StarCraft: The Catalyst of the Pro-Gaming Revolution
I originally wrote this way back in November of 2007. This article aimed to take an in-depth look at StarCraft and the fundamental role it played in creating an international, billion dollar pro-gaming industry. It's a bit of a read, but if you are interested in the Pro-Gaming phenomenon you might just enjoy it. Also, you don't already need to know anything about Starcraft, though, by the end, you will know far more than most.
Watching Games – Video Gaming as a Spectator Sport
As video gaming continues to gain ground, working towards the forefront of our entertainment media, the way in which we consume and experience gaming has also evolved. With ever increasing popularity, not to mention social acceptance, the boundless player swarm drives the gaming industry, beyond the meager human computer interaction of yesterday, to our destination: a complete social experience. Though the effects of this transition have been numerous, the phenomenon of possibly greatest acceleration in recent years has been that of watching video games.
