Seems like good fun - don't understand why people don't get a bit of sarcasm though. Seems like everything needs to be dumbed down and written point by point for people to understand that it's fun

oooooh I can't wait! It's almost time!
I feel like I should be cheering for Snowster because he's a close personal friend and teammate - but fuck that I'm putting my life savings on Dabu. I've known him on and off as the guy fixes the air conditioner at my work when it breaks down every summer, and also as the creepy dude that hits on chicks half his age on GameFAQs.

There must be a lot of money in professional Super Mario players then.

Hope everybody is excited! It's going to be a great competition. My favorite part will be at the end of the night when I emerge at the 2011 Mario World Champion.
