Here’s a title we want: “World’s Best Casual Gamer”. Unfortunately, it’s already taken by 21-year-old Kavitha Yalavarthi, an “aspiring lawyer.” And, more surprisingly, a woman. Yalavarthi won $1 million, beating all comers in three “casual” games “Solitaire,” “Bejeweled 2” and “Zuma.” We’re thinking “casual” could be replaced by “office time-killer” or “the games those killjoys in IS take off our laptop.” Via Reuters
