My mum and I would play through that game on a daily basis. I'd get home from half-day kinder, my bro would go down for his nap, and we'd trounce 3 in a few hours. Best childhood memories ever.

This makes me think of this:

I'm unsure why the vague label of sport creates such argument. "This is a sport, this isn't a sport" does it really matter? It was a thing, that was broadcast, that people enjoyed watching.
And, I would say DOTA occurred first in this case because it was a rather large event, with a significant prize pool, and a large professional scene lending it credibility.

Geez, that's really rough. So much cancer and cancer related diseases floating around these days. Best of luck to you and yours!

Ok, so I took five minutes to google, and discovered that the US doesn't require employers grant any vacation time or even holidays. That's really messed up. Up here you generally are required 2 weeks I'm pretty sure (or you can have it paid out if you're part time, or some other situations). Where I work, the unions negotiated a minimum 3 weeks paid vacation a year. And if an employer requires you work any of the major holidays, you get a nice sum of cash paid out on top of your normal pay (either 1.5x or 2.0x normal wage).
My new happy for the day is that I don't live in the US.

My vacation is coming up in 4 more days! I really need this 2 weeks off, my brain is mushifying from work.

Did you accidentally fall asleep in a military barracks? And wake up in the midst of boot-camp? You should probably double check.
