EVETV - Sport For Nerds

Your grandparents will be watching golf tonight, so why not watch some sports of your own? If golf isn't your thing, then perhaps multi-ton space vessels slamming each other with lasers and missiles might be more entertaining? Virgin Worlds is carrying some details for the riveting EveTV. Today, the channel is in reruns, but tune in anyway to see some matches from the last few days. Footage from ongoing PVP matches in the space MMOG EVE Online will make your Sunday go by much quicker. From the article: "The commentary is just like a traditional sports cast and the fellows calling the matches seem quite knowledgeable not only on the technicals of play, but also the backgrounds of the competitors. If you have an opportunity to check it out, I recommend it. Kudos to CCP for organizing this event."

    That's presuming a bit much.

    I don't watch sports because I don't like sports, not because there are none I like. If I was going to watch something, I'd watch football (soccer to you), not some people playing Eve.

    If I wanted to do that, I'd go to a net cafe and stand over people's shoulders.

      Wow, that added nothing to the conversation....just because you don't like something doesn't mean the rest of us don't.

      In other words, it would be almost exactly like professional sports today. Steriod testing is currently a joke.

    Seriously, when has that ever been fun?
