15 Ridiculous Rivalries That Prove Gamers Have No Life. Top Story - December 2017.
Since the dawn of time, rivalries have existed and not only between good and evil. Sometimes a rivalry can be a trivial, unnecessary thing like the attention of a parent to siblings or coworkers vying for the opportunity to get a promotion to a much harder job for little compensation.
