Say what you want but that looks awful

Absolutely, my favourites are Wing, SEED, 08th MS Team and Zeta (which I've just started watching) is fast climbing the ranks.

As much as I'm a Gundam fan, having watched pretty all but Turn A, I have to say that Gundam is not exactly the greatest. I understand that whole thinking out of the box, and amazing and enjoying as it may be it's doesn't have a very very strong impact to be one of the greatest.

+1 on Gundam Wing (my first Gundam Show)

I'm a huge fan of the UC series mostly due to it's interesting storylines and "realism".

Neon Genesis Evangelion

since i'm not leaving the gray i'll just dump it here

I will either feel very angry or very happy if this starts a meme.

Maybe take it a step further with this!

Actually, I do respect your desire for a rigid definition here. (I know I get sarcastic sometimes.)

I also think it's important to be clear-eyed about the implications whenever we expand the traditional definitions of words to cover what they did not used to cover. In this case, and I think you'll agree with me here,…

It appears I may have misread your original statement. Carry on. Butthurt racer mode disengaged.

You're absolutely right, but the problem is the majority of people are ignorant to that aspect and hence why it won't be accepted as a traditional sport until either that majority learns, or gamers become a bigger part of that majority. The latter is what's more likely to happen in my opinion.

You can one use that with Oxford saying that it is physical exertion OR skill, which is something I believe to be closer to the truth. Otherwise, how could curling be a sport?

I guess it's a preorder sale!

So, Metal Gear... When did that happen?!

Woah! I was just at Steam's site three minutes ago and expressed disappointment that the day must have been off, and now, IT'S ON!

I'm having so much fun with my Vita and Persona 4 though. It's a truly amazing handheld system. I hope it perseveres and Sony puts down some dough to secure a few powerful exclusives for it.

Zero Punctuation with Ben Croshaw aka Yahtzee is as valid an option as any other Youtube video game reviewers that you have mentioned as far as I am concerned. Only Yahtzee is actually funny which puts him ahead of them (imho).
