Just started playing Cuphead with my kids. Love the oldtime cartoon graphics.

I will not recognize this as legitimate until they add Centipede and Mario Brothers.

Centipede is the GOAT, but boy all those old arcade games give me carpal tunnel.

Dont think that was the video games there, homie.

I just hope the e-refs don't e-screw our e-team.

Heard the esport crowd is very much pro-God. Be well

I made a concerted effort to ignore this whole topic because quite frankly it sounds really dumb to me.  However, I'm sitting here drinking a cup of coffee on a vacation day so I thought, what the heck...

So, using the term sports while sitting in front of a TV seems, again dumb, I have to admit I assumed they would at least be playing fake SPORTS games not shoot em up games.  I'm going to go back to completely ignoring this concept.

And I'm not a baby boomer so you can't OK Boomer me.

Quonwhar only gets the easy e-kills.

The recruiting prediction service is called the Crystal Disembodied.

I misread the thread title thinking the "p" was a "c", and thought we were turning into Louisville for a second.

Came across this which appears to be from Syracuse.  Not sure on it's accuracy but it wouldn't surprise me.

I think you're right. Whenever I spend any time in a room with gamers, I hear them say, "Goddam it!!" several times. Also, "Jesus Christ!"

A very religious bunch.

I had to look up cosplay today. Have seen it a million times... but there's Some convention here this weekend... lil guys in Batman outfits.. wtf

World's already beats out the world series in viewership. Minus 2016

Actually this is false.  Was exposed a few months ago based on how streams were counted vs traditional viewership of the other sports.  Apples to peanuts.

Mark Cuban is calling it a horrible business.  The statistics are such a joke and there are people out there using the term fraudulent. 

It isn't without value, but way way way overstated at the moment.
