Func_Msgboard: As Gaming Evolves...

Posted by DaZ on 2004/01/10 23:19:06

A mini-discussion(tm) that me and Phait had on #tf got me thinking, the rant was about whether online "sports" should be called sports and if the people playing these games professionally should be called "athletes".

As gaming gets more and more mainstream what do you see happening to the gaming world in terms of recognition from the masses, things like TV shows, online championships and sports and gaming integrated into everyday life. Do you ever think you would get TV coverage of pro matches and tournaments like you get with football these days?

The most pressing of all might be : how will integration into the mainstream affect the actual games getting released? And also the developers making these games? For instance game sensorship and explicit content.

Fire away...

You've never actually seen my soul, have you?

Besides, I'm a cynic, and Anti-Nowhere League's my backing band.

Sorry For The Taunts, FC

White Lightening is completely legal to purchase in most parts of the Southland, just didn't want to leave a mis impression.

Oh, And Beautiful

in the same way Baudelaire could describe a cat carcus in elegant and enchanting language.

Don't make any sudden movements or loud noises, move slowly away, and don't turn your back. I think it's on heat.

Lol
