International day of video games

Put your wife in the basement and lock the doors... Today it's game time until the doctor comes. At least in the area around Europe. The US will celebrate it on 12th Sep. So, on that special occasion here some unnecessary knowledge: 

- The Japanese Toshiyuki Takahashi pressed a key 16 times within one second! Pretty hard shooter.

- 18.000.000 US-Dollar: so far the highest prize money of an Esport tournament (Dota 2)
At the first championship in 2011, the prize money was only 1,6 Mio.

Happy International Day of Video Games

However, I don't think one day of constant playing is enough for you to need the help of doctors (tested by Dudeck). I'd say the locked-in-the-basement-wife would need medical treatment before the husband-player.

edit. I just noticed, why isn't my flag white and red? Pioet above me has proper white in his Swiss flag, while I have some undefined pretender sad

It won't name my color though? I once had a quarrel with some guys about one color, I said it was orange while they claimed brown. We never found anything that would tell us which one it was smile

Some people dress up as Mario or Luigi and
arrange races like in Mario Cart or Frankenstein.

Or just put a bag over your head
and celebrate it like this...

Its up to you smile

Maybe its more about the quality than quantity. You might have seen it, but as example, at this stage it could be late already for the doctor...
