    Can we assume that gaming really is an addiction, when two /.stories in a row are based on that very topic?

    In light of the previous article, is this somewhat like the Cannibus Cup in The Netherlands?

    Let me see, participating players 2 and bronze gives $2000. Talk about easy earned money if I have known this earlier. :)

  8. Competing Articles? by devnullkac · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Oh, the irony is so thick you can taste it! An article from Michael about whether online gaming adiction is something to concern us, followed immediately by one from CmdrTaco practically proclaiming "Let the Games Begin!"

    Not that I'm looking for editorial consistency (far from it), but as they say, timing is everything :-)

    Check the player totals for each event:

    There are currently only two players in Crazy Scooter, yet there are three purses. Enter now and you walk with at least $2,000!
