In case you were unaware, the fourth annual World Cyber Games are deep underway. With only
three days of competition to go, the competitors are really pushing their limits, er, buttons. This is not
just a kill-or-be-killed, high score affair, hardly. The athletes (if we may call them that) must prove that they are
capable of mastering such skills as advanced strategizing, adaptation, quick reflexes, & hand-eye coordination.
Winners not only own the bragging rights to games like Counter-Strike, Halo, & Starcraft, but also walk away with
roughly $400,000 in cash prizes. No joke. You may even end up with your own television show in Korea, earning $500,000
a year, a mob of half-crazed fans, and uzi-toting bodyguards. And you thought all you had to worry about was carpal
tunnel syndrome…
