Good Morning Lodge.

I don't know, and don't care to know, what a LARPer is.

I do agree with bb though, that referring to video games as e-sport is truly sad.

I like video games and they are big money (sold out staples center), RMU in Illinois offers video game playing scholarships and has a head coach. It's competition, but not a sport.

ESL championships are happening pretty soon in New York, actually. Collegiate StarLeague should also be starting up in a bit.

RPI does have Games & Simulation Arts & Sciences.

I watched a bit out of curiosity. I have no idea UUT eff I was watching, what the object was or anything else. Does this make me old?

I have eclectic tastes. I will watch/learn about pretty much anything because I am curious. Anything does not include some of the mainline sports- Baseball, football, basketball, pro hockey have been prostituted out to make more money. When they start changing the rules to make a game more exciting, people are ridiculously huge/tall it loses me.

of course I have no trouble watching track and field when kids run by a 'few' times, chuck stuff etc. I do NOT like the whole rabbit in the race they do now for the pros. You should be able to do it yourself or fugettaboutit

Live Action Role Player. Think the people at the Renaissance Festival, only nerdier. They act out video games, in character and such.

Mornin' y'all. I know a few people who play Starcraft and watch the top players play online and whatnot.. I sure as hell don't get it.:p

Too bad it isn't the 80s or we'd have an e-sports movie...
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)

Talk of LARPERS and nerds reminded me of The Guild - a web-short series about online gaming.

Don't know if any have seen it, but the first few season were pretty **** funny.

I've never played online games and stopped video games with the PS-2 (and the end of my reefer daze ;):D), but I played D & D as a kid, so some of the humor hit close to home - sometimes painfully. The wife - who was cooler than me as a kid - loved it too.

I have a bunch of stuff to do this Monday, away from my desk, so it will go fast. That's not a bad thing. Have to go to Office Max to get some stuff laminated, and buy some supplies for my training session next week. Then have to go to the printing office and get everything lined up there to print my training materials. Going to quick drop the tux off at the store on my way to Office Max, since it is on the way. After work I'm meeting up with the wife to drive down to my parents place to pick up Beau. Busy day!

The wedding this past weekend went pretty well. It was fun, and the venue was very nice, Grandview Lodge, for those in MN. Drank a bunch of beer on the weekend, but never went overboard, just maintained a long-term buzz/light drunk, and didn't get crazy. So that was a complete success. I didn't need to make an *** out of myself at my sister's wedding, she would most likely have never forgiven me. :p
Overall, I think the wedding was good, but the party wasn't as good as our wedding. The DJ kinda sucked, whereas our DJ was absolutely incredible. We had more people dancing, and a huge variety of people dancing, and this weekend it is 95% just young people, friends of the bride/groom. We had to have had close to 100 people still there at the end of the night, still dancing for the last song. I did think that the food at my sister's wedding was better than ours, but they spent a truckload for steak dinners at Grandview Lodge, so that is expected.
I got to have the Commander Garbage Pizza for lunch on Friday, which was a must for me. Hadn't had it in years, and it was still very good, like I remembered. It was fun spending the whole weekend in a huge house with friends and family. My dad, aunt, and godfather split the rental of a huge 6 bedroom house on The Pines golf course, and all of our families stayed there. We had about 15 people there, and it didn't seem crowded at all. The house had 9 beds, that slept everyone, and we didn't even use the multiple couches. There was a pool table, poker table, multiple flat screen TVs, wet bar, 4 bathrooms, huge kitchen...and it wasn't even that expensive when you consider how many people were staying there.

For anyone that has a wedding coming up in the future, get a DJ that DJs at a strip club. But I do have to agree with bb_dl, the DJ wasnt that good.

Starcraft 2 is somewhat akin to a chess match, although obviously not turn based. Build up an economy (minerals and gas are your "money"), buy up an army, and go take out the other guy's base. You win by destroying your opponent's buildings.
