        \_ To understand why this actually sort of makes sense, you have
           to know the place Starcraft holds in Korea.  It is a very
           popular sport.  At least 2 channels show tournoments almost all
           day long.  The players hold the same position for people as
           popular sports figures.  It is a big deal. -jrleek

12/3    So my little sister is asking for an Xbox 360 for Christmas. I
        sked her if she meant the new Kinect controller one and she said
        no, just the regular controllers. What exactly is she asking for
        here? -not really a gaming geek anymore
        \_ She's asking for an Xbox 360. Is there anything complicated about
           that? Don't bother getting the Kinect, but ideally don't go cheapo

7/3     ARG 0 - 4 GER!  That's a huge spread.  What was wrong with Argentina?
        \_ You give a damn about soccer?  What's wrong with you?
           \_ Giving a damn about the World Cup != giving a damn about soccer.
              This has been an exciting, topsy-turvy tournament. Maradona must
              be tearing his (incredibly absurdly dyed) hair out.
        \- re: "what is wrong with ARG" ... against a good team you need

6/9     Synchronized Macarana-esque dance after first 2010 World Cup goal.

        Oh no, the same disease that has plagued football here at home is now
        spreading to soccer abroad.
        \- You may be too young to remember ROGER MILLA and the DANCE OF THE
           CORNER. Did you see BISHOP D.TUTU dancing? That was pretty funny.
