    I really like this idea. I think if ESPN had taken to broadcasting internet gaming competitions instead of Texas hold em, they would have achieved a similar level of burst in popularity seemingly out of no where. I mean really, spectating poker? I never would have guessed that'd be successful.

    I know of at least 3 friends that watch the Texas Hold'em shows... Doesn't really help them. I usually beat them. :D

    Just to clarify, i wasn't tyring to crap on Texas Hold'em broadcasts. I find it very easy to watch frankly, was just surprised it's successful is all.

    You know, bindle brings up a damn good point. But I feel like if video games had burst in popularity like that at the time, they probably wouldn't have been able to make a slow growth as an art medium - instead being relegated to 'entertainment only' purposes to make a quick buck. We would have lost the soul, man! :P

    By the way - In the Texas Hold'em games, you always feel like you're watching a pro, due to the nature of the game. What if you were watching a Texas Hold'em match with someone who was a blatant idiot, but accepted as a pro? I think I'd get bored.

    That is, can you imagine how painful it'd be to watch gamers who are WORSE than you on xfire? It'd just make you cranky!

    Also HOLY WORLD OF WARCRAFT.
