Finally! SUperstar Professional Video Gamers

[bennylong]

That's right baby, soon we'll be invited to all the porno star party and promoting joysticks when professional gaming becomes the next big hit on TV. It's about damn time.
If porno can be accepted by the general public, it's about time the pizza faced living at momma basement video gamers be accepted.

Sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if this caught on. Losers and dorks who play video games all day as "rock stars". Sheesh.... that's all we need, more kids to want to play video games all day instead of doing something useful.

30 years old without a college degree and zero job experience goes into an interview:

Interviewer: I see you never went to college and you have never held a steady job for more than 4 months, what were you doing during this period?
30 years old gamer: After I graduated from high school, I dedicated myself to training myself to be a professional video gamer. I rose through the minor leaguer of LAN Party gamer and was the MVP of the Long Beach, CA Battlefield 2142 guild. But 2 wrist and elbow surgeries later,from tendonitess as the result of gaming 12 hours a day, I knew my gaming career was over

Brady, the professional gamer (and bartender), says viewers will tune in because they can appreciate how hard gamers must work to become pros. He said in some ways, professional gaming is more exciting (than professional sports) because it involves regular people who have trained an enormous amount of time to succeed.

HEY, IDIOT! PROFESSIONAL ATHLETS TRAIN AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF TIME TO SUCCEED. YOU, ON THE OTHER HAND, PLAY GAMES IN YOUR SPARE TIME. DIAF, you pretentious prick
