Gamer Streams Pay-Per-View UFC Fight By Pretending To Play It (theverge.com)

WheezyJoe writes: A pay-per-view UFC Match was streamed in its entirety on Twitch and other platforms by a gamer pretending he was "playing" the fight as a game. The gamer, AJ Lester, appearing in the corner of the image holding his game controller, made off like he was controlling the action of the "game" when in fact he was re-broadcasting the fight for free. A tweet showing Lester's antics went viral with over 63,000 retweets and 140,000 likes at the time of publication. Another clip shows him reacting wildly yelling "oooooooooooooooh!!!" and "damnnnnnn!" in response to the match.

Would you watch a stream of programmers typing on their keyboards? No, because it's pointless.

Humans watch other humans playing sports because they're too fucking lazy to play sports themselves.

Oh, "for the teams", you say? That's tribalism, meaning you have the same brain processes as cavemen.

You can always tell someone is too young to remember the Konami code when they get it wrong like that.

BTW, it's up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A.
