Yeah. looks like he's having a lot of fun /sarcasm. Doesn't this level of intensity and time invested kind of defeat the point of gaming as entertainment/escapism/stress relief? I mean, sure, maybe this is the kind of way he LIKES to play, but... I dunno... seems moronic to me.


He's arguably a professional athlete. Would you give the same criticism to Michael Jordan during one of his workouts? What about a chess grandmaster?

I hate that the English language doesn't have a better term for "Interactive digital experience" other than "game". It seriously holds back the field of computing. Any visual world or system that you interact with has to be a "game", it can't be serious or educational.
