Who let the tards out? Do you guys even understand the point I was arguing? Tell me where I said MLG players don't deserve contracts. Please quote it for me. And the two teenagers sending each other myspace links of themselves, neither of you have ever had a real job. You guys have no credibility in this discussion.
Navillus, please don't use the word "tard" we're trying to have a public discussion with two sides having clearly drawn lines. Flaming only makes this a spam thread as opposed to a debate.
Now, what constitutes a "Real" job? Sweeping trash at an elementary school is a job. Flipping burgers is a job. Sitting behind a desk (like what I've been doing on and off the past three years in between college) is a job.
And the fact that someone isn't employed shouldn't prevent them from partaking in this discussion. Because even if you're not working, I'm sure you could appreciate someone working to earn a paycheck, as long as its honest work.
People with no credibility should not partake in discussions about what constitutes work... that is like me trying to participate in a discussion at my work about budget finances when I have no experience in budgeting. Sweeping trash is not recreation, flipping burgers is not recreation, sitting behind a desk doing office work is not recreation. Playing Halo 2, whether for competition, for fun, or for money, is RECREATION no matter how you guys try to spin it. Just because a select few get a bonus for playing 8 hours a day, everyday, does not mean it constitutes as being a job. This is the reality and people need to accept it. Society will never see MLG gaming as a job or a sport. Period.
Discussion over.
I must say you throughly convinced me to slam on my brakes and make a complete 180 from pro to anti-gaming. I mean you definately took into account my first hand experience that your ignorant ass has never been through, and then applied it to your point of view. I definately think of gaming as never ever for any reason being anything more than just for fun. I mean playing competetively for money? when has money ever put something to a level past recreation? I dunno man, i mean obviously all landscaping is recreation because some people enjoy gardening and shaping their yards. Obviously being a chef is completely recreational because I enjoy cooking, even since I was 8! I mean if an 8 year old can cook, it must be a joke of a job for a 40 year old MAN to do it. AH HAHAHA, it's just laughable how now, because of your argument, I know see almost all middle class jobs as completely recreational. I don't know how I didn't see it before!!! Navillus, I present to you the Nobel Peace prize for single handedly, and permanently, ending this debate.
And for your information Navillus, who is obviously santa clause in disguise because he knows what everyone does all the time. I started working at 16 at a Junk Yard doing inventory and dealing with customers, then at an Auto Body doing prep and recon, I've done days with a septic friend of my family who pays out big for dealing with "poop", and I've done a whole "poop" load of carpentry. So overall Mr. Clause AKA (ha HAaAA! I knew santa was real!!!!) Navillus, I have worked many real jobs.
You should probably take a step back from yourself and realize that I'm trying to inform you of the other side of the argument no one else here has been able to show. Your disregard for what I've posted acts as a crystal clear window, showing your stuborn ignorance and bias against gaming as a job. It is just as much work as most other jobs. You do not understand and choose not to accept it. Even when I've shown exactly what it takes to be pro, so you YOURSELF can make your own juxtaposition. You should probably just bow out of this discussion now before your pride drops below the suicide line.
No scope headshoting Noobullus all day,
Zach
