That's one hell of a scar. It's what you get when you suffer repetitive strain injuries to your muscles, deforming them and making surgery the only option to save your illustrious sports career.

What sports career, you may ask?

Why, playing Starcraft in South Korea, of course!

News highlights included below

It seemed like the confirmation I'd been expecting - that gaming in South Korea had reached a dangerous place, where professionals and amateurs alike were destroying their lives and their bodies. But Mr Kang sees it very differently. They're athletes, he argues, and injuries happen. One of his colleagues later suggested that if I'd been interviewing the world's most-decorated marathon champion, I wouldn't be surprised if they had damaged knees.

The professional gamers are overwhelmingly male, but their most-obsessive fans are female, lavishing the boys with the kind of attention otherwise reserved for the singing K-Pop stars, the country's other booming entertainment export.

At the top-end of gaming, the players are undeniably well looked after, healthy and happy - even if the gruelling routine means they clearly don't enjoy playing anymore. It's work.But for the non-professional, the impact heavy gaming is having on the health and social lives of young Koreans is of great concern to many.

South Korea has made numerous attempts to curb the amount of online gaming its young are playing. In 2011, it passed the Shutdown Law - dubbed the Cinderella Law - which prevented children aged 16 or below from playing online games between 10:30pm and 6:00am. The rules were later amended to allow parents to make their own choice about when gaming access should be curtailed in the home.

Therefore, turn-based gameplay, specially for strategy games, is not only more refined, but healthier.

Is there even a strategy video game worth playing competitively out there? As in, not filled with a thousand glitches and unbalanced cheesy tactics?

Plenty of glitches and cheese still in FAF. Great game though.

That was meant to be "turn based strategy video games", teaches me to post at 3 am... Realtime ones obviously do exist. But it seems like barely anyone even tries to design TB multiplayer games with complex rules. At best you get a MP mode in a predominantly SP game that is incredibly easy to break. Haven't ever played Dominions MP though, and heard good things about it.

Warlight is actually very good at a high level. It's based on risk but with a lot more to it. It uses a phase-based system. No cheese or glitches involved either.

Where do I turn music off? It's annoying.

Go to the single player tab, top right corner.

This totally needs that hat now.

I considered shooping it in, but then I realized I was lazy.

EDIT: It also needs buckteeth. We have an image to uphold.
