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."

    This is not just watching "some people play EVE." These are quick, 5-on-5, tournament style battles between alliances

    So... It's "watching 10 people play EVE."

    Wow. That sounds way better. It would be exactly like being the 11th person to show up at a 10-computer LAN party, only you can't talk to the players while you watch them, none of them know you, and the only fridge to raid is your own.

    Information wants to be anthropomorphized.

    Most of my grandparents are dead, and the living ones hate golf. DAMN YOU FOR BEING SO INSENSITIVE! lol. Anyway, fuck golf watching.
