And from a viewer's perspective, the puns they have as column titles have gotten worse and more inscrutable so it's very important in my opinion that they go in order so I can remember what pun-application my answer is supposed to have. Since you only tend to have five seconds to respond this stuff matters.

Course that applies to his competitors as well so it's obviously a good strategy.

    If you play Jeopardy just to win, you're doing it wrong.

Speak for yourself. From home I'm playing for fun -- if I ever got on the show I'd be attempting to build capital at the fastest rate possible.

I forgot about all the bad puns and word play on there now.

I'm not saying that winning shouldn't be a goal. It just shouldn't be the only goal. A viewers perspective no doubt. Arthur Chu sounds like the kind of dude that would battle in Street Fighter II by just huddling and blocking, waiting for that one window to attack. You're not really playing against him, you're playing against his strategy. But I guess if it works, then right on....

-Thanks for the laugh and the nostalgia. Great analogy.

flagamuffin, you weren't kidding about that "hubwheel" appearance. -Wow.

No one else commented on it! Over half the reason I shared the article.

Haha, yeah ... what a loser ... :(

I mean it was always Tekken but still.
