  • The International e-Sports Federation tried to segregate their competitions by gender until they realized that was not a good idea.
  • We talk with Keith Brownlow of Monster Arcades about virtual pinball tables - what they're made of and how they work.

Yes, I finally get the recognition I deserve. Now everyone knows who listens live, and on the podcast, I'm the Sith Lord of VOG, and won more leaderboards than TigerClaw!

I also waned to put a quick PSA out there, Bing Rewards. Ditch google as your search engine and get rewarded. The interesting thing about this is they have Xbox Live rewards. Only available to you bloody yanks, though - you lucky so and so's.

As with all these things, in no way am I affiliated with Microsoft, or Bing, and I don't know how much privacy you would have to give up.

Lastly, to Bobby's CEO - he's a very good man.

People get the ideas of sports and competition mixed up all the time. Sports is closer to the definition given on the show. It has to involve physical exertion, real cardio, not sitting in a chair clicking buttons, no matter how much hand-eye coordination is involved. Video games, chess, bowling, pool, and even golf in my opinion are not sports but skills. Yes you can compete in events that utilize those skills, but they are not sports. Is Jeopardy a sport because you press a button more quickly than your opponent or Wheel of Fortune because you have to spin the wheel? E-sports is just a marketing term, but like similar events it is a skills competition and not an athletic sporting event.
