Some sports are dramatically underrepresented in gaming! Curling, for example, or hobby horsing, or the so-called Atherstone Ball Game, in which a small English town barricades all the shops so that the drunken residents can chase a ball for two hours without destroying anything. Fortunately, murder is expressly forbidden in the rules.

Be that as it may, he has still been loyal to fighting games since Street Fighter 2 in the early 90s and only bought an arcade stick to get to know a whole new world of fighting games. He has been playing boxing simulations very intensively since UFC 3 at the latest – he misses the Hadoken there too.
