      I watched a ton of vidcasts featuring "company of heroes". Great entertainment imho.

      Might even run into an old poly poster and mod.

      Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

        I had no idea such things were happening. Stands to reason, I guess.

        Somewhat odd that it's called "sport"...

          only odd because you're not used to it, took me awhile too.

            It's as much of a 'sport' as chess or poker is. Yes, highly competitive games... but sport?

              Wikipedia says about sports:

              Sport is all forms of physical activity which, through casual or organised participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical fitness and provide entertainment to participants.
              So this stuff isn't a sport, by that definition, and neither would be chess, poker, or *cough* baseball (nix on the entertainment part).

                Are you claiming baseball doesn't entertain the participants? So the guy swinging a bat actually hates doing it and wishes it would stop?

                  Yes. Hates it so much they could cry. Unfortunately, there is no crying in baseball.

                    So how should these be called if not sport(s)?

                    Highly competitive games?!?

                      I am actually fine with it being called 'competitive gaming' or something. But it needs to be held as valuable as sport.
