Hmph. And they said "Playing video games won't help you in school". Yeah, well, I could pay for college with the money these guys make.

Keep dreaming, moldymonk. You're definately never going to become the best gamer in the world if you can't even gun me down in VO after all that obscenely massive gametime you've put in.

He says nobody else has done that, "not even close."

Never said I could do it. Not in this game, anyway.

the odds of anyone making money off of playing video games are so small that its pointless to argue that they are good for you for that reason.

say that they enhance critical thinking
say that they provide a social experience
say that they increase hand eye coordination

but NEVER say "but mom i could get rich doing this"

Does anyone have the alts "fatal1ty" and "Lil Poison"?

From the article:
[60 minutes reporter Steve] Kroft played a round with "Lil Poison." How did he rate as an opponent?

"Bad," De Leon says.

"How bad?” Kroft asks.

"Super bad."


LMAO.

hehe

I'm a Halo junkie, so I know when someone's taunting you, not just killing you. And jumping on top of his head to snipe the guy is DEFINITELY taunting.
