jester42 writes "The quasi-olympics in eSports just took place this last weekend in Seoul, Korea. 600 players from 55 nations competed in 8 different games to find both best players and best nations. The results of each game, and a medal tally can be found at the WCG website. Germany got the title of best nation, ahead of Chinese Taipei and Korea. The World Cyber Games are held every year, and national qualifications are followed by a final. Next year's final will be hosted by San Francisco, and will be the first time the WCG finals take place outside Asia."

Why isn't this an olympic sport yet?

Programming is like sex... Make one mistake and support it the rest of your life.
Ted and David made their way into the lab where the animal experiments were conducted. A cute, fuzzy penguin had caught their eye...
The evil duo quickly subdued the little lab penguin. They strapped the now helpless animal's head to the sex table with hot leather. David had the urge, and removed his pants, which were now bulging. After slipping off his briefs, David tightly fastened the leather straps and was ready to begin.......
David began to "grease up". Shoving endless amounts of Vaseline and baby oil all around the penguin's ass, he slid his purple head firmly into the penguin's tight asshole. Even though the penguin was slightly unconscious, screams of pain were constantly being emitted. Ted reached for the chain whip and smacked the penguin's soft nose until its face was soaked with blood. Now, with the penguins head drooped over the edge of the table, David continued his sex hunt. His now tingling cock was pushed deeper and deeper through the thick layers of skin which covered the bowel tract. Five, six, seven, then finally all eight and 3/4 inches were plunged deep within the animal's love canal.
David's manhood tingled with every slight movement of the now half alive penguin. He began rhythmically sliding in and out, moaning with pleasure on every thrust. David worked himself into a hot orgasm. The blood, now coming steadily out of the penguin's ass with every thrust of David's pelvis, could be heard dripping on the floor. David's rate increased and with a final push, he spurted creamy white love gel far up into the penguin's bleeding ass.
The blood and cum mixed together on the floor, which had now accumulated a large puddle. Unknown to David, the semen had acted as a powerful enema for the penguin and out ushered the contents of its intestine. The stool was loose and soft. It fell to the ground with a soft thud and broke into small pieces. The obnoxious smell caught David's attention, and no sooner had he fallen to the ground and began licking the large puddle of blood, sperm, and stool. Exited at David's enthusiasm, Ted dropped to his knees and also began to slurp the foul mixture.
After cleaning the floor with their tongues, David and Ted checked on the battered lab penguin. It was barely able to hold its head up, as it had lost control of most of its motor functions. Feeling no pity for this sexually mistreated animal, they unstrapped it and tossed it across the room, only to make a loud and deep thud against the wall. Its blood soaked fur left spatters of red stains everywhere it touched. Its bodily fluids freely surged across the tiled floor.
Then with a look of extreme satisfaction, both David and Ted lit up some smokes, gathered their belongings and quietly left the hospital ground.
I need to be compensated for all the time I spend playing video games.
How can people say BSD is dying when it has a mascot like this?! Linux needs to get its act together if it's going to compete with the kind of hot chicks and gorgeous babes that BSD has to offer!
You just can't take Linux seriously when its fronted by losers like these. Would you buy software from them? I don't think so! You Linux groupies need to find some sexy girls like her! I mean just look at this girl! Doesn't she excite you? I know this little hottie puts me in need of a cold shower! This guy looks like he is about to cream his pants standing next to such a fox. As you can see, no man can resist this sexy little minx. I mean are you telling me you wouldn't like to get your hands on this ass?!
With sexy chicks like the lovely Ceren you could have people queuing up to buy open source products. Could you really refuse to buy a copy of BSD if she told you to? Come on, you must admit she is better than an overweight penguin or a gay looking goat! Don't you wish you could get one of these? Personally I know I would give my right arm to get this close to such a divine beauty!
Join the campaign for more cute open source babes today!

Get rid of the basketball court and the football field. Just have rows and rows of systems rigged up with FPS games.
At least fewer people will be killed inadvertently the next time a Columbine happens. The kids will have better aim.
On a more serious note, this is both interesting to me and disturbing at the same time. It's one of those things we probably should do something about, but won't.

After 12 years, the Linux zealot's ancient 386 machine gives up up the ghost! The machine went through alot, going through DOS 5.0, 6.0, Windows 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98 and Debian gnu/Linux. It even had a Geforce 4 on it using a AGP to ISA converter.
But now the machine was dead. So the Linux zealot decided to go to the local PC world to get a new machine.
He decided to get a Athlon 3500+ Packard Bell, when all of a sudden he heard a giant DUNNNNNNNNNN! And behind him, was the largest cheese greater in the world! Behind him was this fat bearded geek with an Apple logo on his chest. He was an Apple zealot. Suddenly Linux zealot had a weired feeling as a Giant Titatainum X appeared on a huge LCD display.
The titanium X span around a huge smiling blue face, while a cube appeared and rotated towards a desktop. The Apple Zealot started to talk about his Mac affection, and how he was going to buy a G5 to complete his collection, but the price, was almost 5,000 EUR, while the packard bell only costs 2000 EUR, and was noticbly faster. The spinning rainbow ball span for ages while it attempted to copy a 17 Mb mp3 file onto the zealot's iPOD. The Zealot said it was due to the fact that this machine was running the 68k version of OS X, and if you ran the G5 version it would only take two minutes, if that.
Anyway, he decided to "convert" the linux zealot, so he offered to give him one of his Imacs for free Since Linux zealot dosen't have much money (Flipping burgers to pay the bills of developing gnome software!), he agreed to get a free computer (that is, if you can actually call macs a "real" computer). So the Mac zealot told Linux zealot to meet him at his house later on that afternoon.

3 RTS and 3 FPS... 1 Sports game. I'll admit to not knowing what "survival project" is.
They need to round out the categories a bit more. Maybe a racing game, a fighter ala Street Fighter and its ilk.
And of course they need some turn-based strategy in here. I'm probably just a big dork, but I'd rather slowly watch a 8 person multiplayer game of Civilization unfold than watch people frag each other OVER and OVER and OVER.
What would you like to see in next years' games?
Whoever wrote those interviews with players in the WCG must be severely English impaired... It was like reading English written by someone who ran text through an online translator...
There is no doubt that korea is still the best gaming nation. Foreign nations were able to take 2nd (Germany) and 3rd (Canada) because of korea's bad organization. First off, they denied the two-time defending champion (Lim Yo Hwan, Slayers_`Boxer`) an automatic bid, which they had given him previously. They then ran the qualifers as best-of-1 with no losers bracket. Because of this and inherent randomness/map imbalance, many of the favorites from korea were eliminated early and only one of the qualifing players was ranked in the top 10 in Korea. This allowed Germany to pick up some points in Starcraft that they wouldn't have won otherwise.

Al Michaels: Wow, did you see how he clicked on that thingamabob, John? Such grace and finesse!
John Madden: It's amazing what accuracy he has, Al. But, you know what? I have a pretty good idea of how he refined his wrist motion.
Al Michaels: Ha ha ha. John, this is only network television, so we're treading on thin ice. But with 28 years of practice, it's no wonder why he is just so good. Now, let's join Lisa Guerrero with the Nerd Alert.
Until Slashdot fixes the funny modifier, use insightful or interesting. The poster knows your intentions.
There are demos available on SoGamed's demo section - it's pretty slow right now though...
Any technology distinguishable from magic, is insufficiently advanced.
Ok, the format of this contest was really questionable. First lets look at the games:
Age of Mythology - This game has no business being in any tournament. It flat out sucks. Should be replaced by multiplayer Civilization.
FIFA Soccer - Uh hello, in the US Madden on PS2 outsells like every crappy soccer game ever made for any system COMBINED. This is a clear example of anti-US bias.
Counterstrike - AGREED. This is the #1 tournament game in the world. But why no team competition? CS requires teamwork more than almost any other game.
StarCraft - SC is over 5 years old, and almost noone plays it anymore. It has no business being in this tournament. Big suprise, the Koreans won this event, I heard this game is HUGE over there. This event was obviously just thrown in to give Korea a free event.
UT2003 - This game sucks, it has no business being here, period.
Warcraft 3 - No complaints.
Halo - The anti-US bias here is CLEAR. The US would have taken this event hands down because X-Box is far more popular in the US than anywhere else. But for some reason there was no team event? So Korea gets its free gold event, but the US doesn't. That sure seems fair.
Survival - I've never even heard of this game, it obviously isn't big in the US. Probably popular in the Asian countries. MORE ANTI-US BIAS.
Also, look at the competetors for the US. WHERE WAS THRESH? He could have smoked any of those chump UT, CS or Halo players with one hand. Why didn't he compete?
Obviously this tournament is somehting of a joke. If they want to have a serious tournament next year then they should bring in REAL games that REAL people play, quit hating on the USA, and bring in the BEST PLAYERS from all the countries.

The FIFA Soccer Finals: two German twin brothers who agreed beforehand to split the prize.
As England's Gary Lineker said: Football is a game with 22 men and in the end, the Germans always win.
!wow
My God! How did this modded up?!
the games aren't constant.
it's like turning the rules of soccer(or american football) on it's head every few years. with the olympic cycle of 4 years, the games would completely change between every olympic games held. now you could become 'olympic level' in any of the games mentioned now in just few years practice, which is not possible in (most) other olympic sports.
now, just about the only (electronic)games that would have had the longevity needed for even thinking of being added would be nethack(with special categories such as illiterate monk?) and.. well, something, tetris perhaps. the games that have been played for 10+ years aren't exactly popular.
perhaps in 50 years we will have games that have a life of more than 20+ years, enough to strike it through as a real long term sports.
world was created 5 seconds before this post as it is.
hmm didnt know they still called it that. next thing you know someone will start talking about formousa :-p. get over the political correctness; its Taiwan

Wohoo, Sweden at least one the CounterStrike competition. It was even on mentioned on swedish national news. (I guess we don't win that much, so we are happy with what we get)
Congratulation guys!
A few years ago, while browsing around the library downtown, I had to take a piss. As I entered the john a big beautiful all-American football hero type, about twenty five, came out of one of the booths. I stood at the urinal looking at him out of the corner of my eye as he washed his hands. He didn't once look at me. He was "straight" and married -- and in any case I was sure I wouldn't have a chance with him.
As soon as he left I darted into the booth he'd vacated, hoping there might be a lingering smell of shit and even a seat still warm from his sturdy young ass. I found not only the smell but the shit itself. He'd forgotten to flush. And what a treasure he had left behind. Three or four beautiful specimens floated in the bowl. It apparently had been a fairly dry, constipated shit, for all were fat, stiff, and ruggedly textured. The real prize was a great feast of turd -- a nine inch gastrointestinal triumph as thick as a man's wrist. I knelt before the bowl, inhaling the rich brown fragrance and wondered if I should obey the impulse building up inside me. I'd always been a heavy rimmer and had lapped up more than one little clump of shit, but that had been just an inevitable part of eating ass and not an end in itself.
Of course I'd had jerkoff fantasies of devouring great loads of it (what rimmer hasn't), but I had never done it. Now, here I was, confronted with the most beautiful five-pound turd I'd ever feasted my eyes on, a sausage fit to star in any fantasy and one I knew to have been hatched from the asshole of the world's handsomest young stud. Why not? I plucked it from the bowl, holding it with both hands to keep it from breaking. I lifted it to my nose.
It smelled like rich, ripe limburger (horrid, but thrilling), yet had the consistency of cheddar. What is cheese anyway but milk turning to shit without the benefit of a digestive tract? I gave it a lick and found that it tasted better then it smelled. I've found since then that shit nearly almost does..
I hesitated no longer. I shoved the fucking thing as far into my mouth as I could get it and sucked on it like a big brown cock, beating my meat like a madman. I wanted to completely engulf it and bit off a large chunk, flooding my mouth with the intense, bittersweet flavor. To my delight I found that while the water in the bowl had chilled the outside of the turd, it was still warm inside. As I chewed I discovered that it was filled with hard little bits of something I soon identified as peanuts. He hadn't chewed them carefully and they'd passed through his body virtually unchanged. I ate it greedily, sending lump after peanutty lump sliding scratchily down my throat. My only regret was the donor of this feast wasn't there to wash it down with his piss.
I soon reached a terrific climax. I caught my cum in the cupped palm of my hand and drank it down. Believe me, there is no more delightful combination of flavors than the hot sweetness of cum with the rich bitterness of shit. Afterwards I was sorry that I hadn't made it last longer.
But then I realized that I still had a lot of fun in store for me. There was still a clutch of virile turds left in the bowl. I tenderly fished them out, rolled them into my hankercheif, and stashed them in my briefcase. In the week to come I found all kinds of ways to eat the shit without bolting it right down. Once eaten it's gone forever unless you want to filch it third hand out of your own asshole. Not an unreasonable recourse in moments of desperation or simple boredom.
I stored the turds in the refrigerator when I was not using them but within a week they were all gone. The last one I held in my mouth without chewing, letting it slowly dissolve. I had liquid shit trickling down my throat for nearly four hours.. I must have had six orgasms in the process.
I often think of that lovely young guy dropping solid gold out of his sweet, pink asshole every day, never knowing what joy it could, and at least once did, bring to a grateful shiteater.

David Blaine has emerged, emotional, drained and confused at the end of his 44-day self-imposed fast.
Stepping weakly out of his Perspex box, he stammered: "This has been one of the most experiences of my life, next to felching Malda."
His tortuous diet of just taco-snot saw him lose four-stone and the exertions, both physical and mental, had clearly taken their toll on him.
Struggling to overcome the manic screams from the crowds at Tower Bridge, and his own floods of tears, he said: "This has been one of the most important experiences of my life.
"I have learned more in that little box than I have in years. I learned how hard it is to have any senese of humour in life because nothing makes any sense anyway.
"I have learned how strong we all are as human beings, how strong we all are.
"But most importantly, I learned to appreciate all the simple things in life - a smile from a stranger or a loved one, the sunrise, the sunset.
"Everything that God has given us."
And repeating words that had been thrown at him by many during his experiment, he added: "I thank you so much. I love you all, I love you."
Shivering despite being wrapped in a blanket, he seemed agitated as paramedics on the scene carried out an initial series of tests.
They gave him oxygen and checked his heart rythym before taking him to a waiting ambulance an on to a hospital, thousands of fans waving him on.
Were they running both on the same win2k computer, or their ISP just pulled the plug?

Ok. Anyone bashing SC, stfu and read this carefully. Though the game is old, or even very old, it is played a WHOLE FUCKING LOT. Don't believe me? Go log onto BNET (your choice of US gateways if you think only Koreans are playing it) and see how many people play it. Yea, it is about the SAME AS BEFORE - over 10k games usually.
Furthermore, SC displays the following great points:
1. It is balanced. There has been almost no RTS as balanced like this one.
2. Look at the gameplay. Forget the micromanagement in the new games, this one is as clear a test of aim and linear strategy for RTS as CS is for FPS. It tests skill very well - CS is old but can you deny that it is an awesome test.
2b. Ok as a continuation, there has to also be non-linear games so you can throw in something like...pfff WC3:FT? I think WC3:FT is to SC:BW as UT2k3 is to HL:CS (get that?). And for the FPS genre, we do have UT2k3 and CS...
3. Try playing UMS maps (use map settings). They actually are a whole lot of fun. Though they won't be used in tourneys likely, have a look at the 'defense' line of maps, which exhibit some very cool uses of the engine.
So yea quit talkin' out your ass sayin' that the game is old. It is still very much active and popular which is why an SC2 would be a very popular game (blizzard developers, hint hint)
"At least fewer people will be killed inadvertently the next time a Columbine happens. The kids will have better aim."
What kind of jackass comment is that? The kids killed at Columbine *didn't have guns*.
"People" using "unnecessary" quotes should be "shot".
Unless you're talking about the two kids who *did* the killing (who had guns) having better aim, and hence, not killing folks they didn't mean to kill. Still a jackass comment.
"People" using "unnecessary" quotes should be "shot".
What happens when human-computer interfaces are refined to the point where hand-eye coordination and manual reflexes no longer have an effect on how well a person plays a game?
Will winning have any meaning then? This is rather like the illicit drugs issue in athletic sports, only taken to the nth degree since the limits imposed by muscle and bone would not apply.
What is the core of this competition, is the real question. That has to be determined if it's going to be an Olympic sport.
If the Olympics were going to implement a cyberathlete sport, but use original code instead of commercial games, what sort of game would be best for them to invent? What would its key features be? What skills would it measure?
Is it hand-eye coordination? Quickness of thought?
With improved H-C interface, would the highest IQs always win? Would an IQ test then suffice in place of the game for competition?
Try responding to this comment, but first correct the spelling error in the subject. Hit the "preview" button. Look at what Slashcode does to the subject, and you'll understand why the OP included the misspelling. I've seen other trolls put "5core:5, Interesting" to get around this "feature."
BTW, the original comment actually was modded up - it was at +1 Funny at one point. Looks like somebody's going to get nailed when this comes up in m2.
