In 5 years time maybe less, you wont tell the difference between a movie and a game.

A geek who earns far more money than you doing what he loves.

Where do I sign up?

If you find a sign up sheet, put my name down

sheesh what a tool 1 vs. 1 in first person games sucks balls, what you need is a proper war, like 20 vs 20 or something, on another note i beat michael schumachers lap record in monaco GP on F1 championship (PS3) thats his real record by the way

that made me chuckle.

Try beating his real lap time, in a real car.

Seriously doubt that. The CGI and special effects in the movies themselves still look fake (look at King Kong or such) so I doubt games will even jump that far. The very same special effects I've just mentioned require several computers and hours upon hours to render. They've only just started getting the hang of ray-tracing without using intensive resources, and games are STILL cutting corners like using bump/parallax maps to emulate detailed indents and bumps, instead of actual polygons. Stuff like that.

They said the exact same thing 5 years ago.

"FPS Doug" is a complete ****** made up in yet another effort to scam money out of the gullible and often retarded gaming community. As expected its worked quite well.

I don't like the guy, but at least Wendel has some skill.

I laugh at FPS Doug, that's what you're supposed to do. Personally, i prefer k1ngp1n. I think it's mainly because of the NV Series 3DM World record breaker video on YouTube with the big ass nitrogen truck on standby

NV Sponsor him for things like that. But still, although the Fatal1ty series hardware are awesome, the man himself doesn't seem as popular.

Can I get some linkage?

I really hope you're not serious.

As for gaming becoming considered a "sport", I'm not sure about this one. Sport, imo, should be something that involves physical exercise... yet being sat on yer bum driving a car around a circuit is considered a motorsport, so I guess being sat on yer bum with headphones on whilst shouting into a mic and playing a FPS could be renamed as gaming-sport.

Even if it's not classified as a sport, I can imagine this becoming popular to watch on TV. Who would have imagined, 5 or 10 years ago, that people would be prepared to watch people play poker...? Yet today there are dedicated poker channels on satellite, and it's really, really taken off over the past 2 or 3 years. At least gaming is more interesting to watch than Devilfish playing cards against some internet noob poker player. There's a helluva lot of people that play video games these days... 100 million Playstation owners, even more PC owners, this is potentially a massive audience waiting to be tapped-in to.

competitive gaming in my opinion died four years ago, its well past its peak, people just play for fun now.

Games will never be classed as a sport, such a shame tho, as the scene was looking promising back in the Quake 3 \ UT days
