Hmmm Goatse makes you laugh? I present the 8 stages of Goatse: http://www.the-elite.net/ClarkPage/Phases/

World record is 56 seconds. That is verified by video.

Couldn't find the 0:56 video. There is a 1:00 on youtube though.

Looks like he took a walk on the wild side while building it...

As an added note, I did send something similar to this to Nintendo of America and got a response back which said that it was very neat that I could develop something like this, but they could not host it in their magazine for the following reason: Namely that the Nintendo GameCube has a Class I laser housed inside a Class I case and if the mechanism is bypassed that prevents operation of the laser while the lid is open, then potential eye damage is probable. They didn't want to give anyone the idea to take apart a GameCube and damage their vision. I totally understand, but it was neat to get a response that wasn't automated! - The Story of the NEC

Controller breakage stories? Man, I could tell you stories...

The fastest GoldenEye 007 videos add up to around 1 hour 18 minutes.
For Perfect Dark they add to something less than 1:40.
Of course, these are the collaborative work of many, many different gamers... but we've been working on those times for six years, and we use WAY more tricks. Enjoy.

Pro videogaming isn't/wouldn't be about strength or agility. It'd be about SKILL. It'd be about STRATEGY. Sometimes, both at once. Both these things are under-represented in the realms of pro sports.

And say what you like, but in 2 weeks you cannot turn any old individual into a top gamer. "Hand-eye coordination" - as in, simply being able to play the game - is just the first step on a path which ascends far higher than you imagine. I know people who have been playing GoldenEye for speed times for the last six solid years, and those times are STILL coming down. In other words, their skills are still improving.

What can you come out of a professional gaming career with? That you could pwnz0r all those bitches with the fucking rocket launcher? That you could click 500 milliseconds faster than a handful of other people?

What would you come out of a professional athletics career with? The fact that you can jump higher than anybody else? These rewards are valuable to the people who strive for them. It's a matter of perspective.

Videogaming at a sufficiently high level take just as much skill than many worldwide sports. In fact, more so, due to the heavily lessened physical strength/agility/flexibility aspect.
In addition, many spectator sports appear to me to be *fantastically* boring compared to observing a good multiplayer deathmatch. Imagine the enthusiasm if we all had teams/players to support in addition.
