I met a Canadian stripper in Vienna once who said she liked to perform with your show playing. Just saying, your reach is farther than you think. :-) my question is, how does this make you feel, and what other strange stories have you heard about people listening to your show?

I should've mentioned she wasn't stripping at the time. :D We were sitting at the bar in the hostel my wife and I were staying at. All I know is that she is from Toronto. (Again, this is what a stripper was telling a guy at a bar...so she's probably Australian, getting her PhD in material science, and was faking a Canadian accent).

First question - I'm involved with Colorado State University's e-sports club. My brother started the Arizona State League of Legends club, oh, probably 4-5 years ago at this point, with my guidance. That being said, I haven't focused too much on universities, not because I don't want to but because I'm simply maxed out right now teaching full time/doing my dissertation/running my own club/being a husband. I'd love to get in touch with more universities though! I'm just not sure how to do that.

2nd question - Regulation of their emotions, yes yes yes. We talk all the time about doing this in the club. It's actually not as hard as you might imagine. Once the culture is set in the club that we don't allow people to be mean to each other, it usually polices itself. If a student is a jerk, their peers will come down on them without my intervention usually. If they want to be back in the club, they'll have to change their ways. I give a speech during each meeting talking about controlling your own behavior, and being accountable to yourself. Also, I think playing a game with someone right next to you is significantly different than playing against someone online. The anonymity of it online brings out the worst in people. When you're right next to the person, it is actually much more natural to be nice. :-)

One of the most surprising things I've found with the 200+ guardians I've talked to is that zero of them are worried about their kids being in the clubs. That probably has a bit to do with selection bias, but when you've got zero in all those interactions, it starts to become significant. :-) My only stories are of incredible gratitude from the parents.

edit: switched of and are around...not sure why I typed it out that way originally. :-P

It's really important to scramble the eggs while they're on heat, not before you add them to the pan. Too many people make this mistake.
