so.... They cant do anything against it. If Blizzard tries to sell a game like Dota i would only laugh at them...

dem overalls! o~o

Oooh Engie is in higher res... which somehow gave her a work shirt and acutal overalls. XD

Now do porn in the new art style.

FUCKING
DO IT

I like the new art style, but if were sticking with this one, then I'm going to miss the old one.

It's like, the new one doesn't have that Nerf NOW! feel. But oh well. Let's just see as time passes by!

So this is how you rape a tentacle monster.
.
.

Good to know...

Oh my God I'm loving the color usage in this. Engie looks so HD and laid backness. Double win.

A wild NEW ART STYLE appeared!
I'm not complaining, I personally think it looks awesome. Plus the new design for engie-tan is nice, too. It looks more like a female engineer and less like...engie. Which isn't entirely a good thing, but I think the rewards outweigh the benefits.

@J:
In actuality the content/subject matter of the comic has a lot of varience. He covers a lot of different games and also other non-game topics too.

@J:
Just about every comic out there has you know, characters. They are needed to have dialog, be put in situations and tell jokes.
CAD, Penny Arcade, VGcats, Fanboys, Sinfest to name a few, have at least two characters and just put them in different situations, to deliver jokes.

Funny, I just come from doing a 8-streak rampage vs bots as huskar(first dota2 game ever, finally). So yeah, the bots are tough (not as tough as DotA1 ones, but a lot more than LoL's) but they're exploitable with the correct hero.

@random guy from the internet: It's... more work. Not -that- much work, but I already write, draw and paint. I will try to keep it on though since you guys seen to like it. :)

Pfft. Real RTS games are where it's at.

@lobrujack: It's pretty much what the other Engie always wears. The strawberry-blonde one with the longer hair.

Did anyone else like Nerfnow a lot more before half the comic turned into these dialogues between the tentacle and engie-tan?

Shit got old awhile ago.

"Play me... Play me...and noobs will envy your power...
Play me... and IceFrog will bow at your feet...
Play me... and you shall be 1337...

I told you could not leave me so easily. Ha Ha Ha!"

Beautiful shading bud! I know it takes longer to do but, once and a while I hope you do more shaded comics.

I find it kind of funny that it is a comic about Dota 2, but there is advertisements on the sides of the page for League of Legends

I forgot to mention, but is that ambient radiocity I see?

The lines are bolder, the shading is done id gradients, and the shading itself is done in a much more standard way. Way to go! More you put in the more you get out.

Oh hey, I like the new engie-tan outft!

your shading looks great...please keep it up if it isn't not too much work

Tough love, baby!

I see a noticeable difference in your art here. Good job, looks great, though im not sure if it takes away from what Nerfnow used to look like.

I'm surprised blizzard isn't bringing out the lawyer armies...

The shading/coloring really makes a big difference, thumbs up!

Love the new shading.

Looks like the graphics have gone up a level :D

Shading shading?

Looks nice.
