Did Steve tell ya that?

Biologically, men have evolved to have better hand-eye coordination and motor skills, as it was required for hunting. Conversely, women have better organizational and communication skills (verbal and nonverbal), so it probably evens out for these kind of competitions, where all of the above are important.

That take is super hot, man.

I mostly know him from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He was awesome on that show.

Touche.

He may have moved, but he's still the easiest boss ever.

You should also try your best to create a strong connection to the material. Connect it with something personal to your life, or some ongoing situation, or an object in the room. Create acronyms, or make up a silly scene in your head and assign the things you need to remember to items in the scene. Memory retrieval is…

Like Straw Hat said, with RTS games, the competitive multiplayer crowd are the ongoing consumers that continue to create popularity around the games. Starcraft would have never become the phenomenon it did without the bustling multiplayer scene, so I can see why they'd put more of their focus there.

made that it's audio ques are that good

Racist and sexist incidents and physical violence are bad for the community. Good old fashioned trash talk hype before a big match does nothing but make the matches more popular, and give the crowd a clear favorite.

Yes it is, it creates stories and brings more viewers to the community. Lots of people wouldn't have ever seen this if this story hadn't been drummed up and posted on Kotaku. I don't know how I can really explain it further, seems pretty obvious. It's why there are heels in almost all major competitive sports.

That music was perfect.

No biggie! We could use some more patience on the internet, I think.

No biggie :) Should have been more clear.

Darth Vader in the Dark Ages?

Agreed, 100%. I don't mean to make Leffen out to be some kind of saint who happens to be a prodigious actor; he's a complete dickhead. But for the purposes of drumming up hype by being a heel, it doesn't matter if he is acting like a dickhead or he is a dickhead.

Sure, he can unintentionally be a heel just by acting like the asshole he is. So long as he's just running his mouth and not crossing the line into physical intimidation or violence, I still think he's doing a good job. Having villains like this is good for smash tournaments, as it makes the people who beat them look…

A) I was kidding, chill out.

Uh huh. I'm still leaning more towards trolling than cinematic masterpiece.

You seem misguided about who is spending their money on this game and ones like it. It's a very small percentage of players that contribute the vast majority of money (termed "whales"). Most people pay a small amount, which they would spend on a non free-to-play game, or nothing at all to play.
