    I normally think of LoL as a mega casual style/noob as hell Action RTS/MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena?)
    Demigod is a "mega casual style/noob as hell Action RTS/MOBA."

    LoL is a more casual style action RTS/MOBS or whatever.

    Trust me, LoL's learning curve is still pretty steep for those of us who aren't familiar with DotA. It might feel like a "noob as hell" version of DotA for someone that's played the latter for 6 or 7 years, but it doesn't feel that way to green players. But you're right that in many ways it is simpler than DotA due to its omission of some mechanics.

    On the other hand, Demigod has NO cover, no forest mobs/bosses, no last hitting, relatively sloooow combat, no recipes, no runes... THAT game is super, super mega noob.

    Are you serious?

    For people like you who spend most of your free time away from a computer and eat healthy food, steam is the gaseous phase of water which can be used as a method of transferring heat to cook chiefly vegetables, but also fish, eggs, and other foods. At 1 atmosphere, the transition temperature from liquid water to steam is 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit). It is often preferred to cook vegetables with steam rather than boiling them in water since vegetable nutrients can dissolve in the cooking water, and boiled vegetables often have a mushy consistency compared to steamed vegetables, which can more easily be made to retain their crispness.

    Steam has historically many other uses as well. Heating water to steam and using steam to spin turbines is still the most common way to convert extracted heat energy to electricity. In addition, steam was historically the most common manner of converting solid fuel such as wood or coal into mechanical energy that powered locomotive devices such as boats and trains. In this last application, it has been superseded by internal combustion engines which use aerosols of light molecular weight extracts from crude oil in air to generate combustion reactions that directly drive pistons.

    For those of us who live grossly unhealthy and disordered lifestyles in which we spend much of our recreational time vegetating in front of our computers, allowing our bodies to whither and decay and setting ourselves up for health problems in our middle and old age, Steam is an online service and vendor that allows players to directly purchase and download games from the Steam service. There is no physical media needed to install the purchased software. Even many games purchased in the form of traditional physical media require the game to be associated with a Steam account. The advantage for users is that purchasing of games is instantaneous with neither having to wait for a mail order to arrive or to subject themselves to the horrors of daylight or the outside world if they were to buy the game at a brick-and-mortar store. However, it does require that the player sign into the online Steam service (and hence have an active Internet connection), though there is a limited offline mode that allows players to use their account in case of that only intermittent internet access is available.
