your kidding me right,
guy:hey there
girl:hey
guy:whats your name
girl:(random name) whats your name
guy(random name)
girl:so what do you do
guy:i make 250,000+ dollars playing halo 2 profesionally
what do you think is going to happen after that has just been said.
girl: wow... do you play any sports?
guy: halo
girl: ...
guy: you wanna see my insane halo skillz??
girl: *slap*
catch my drift? $250,000+tournament winnings each year is a lot of money. That being said, a lot of professional halo players have girlfriends and social lives. Some are in high school, some are in college. They balance gaming, school, and a social life. A lot of people can't do that.
all and all, Navillus makes the only sense on this topic because it takes absolutely NO physical activity to play a little video game. pressing the R trigger and moving a joystick around does not involve any skill whatsoever. "oohh but ur movin ur thumb so it must be a physical sport!!!" again, if moving your thumb is counted as physical activity in your life, you DEFINITELY need to get out more. and i mean a LOT more. No skill? So how about you and 3 friends enter an MLG tournament, and win 20k. If Halo involves no skill, it should be pretty easy for you.
uhh because video games are not work. as much as you want to call it work, it isnt.
just say some hot girl asks you, "hey, you wanna go to the movies tomorrow?" and an MLG nerd says "im sorry, i cant. I got work" she says, "oh really? what do you do?" "video games" *SLAP* (actually i doubt any hot girl would want to hang out with an MLG nerd)
but my point is, you cant tell someone you have to "work" when all your doin is playing video games... it isnt right, its just not right... Just because you and others can't manage school, a social/sex life, and professional gaming doesn't mean other people can't. Lots of pro gamers have girlfriends, do some research before you make assumptions.
I honestly think most of you are just jealous that you aren't living the lives of these pro gamers. KEVINBROCK and ICEMAN ASSASS1N have been spot on with almost every argument they have made. Reread some of their posts.
Yes but they, as well as you, go off on tangents not pertaining to the original post.
Is MLG a sport?
Are MLGers Athletes?
My posts (in my own opinion) have been 'no, they are not' with information to back up my opinion. Also, throwing around how much money you make does not net you a girlfriend. Classier girls tend to look down on cocky braggarts when it comes to that.
Also, ask the pro gamers what they consider 'hard work'. Dont ask the younger guys because they have no idea. Someone mentioned Walshy works 40 hours per week. I wonder what he considers hard work. And nobody here is jealous dude... that cop out is used by all the 14 year olds on these forums.
