    I'm telling you it takes athleticism to play it. Your right index and middle finger along with your right wrist and your left fingers get a good workout while playing. xD I've actually broken a mouse already. Too many right clicks But on a more serious note interesting news.

    Then why isn't Halo a government accepted sport?

    Re: We are now playing a sport

    Gaming considered a sport? A bit too much if you ask me, perhaps with an extension of the meaning xD
    I was younger then, I wasn’t afraid of anything, I didn’t think about dying for a second. I thought I was invincible. Then I met some girl. I wanted to live, I started to think like that; for the first time I was afraid of death. I had never felt like that before.

    Fact is genius's can take all the hard work of the common folk and turn the whole entire thing around, so that it's like it was all for nothing. As one of those with talent, let me apologize. I know it's unfair but... TOUGH SHIT, SUCKER'S!!

    Humans believe their lives and ants lives are weighted differently. This is profound arrogance.

    Nothing worse than being strong, but not strong enough.

    No. Only LoL is counted as a sport so far. Nothing else is.

    Re: We are now playing a sport

    Playing League of Legends for the LCS is a sport, playing LoL casually isn't. Halo isn't recognized as a pro sport is because no one actually bothered to make a professional league/match systme thing majib.

    Please forgive me, I don't know what I just typed too.

    Re: We are now playing a sport

    Why would a videogame be a sport....? There is no athleticism in this game and it should'nt be a sport.
