Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

Sure, why not?

Pure Insanity
The point of war is not to die for one's clan, but it's to make the other bastard die for his
Right before you die, there is always a chance to save yourself, sieze that chance and live to fight another day
The best way to kill someone is to fight them with the same weapons they use and make them know you are better than them, not because of superior weaponry, but because of superior skill.

I'm a Pro-Casual.

If he's good enough yes. The fact that people call people casual is retarded one way or another though.

There's money in pro Halo?

You're not going to make any money if you play a game casually. Most of the people who will say they are casual gamers on this site aren't actually casual gamers, so they don't really count.

Nobody on B.net is a 'casual gamer'.

Casual doesn't mean the person is bad.

Dumb people just like to use it as an insult. Because they're dumb.

Yes.

Just because you are a casual gamer does not mean you are bad, as others have said.

But by definition a casual gamer isn't someone who invests themselves to the point where they would care about getting better.

Invests is the key word. The more you invest in a game - or any sort of activity - the further you'd deviate from the 'casual' category I'd say.

My earlier comment insinuates that B.net is a pretty heavy investment for video games, though it was clearly hyperbolic in that there are exceptions.

People that play at MLG tournaments invest all their time into practicing their strategies and developing their skills.

A casual gamer wont be bothered doing this and so he wont make mlg. Natural talent is irrelevant in MLG.
