Wow. Thanks for that. :eek:rly:

Anyway, you judge 4million people based on your few interactions? I don't mean to agree with Cajun's assesement but you're almost hitting that point.

Shocking news: Chaz makes a post to get a rise out of people in a WoW thread.

Film at 11.

I was only alluding to something someone else said earlier... I'm not racist. :(

Post right before my sports comparison. I just followed up with a simple example on how a normal person can pick up verbs like 'skating' and 'shooting' over 'nerfed', 'kite', 'aggroed'.
ahh... but we are talking about generation gap tho...

The X generation is pretty much where the videogame was born (from the first PacMan and Mario Brothers) the Gen Y pick up the terms WAY faster and easily.

Sports has been around for a long time. I am trying to think of an official sport that is newly created but I can't think of any (at least around the same time when video game was invented)

until recently... I didn't what a "check" was in hockey until I watch a movie about hockey (Mystery Alaska) but never watch an actual game cause it never interest me. I didn't know what a "strike" is in Baseball until I saw in the movies, but I do know what a strike is in bowling since I bowl (well use to got my own ball and shoes and use to be in a league) some of the sports term I learn are from movies and the media. Videogames are now mainstream. So I say in another 20 years or so (probably less) a lot of these terms would be common.

A lot of people in my crowd would know more about kiting and fragging vs pinch hitter (which I have no idea what it is without googling) and a short stop.

Edit: since I was a WoW player I guess I'm one of those (can't be a kid since I start playing at 35 I guess)
Shego doesn't seem to fit and Ed plays so where do they stand?

Not taking sides on this, but Shego, didn't you just prove his point concerning how common place sports terms are compared to WoW terms in every day conversation?

"A swing and a miss. Don't worry folks, he's still go two to go!"
Rather than...
"A try and a wipe! Don't worry folks, he's still got 15 minutes left on the Strat 45!"
?

No, but you were pointing out to Chaz that he was beginning to sound like he thought I was. Which I wasn't agreeing with exactly since he was simply talking about the people he had been in contact with and not everyone as a whole. Then his next post almost sounded like it was.

But I agree with him that sports teams are more common place. :Leyla:

I'm just saying I'd be more insulted someone told me that I had more in common with "them" than less.

O, ok. That's true, they're not the same. I've just seen bigorty come out of that kind of thinking: a few people in a group acted a certain way. I bet all/most of them act that way too." I'm not saying he necessarily feels that way.

Sport:

1. Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.
2. A particular form of this activity.
3. An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.
4. An active pastime; recreation.
By your definition, Chess wouldn't be considered a sport ether... and yet it's recognized as one by the International Olympic Committee. It's not contested in the Olympics (mainly because it already has an event for that) but it could be, if there were enough interest.

Gaming, as a whole, is definitely a sport. It takes skill to do a lot of the things that happen at it's upper echelons... but it will never be a sport in the way that Baseball or Soccer is because the form in which you practice the sport changes ever 2-3 years. When a new version of a fighting game or strategy game is being released every few years and everyone playing it has to relearn how to, it's hard to get the kind of following you'd need to make a "World Series" happen.

It's only because of their history that they have anything in the lexicon. Give it a few years for common terms to trickle down. And remember, it was spectating announcers who gave us these common terms.

Well, Leeroy Jenkins was on Jeopardy!.

Just because you're bored doesn't mean you need to shit on every WoW thread that pops up.

Ahh. Thank you. :)
I...can't...tell...if this is sarcasm... :waah:
It is sarcasm Chaz.

See, I'm not against sports at all. I'd love to play something. However, there's a drastic difference (to me) of meeting people to play a sport with (soccer, basketball, and hockey are my general favorites that I'd like to play) then there is in playing a video game. I'm not exactly out of shape and I would love the exercise. It's just easier to sit down at a computer then it is to cart 2 kids (a 1 year old and a 6 year old) around trying to find people to play with. We have a tennis court in our complex, but aside from there not really being anyone to play with, I have a depth perception issue (my only real physical fault) since I'm half blind in 1 eye.

I just have no interest in watching professional sports, but that doesn't mean I'm exactly ignorant of how they work either.

I just came in to put some butthurt into ScytheRexx's Blizzard humping when he was arguing against Shannow's accurate assessment, that just because some data miners found a bit of crap in WoW doesn't automatically deduce that it's evidence for new player races.

Thing is though, you're wrong. It is, he's right.

No, I attack the poster not the topic. The best way to shut me up is for you to shut the fuck up first.

I've got to admit. I was doubtful at first until he went down the line of events. What made me more of a believer was that he pointed out the female worgen model. If it was just a new male model, fine, but with the addition of the female skin, it's a bit more believeable that maybe, just maybe, it could be a player race.

Also that MMO-Champion and a few other major sites have nothing on it. They're not ones to let something like this slide. They always cover the new skins found in a patch and go into theory about them. Since they have nothing about this, it means either a) they're slow (not likely) or b) they've been told to pull it (which would only happen if it was leaking true information / theory).

As much as I may like/not like WoW because I don't play it anymore. I couldn't really argue against that at the moment.
