Caveat: I'm not a sports fan.
So many people were streaming the games today at work, the web was unusable. If the damned game is that important, take a half day of vacation and go watch it at home or in your favorite bar. Leave the bandwidth available for those of us who have a job to do.

Cool.
Future kids cannot possibly differentiate between 'real reality' and 'unreal reality' 
Because, both are mixed up within the same scene.

Awesome!
Now if the game with a feature that you could create your opponent, I've got a list of people I'd love to kill...over and over and over...

So its primary selling point is entertainment, of course.
Did you know that there are people (LOTS of people) who are actually proud of being 90-hour-per-week gamers or couch potatoes?
Where's the human race going?
Down which drain in particular?

We're on this planet for a very limited number of years.
If you find something you enjoy doing, can do without harming anyone else, and your net cost to society is >= 0 then why not?
No point in living your life not doing what you would like to do, effectively suffering, otherwise?
If I wanted to work hard for a few years in order to take the rest f my life to enjoy what I like to enjoy, who are you to tell me that's wrong?
Is it better that people are proud of spending large sums of money on fine wines, taking extravagantly long holidays, or taking photographs of their food?
Is time spent sitting by a solitary light reading a novel better spent than sitting in front of a computer using learned skills to win games?

I was being satirical, to counter all the "OH WOW!" reactions something like that gets.
My own philosophy is somewhat more advanced than the kind of platitude than one expects politicians to spout -- that I satirise it does not mean that I believe in it (mind you, neither do the politicians who spout guff like that, so my rendition is even more accurate than one would notice on first sight).

Countless teratomatic abominations like "Magic Leap" will swarm like plagues of poisonous toads in these eschaton last days of Kali Yuga preceding the epiphanic manifestation of PooperPig who will prepare the way for Vishnu to incarnate as Kalki and scourge the third-rock-from-the-sun of this two-legged walk upright vermin who dare to anoint themselves as "Sapiens" while destroying countless other species, and wrecking the planet.
So: "Party on, dudes."
cheers, Bill

I read it once, read it twice, then read again - yes I read it thrice.
I still don't understand!
I'm in one of my moods?
What does it mean, "Party on, dudes"?

The human race is one solar flare away from migration from "totally self-absorbed, but utterly unimportant to anyone more than 100,000 miles away" to "formerly totally self-absorbed, and still utterly unimportant to anyone more than 100,000 miles away".
Even "mostly harmless" is more information than the rest of the universe wants to hear about us.

It messed up this old fool.
(We hadn't had a reference that the kiddies wouldn't get, for a few hours, so I thought I'd best throw one in.)

I didn't really know him until recently (although I loved his music).
Then I got one of his soundtracks not so long ago.
And then I saw this compilation[^].
I grew up with this guy. He's my hero of childhood songs. And his songs and music are actually really good too!

Not bad at all, Barenboim playing Schumann. I'm not very familiar with Schumann myself.
I know Barenboim from the movie Hilary and Jackie[^] about cellist Jacqueline du Pré, who was married to Barenboim. I actually bought a triple best of CD of Jacqueline after seeing that movie. She plays Schumann, Haydn, Elgar, Dvorak and others. Worth a watch and worth a listen

I beg to differ[^]. 
Will Rogers never met me.

Brandenburg Concertos, Toccata and Minuet (which is played by mushrooms in the 'Sprookjesbos' (fairytalewood) in the Efteling[^])
Yes, Bach has some great songs, but he's not my favourite
