I am not blaming the games,I blame the "Pro"idea and MLG.Games are meant for fun and entertainment,nothing more.If you need them for more than that there is something missing from your life and its not gaming.

VcS Gun Shot is his actual account at the moment, there are alot of fb strongsides so it might not have been him, u never no


No. There is a poser with the account VCS Gun Shot, with the letter o. His actual account has a zero instead.

And Gun Shot isn't pro.


Wrong, his actualy account is spelt with a lowercase "o", and he made pro bracket at Meadowlands.

uhhh, Pistola had the talent...to become pro.


Oh that's what you call it? I call it playing FFA daily over 6 months+


And Sketto is right, of course.

It really isn't that hard to become pretty good when you don't just sign on to idle in the lobby and play Cat and Mouse once in a while.

The only form of natural talent I can see having any sort of place is in critical thinking skills, sharp reflexes and good eye-hand coordination, etc. I really doubt there's a knack someone has specific to gaming that isn't just the applied composite of other more general abilities.

It's split through several years. However, they make their contract money in addition to tournaments they win. It sometimes depends on the tourney, but mostly the winning team (for Halo 2) will get $20,000 per tournament, and of course FFA's if the players partake in that.

So you have the $250,000 contract they're on, and the cash money for each tournament.

Lets look at what Karma got last year- he was on Carbon's national championship winning team, who won the $100,000 grand prize. He also won the FFA championships, so that was another $10,000. Couple that with a top three placing in each tournament during the year, and his contract money and you have............a whole lotta money LOL

ill make a list of jobs that basically have the same mentality of playing videogames, im not saying they have anything in common but these jobs really are identical

1. racecar driving
2. acting
3. singing
4. playing in a band
5. any major sport

His account is VcS GuN ShoT. The VcS GuN Sh0t is the poser

I can understand people wanting to play games professionally for $250,000 a year but doesn't it bother you that you would be contributing absolutely nothing to society whatsoever? I don't care how much I got paid to sit around and play video games, I wouldn't do it knowing I'm just pimple on society's ass.

  • 06.23.2007 1:43 PM PDT

lol @ the people here who get on a gaming forum, reply to a topic every 3 minutes telling someone else that they have no life, and defending it. Might want to look at what you are doing (refreshing and replying constantly) before you flame.

$hit man, thats EXACTLY what im talking about. EXACTLY. they dont understand though... its not good for your health either.

Yeah, I agree. How could you get a sense of accomplishment from playing a video game? How could you go your entire 'career' without a sense of accomplishment? How could you go your entire 'career' knowing that you really haven't done anything? I sure as hell couldn't.

Jus wandering, any1 here play with or against pros, i just played with whoisstrongside (who is the real strongside) in 2 ffas on midship and beat him both times, (it was his first games of the day) i played with VcS Gun Shot a few days ago , and im in Ogre 2s clan, preveously in LiL Poisons clan. Also i hav fb walshy , fbi halogod, fbi victory, l3utt3rz and i5ki roy on my friends list. Any1 else play wit pros?


i dunno if that is the real strongside cuz i have played with Stk Farside(Stk yhslaw and the 2 ogres),Strongside,FB Strongside,etc.
Also FB walshy account got hacked a long long time ago.
anyways i think Fbi halogod,fbi victory,l3utt3rz and i5ki roy are the originals.

Any1 else play wit pros?

I have played against pros like walshy, the 2 ogres, strongside,fonzi, gunshot,etc.
But i do not have them on my FL lol :P
