All of them are also appear to be from primarily English speaking countries. So they obviously did a very narrow search to find the best of the best excluding anybody that does not speak English.SharPhoe said:Exactly. Proof? Please note that all of them are somewhat attractive and (for the most part) in great shape. I'm not saying that that in itself is impossible, but for all of the US's so-called "best gamers" to be that good-looking lacks credibility.Internet Kraken said:So reality TV meets gaming?
Who came up with this? I bet these gamers aren't even the best of the best. Just the ones that are the most marketable.
Because they're crap actors, and believe me, despite being British I know what a decent American accent sounds like, that isn't a half-wit valley girl (we were coatched in American accents by the American director of a play I was recently in, so I kind of know what different accents there are in the US).AdamBomb said:My question now is this; if the lines are all scripted and they're clearly actig then why does every single person have to talk like a half-wit valley girl?
Hardcore: You know you're one when you don't have fun anymore.Trivun said:Why the hell do people care so much about competitive gaming to the point they put on tournaments like this? Games were originally designed as entertainment. That's exactly why I want to become a game developer, because along with cinema and theatre (my other passions) I enjoy creating entertainment. Games were not meant for such competitive play. It's one thing to 'pwn n00bs' on L4D and CoD4 and so on, and to play those in a competitive way. That's all well and good, as long as people realise that it's just a game and has no bearing on their real lives. Except for their friends laughing because they got killed by a Tank on Easy in No Mercy. But when people try and do such tournaments, then it gets out of hand. I have no problem with the concept of tournament gaming in general (if it's done for fun, for example my flatmates had a PES tournament a while back, although we never actually finished it). But to this extreme, it takes all the joy out of what is essentially a fun pastime and nothing more.

Good looking male gamers and female gamers DO NOT EXIST. Blasphemy!
Edit: Did that firehaired man-woman actually say "This is too hard!" and cry?
Your living in an all expenses payed house, never working and playing video games. NOTHING is hard about that.

In the small chance it isn't forgotten then they should at least use real gamers next time. And better games like: Super Mario Bros, Sonic The Hedgehog, Megaman, Pac Man, Pong, and of course Minesweeper.

That combined with Soyabon Action and these idiots (I don't dare call them gamers) would be dead before the season ends.SharPhoe said:Or I Wanna Be The Guy.
