    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        No, they cannot.

          The other three I mentioned are not sports. They are games or activities. Mental fatigue is as real as physical fatigue in one of the games I mentioned.

              Starcraft players measure themselves in APM, actions per minute. How quickly they can input commands to the game. 60 APM is pretty decent for a mere mortal in the US.

              The cutoff for "professional" level in Korea is 300 APM. That's 5 actions a second. Here's what that looks like in practice.

                Still a game or activity, along with the others I mentioned.

                Is it challenging? Hell yes. I am not out to take away from their skill. No way, no how. But it's not a sport.

                  So let them enter the nerd Olympics. They're still sitting at a computer playing a silly game.

                    And I'm not arguing with Brent about how wrong he is about golfers. Its not worth the time, when I'm obviously right.

                      Jeebus. That's insane. The fastest I've ever been clocked typing was in keyboarding class back in high school. It was 190ish wpm. I can't even process the speed of some of these Starcraft videos in my head.

                                It's not like people didn't already know. The site is in or near the top 20 sites for world wide popularity. It gets traffic, and it's not just that one extremely lonely guy at the corner drugstore.
