Theater Morphing Into Multi-Player Gaming Arena

J3zmund writes "This article highlights the attempt by ESports Arena to bring gaming to the masses. They're building what looks like a command center with gaming equipment, comfy chairs, and big screens to follow the action. For the price of a movie, patrons can frag to their hearts' content for 2 hours (extra time available, of course). This could sprawn some interesting events (once gaming goes beyond 'kill'). With The Sims ready to go online this month, it could open this up to a much larger audience than the "young males" they currently identify.

    Weeelllll -

    my cunt is a'drippin',
    your lips are a'sippin',
    my ass is a'crappin',
    your mouth is a'lappin'

    all that comes out of an oracifce
    you eat for a main course-ifice
    poop and pee, all a'yummy
    Sitting proud inside your tummy!

    Thank you, thank you very much. I'll be here all week. Tip your waitstaff.

    I found that saddest T-shirt ever on ebay once, it was a t-shirt somebody had made for the Commodore 64 Rocky Horror Picture Show game. I figure a shirt like that must appeal to about 6 people in the whole world.
