Why not? At least you have something more to look at than people and balls with videogames :P I find it hard to grasp that people will sit for hours and watch balls getting thrown around a large rectangle of grass or cement, and yet they will.

Now, when I hear something THAT nerdy ("Hey, let's go play Magic cards!" "LARP, anyone?") I usually get this sinking feeling and try to go do something cool. But I gave it a shot... An hour later, I was hooked. It was, bar none, the greatest competitive game I have ever watched. I've watched hockey, football, F1, rugby, and CS blew them all out of the water. It went into triple overtime! But there was one thing that really impressed me: the commentary. It was incredible. Put every other commentator I've heard to shame. My point is, don't knock it till you've tried it! About a month ago a friend of mine was watching a Counter Strike finals game on fragTv, and said I should watch too.
