I was having a conversation with sgt_dragun, which looks like this:

First time I saw the valve animation in Dota 2, it scared the whit out of me.

@sgt_dragun What was scary? :S

— Joey Lau (@NGPriest) June 29, 2012

@NGPriest During the Valve intro to the game, the head turns and the eye is glowing. It doesn’t scare me now though…

@sgt_dragun Do you want to disable it? :p

— Joey Lau (@NGPriest) June 29, 2012

@NGPriest No, I can skip it using Spacebar.

— SG7 (@sgt_dragun) June 29, 2012

@sgt_dragun There are other ways of skipping it :p

— Joey Lau (@NGPriest) June 29, 2012

@NGPriest How would you turn it off?

— SG7 (@sgt_dragun) June 29, 2012

@sgt_dragun I’ll blog about it one day…

— Joey Lau (@NGPriest) June 29, 2012

@NGPriest That didn’t help much…

So, with nothing else to do (except for a LONG list of stuff…)
Let’s start off with Steam?

Right click on Dota 2

Select properties

Now, select Set Launch Options

And type in -novid

Click Ok

Then Close

Happy Dota 2-ing (or whatever Steam games you play…)
