There was a story on some of the Oakland A's players, 5 of whom rent a house together. ...the central feature of the house is a pair of side-by-side big-screen TVs, both hooked up to video-game consoles and surrounded by four couches and a recliner. That's pretty much it in terms of decor. "The best piece of furniture in the place is the recliner, and it came free with one of the TVs," Venafro said. "The only attention to detail is how the games are organized and how the remotes are stacked." So the teammate-roomates spend a lot of time playing their favorite game, Halo, which they can all participate in at once. "It gets intense, it gets all hot - we've got to turn the air up," Mulder said. "We're all on the edge of our seats and jumping up and down." Mulder professes not to be much of a video-game buff apart from Halo, but he takes that pretty seriously. "He gets into it," Ellis said. "When I'm on Mulder's team, he yells at me. I get nervous." This was below a pic of the 5 players, holding xbox controllers... you can't see the screen though.
