Cyberathlete Professional League

May 25, 2002

It's exactly what it sounds like: Professional videogame playing. I've discussed this before but I thought this tidbit is more substantial than usual.

Wired reports that the CPL is set to receive $45 million from private donors, most notably Intel. The money will go to raise the stakes in competition and help promotion. One of the big ventures is airing the competitions on ESPN. Personally, I am very excited by this idea.

Also, E3 just finished up and there are a lot of great games coming up for Nintendo. Zelda, Mario and Metroid are all coming back this year. It's gonna be great.

Time to turn down the nerd and go back and hang with my fam.
