Jon St. Jon, the Duke Nukem voice actor, revealed on Twitter that he had a great time last week recording for DotA at Valve Software, thereby confirming rumors that the game developer is indeed working on a Defense of the Ancients game. DotA is a very popular RPG-style mod for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos co-developed by an anonymous guy known only as "IceFrog". He was hired by Valve in October 2008 to lead a development team.
