Maybe some of you have seen this, but today was the first I knew of this type of competition. Looks like a lot of fun actually. (I tired to embed, but it isn't working).

Any one ever participate in any type of greasy nerd sports before?? If so, explain!

i don't know what building pc's have to do with sports. the real sport of geeks (and everyone) is starcraft, no doubt about that.

i wonder though if they made sure the comps ran

umm i payed warhammer. its not that geeky. starcraft is the sport of geeks, and its an auctual esport so it makes sense

otherwise you should be proud of being a geek and a nerd. i don't think anyone in tl can deny that they are a nerd.

nerd pride ftw

Sport or not, that is an awesome competition. I would do that if I had the chance. Looks like loads of fun!

4 minutes is pretty incredible, although I think if you had a flawless build order memorized you could get it even lower with enough apm.

The article is called, The Sport of Geeks... and ofc course the computers ran, the task was to connect them to the internet - did you even read the article or watch the video before posting?

well not really in detail. i mainly glanced over it. though really i still don't know how pc building is a sport. its more of a tradeskill tbh.

Edit: yes there was a video, but i didn't watch the video, i simply commentated on the article. the competition was about pc building, and it being called the sport of geeks. that was what i commentated on.

If you would have even glanced over it, you would know because its a video. You just trolled so you are banned.
