    Problem is, they were probably told they were not allowed to touch them.

    Cause, then, they're not really strippers - are they?

    I don't know what they would expect these gamers to do. Did the host pay for these women to dance around without their shirts on or did they pay them with the expectation that if so inclined, someone could take them to their hotel room?

    I guess I kind of don't see the point. Other than to post on the internet about how 'lol, gamers don't want women'.

    @tf_soldier: The funny thing is the place that hosted it probably thought "Hey! I know what would be fun! Strippers!" and got them to show up for the event, when in actuality, it was a pretty serious match between two bitter rivals for the title of ultimate clan... This was serious shit, and nobody there to participate in the CS match wanted or cared about them at all. #nsfw

    I know strippers have feelings too but honestly? Not interested in the whole niche undersexed gamer misogony demogrphic card getting pulled here, but then again I would've been creeped and grossed out having one grind up on me as well. So I guess the point of distraction would've still sufficed. :) #nsfw

    Odds are money is on the line and if you win you can get much better strippers or heaven forbid REAL WOMEN that don't have to take off all their clothes and actually deserve your attention and respect. #nsfw

    Well, the problem is they're not dedicated strippers. You have lag and poor response time unless you set one up. #nsfw

    Where's the Picard facepalm? I mean honestly, strippers are just boring unless they're offering some kind of happy ending. I can get the same effect for free by using Google. #nsfw

    Y'know, if i go to a tournament, I'm in the mood for a tournament. I don't go hoping that I'm gonna meet some chicks or see some boobies. So it's not a matter of what is more important, it's more of a matter of what I'm in the mood for.

    I don't bring a DS or PSP to the strip club, so I can't really say that this is a legitimate social analysis of the gamer mentality.

    I can see it being an opportunity for non gamers to go "Wow look at those fuckin nerds! No wonder all of them are virgins!" People love their stereotypes.

    P.S. - Never been to a strip club or a tournament.

    @Sobersean: CRT's are still the best for contrast ratio, color range and response time. Not to mention they handle various resolutions without a problem.

    The only thing Plasma's/LCD's have over it is a PERFECTLY square image. But it's good enough on a CRT, the other stuff is more important, especially for gaming, where you need the best contrast ratio possible to discern objects in a game. #nsfw

    The quote in the article is quite ridiculous. "it was impossible to put an attention of those hopeless men off." (emphasis mine)
    Seriously? I wouldn't say "Hopeless" necessarily - I think it would be incredibly awkward if someone who's obviously been paid were stripping off in front of you. I'd stay with the monitor just through sheer embarrassment myself. #nsfw
