DonkeyKongerko Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I'm sure many of you have seen the SC special segments on video gaming. One of the best video gamers in the world, Jonathan "Fatality" Wendel, compared being a professional video gamer to being a NASCAR driver. You become an expert at using a machine/tool and use your skills and that tool against others. That is to say having a faster computer would theoretically allow one gamer to beat another gamer of equal skill. The same goes for race car driving. If NASCAR is a sport, you have to call professional video gaming a sport too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no "pause" button in the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
