Absolutely, there's the on going debate that e-sports shouldn't be called a sport and the players shouldn't be called athletes etc. 

I think e-sports is tolerable because it's not as if physical attributes like dexterity and reflexes aren't used. Athlete is a bit of a stretch though - maybe "competitor".

[TiTAN]

Athlete is a step too far.

Quietly confident that E-sports will one day be bigger than the NBA

That doesn't make it any less sad

As if playing computer games as a grown adult isn't enough.. you've got to watch other people doing it

[TiTAN]

By their mid 20s the players are retiring as their reflexes aren't as good as the teenagers. So you aren't likely to find grown men playing them competitively.

No different to watching AFL / NBA - you watch cos' they're the best in the world 

And yes e-sports fill stadiums too

It's just like watching any sports. Some moments are exciting, but appreciation comes from knowing the skills involved.

Saw Baby Driver last night. It's good. Worth seeing.

You like a mainstream film?

Shaun of the dead was mainstream. And it was damn good.

Baby Driver marketing hit full speed this week out of nowhere. Good reviews and solid US box office means they go all out when it hits aus 3 weeks late

I saw it on Saturday at a preview screening. It's kind of like an action musical. Car chases and shoot-outs to music and the action is all timed to the songs and even has references to what's happening.

you don't have to tell me twice

[TiTAN]

I definitely have to do that.

[Birds]

This strikes me as something Leroy would do

[UNR33L]

Wait - Leeroy ISN'T behind the wheel of that thing? 

Saw Baby Driver on the weekend too, can confirm good movie. I'll tell you once.

[Leroy Peterson]

Lol that's my mates car.

 

Don't underestimate it.

 

Also bought a navy suit. Nothing needed altering, even found a shirt that matched and fit 100%. Was super impressed. Went with a dark navy. Now need to find a set of chocolate brown shoes.

What part am I supposed to avoid underestimating?

[UNR33L]

Your mate has nice exhaust tips. 

[Leroy Peterson]

just the entire car build.

Full stereo, everything converted to LED, full custom Raspberry Pi/Android touch screen + navigation, full boot install with airbags, headrest monitors, rear tables. Those exhaust tips were from Nick's collection.
