not to get into this fight again..

but can we call it something other than e"sports"?

how about competitive gaming? Sports require, well, athleticism. Video games do not.

Metal Gear Solid 2 was, and probably always will be, one of my favorite games of all time. I could play it over and over and never be bored. My sincerest thanks to everyone involved in bringing these games to the US shores. I was 13 when MGS2 hit, and perhaps a little too young to catch all the plot points and the meaning - but I tell you, nothing beats the experience I had picking up that game at Funcoland and playing through it over and over.

What I REALLY what to know though, is what was cut out of the game due to September 11. From what I remember reading, they took out Arsenal crashing into NYC and some of the end Tanker wreckage, but I wonder if we'll ever get to see a full uncut version?

Are you kidding me? thats "game breaking?" The game crashes on day 1 due to a bug. Big deal. This game is huge. Things like this are bound to happen. You are now aware of the issue, Blizzard is aware of the issue, and a fix is on the way. Talk about a spoiled culture.

Who cares?

I can distinctly remember telling my mom that I joined a TFC "clan." She thought I joined THE clan.

All these kids that grew up playing Call of Duty.. I grew up with Team Fortress Classic, CS, HL DM, and Day of Defeat.. and nothing will ever beat it.
