Peter: I never knew the school had an e-football team. Morton: We're new. Along with e-basketball team, the e-basketball team, the cyber golf team... It's the 21st century. Let's face it- a purely analog sports department is a relic of the past. Boy: Our training facility is just up ahead. Peter: Nice marble pillars. Morton: The venture capital club was very good to us.

Yeah, there’s the future of sports: Kids sitting on their duffs or lying on their beds, playing with their ipads, ipods, blackberries, whatever, and weighing 500 pounds, and barely able to get up to snarf down more junkfood.

Where’s Jason and Marcus in all of this?

@skeeterhawkExcept that e-sports is a well established and growing market. And most of the athletes in it are not overweight by any means. e-sports isn’t just some walk in the park, they train and train hard to be good at what they do.

In my stay in college there was a prominent Retro Gaming Club. We got together every other Saturday night and played stuff like Mario, Sonic, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, NBA Jam, Ninja Turtles, and stuff you wouldn’t think of like Astynax and Legend of Kage (pronounced Kah-gay, not Cage-like the Hokage in Naruto).

Nope. the “e” sound in Japanese is a soft “ay”. The “ee” sound is made by “i”.
So for it to be ho-ka-gee, it would have to be spelled Hokagi.
