Daigo's Gameroom

Post by Ex_Mosquito »

Here's an interesting article on Daigo Umehara, the world fighting game champ. Pretty crazy that he has a dedicated appartment to practice in and to resist temptation of having a cab at home. Seems like a pain in the ****. Interesting that he uses a CRT, to cut down on input lag of assume.

Interesting factoid: Daigo doesn't have a game console at his house. The reason? Because he'd end up playing it all the time, which isn't healthy. "When I turned pro," Daigo says, "I ended up not having a game console at home."
Even the world fighting game chapion is an addict.
