| Have I ever actually played a video game Yarba? Why, yes I have. My original complaint, and I stand by it, is these video game competitions are pathetic. It is my opinion and I am entitled to it. I will never hold video gaming on the same level as athletes who participate in the triathlon. I am not apart of the intended audience whenever this "show" will air on television. End of story. |
Partially I agree, they are not a sport at all. Unless you're playing Wii boxing lol. I don't think it will gain any form of mainstream popularity. Paying the gamers to play is a bit rediculous and IMO will only result in more pushing of crappy video games like Halo. Speaking from experience, when the mainstream gets ahold of something good it turns into something really really bad. But as far as video game leagues go, they're a lot of fun. People DO take it too seriously, but not all of them; the majority are just there to have fun and show off thier mad skillz

| Kadara, Ray Bradbury is the author of Fahrenheit 451. He depicted a society where people are only entertained with in-ear audio (described eerily similar to iPods) and television devices. He wrote it in the late 40s early 1950s. |
The Martian Chronicles
Something Wicked This Way Comes
The Halloween Tree
The Homecoming
The Tattooed Man
as well as hundreds of short stories and things I haven't made my way around to yet.
Bradburry was/is an amazing author; definately one of the best of our time. A warning though, it's somewhat of an aquired taste (Farenheit 451 in particular is a bit...strangely written at times, it's extremely good though). |

"An acquired taste... difficult to read at times." Yes, yes I read it with an audiobook playing simultaneously.  |
