The post is Axe Item Build for RTS Game "DotA"
Item Build
When starting out, ask yourself the following question:
Am I playing as Axe?
If yes, get 
If no, get
If no, get
Then ask yourself:
How manly am I feeling right now?
If you're feeling extremely manly, get
If you're feeling moderately manly, get
If you're feeling not all that manly at all, get
In other words, any combination of Tangos, Stouts, and Branches is good, so long as you buy at least one Tango and one Stout. Healing Salves are highly discouraged due to the fact that Axe is at his best when he's right in the middle of the fray, and being able to regenerate health through it is how real men roll. Also consider whether or not you are an Axe virgin and whether or not you have a lane partner: if you are inexperienced, take the moderately manly route.

Core Build
No Axe player should leave home without:
Don't like it? Tough shit. Does Chuck Norris kill people with only roundhouse kicks? Absolutely not. Did Ash Williams only rely on his Boomstick? Fuck no! He had his chainsaw, and when that was out of the question, he built flamethrowers, harpoon guns and a fully functional gauntlet-hand of awesomeness.
If you would like to follow the lead of the manly men before you, you must learn to adapt to the best available way of beating ass.
Start off by looking at your Stouts. You have one, right? You will want to upgrade it to something more fitting for someone like Axe. You have a pair of choices:
OR 
Clearly, a Poor Man's Shield is a hell of a lot cheaper than Vanguard. It also has the advantage of providing guaranteed damage blocking against heroes. However, it does little else other than raise your armor by roughly .857.
Vanguard, on the other hand, gives you extra hit points, hit point regeneration, and the ability to ride creep waves like you used to ride the classroom sluts. Mathcraft may have a say one way or the other, but in a general sense, Vanguard is the more universal answer and also allows you to eventually sell your second Stout, if you bought one, without too much of a problem. You are a tank, after all. If you're really feeling crazy, get both, but don't be the idiot who buys two Vanguards. Diminishing returns is a bitch.
Next, look at your footwear. Clearly, we want to wade through the remains of our enemies, but there are three different sets of shoes to do that wading.
Power Treads are like a flea market or like your mom when the rent's due: cheap and dirty. Sure, the buildup is easy and you do receive +10 to local beefiness, but several problems also rear their ugly head. First off, as we've already established, Axe is slow. Assuming every other hero is smart enough to buy boots of their own, you have done nothing to narrow the gap. Furthermore, +25 attack speed doesn't mean much of anything since, as we've already established, Axe's auto-attack sucks the hog. Therefore, Power Treads are not recommended.
If you can get around the decidedly fairy-like coloration, Phase Boots are a fine choice for Axe. While, again, the damage bonus is largely wasted, the bonus to movement speed is greater, enabling Axe to more effectively chase down dinner. More importantly, not only does using the Phase ability gives Axe the highest movement speed bonus of all three choices of footwear, it also enables him to run through the crowd to position himself exactly where he needs to Call his enemies to the slaughter. Especially if you have another hero who can initiate team fights, Phase Boots are a very solid choice. Get these most of the time.
Do not, however, discount Boots of Travel. While they cost the most, Axe is a good enough farmer that ricing for these is not particularly difficult. In the mean time, these give the largest pre-Phase movement speed boost as well as the ability to teleport to whatever friendly unit or structure needs your attention the most. You can use this ability to quickly get into the fight, get out of the fight (you're not retreating, you're attacking in the opposite direction) or even just to wade in the dead bodies in a different lane. If you're a decent farmer or have to be the one to initiate, Boots of Travel may be your ticket to becoming a certifiable badass.
Now What?
"But Zotmaster," I hear you cry as your taste buds feebly attempt to process the awesomeness of your fresh bag of beef jerky, "what do I do after that? There are so many items in DotA, and every other guide tells me what to buy, every time!"
This is wrong! Item builds are fluid. It depends on what heroes your team has, what heroes the enemy has, and how the game is progressing in general. Remember what I said about real men being able to kill people with whatever's at hand?
Ask yourself the following questions, select the one you can say yes to best, and get the corresponding item! If only getting laid was that easy, huh?
FOLLOW UP: are my opponents a bunch of AoE-dropping assholes?
and push that bitch!
or 
FOLLOW UP: is the game still going on?
