If he can earn 25k then odds are that he can continue on and probably fund his future college education by playing a video game. What's wrong with that? As a gamer, isn't this an especially interesting avenue of acquiring funds. I am not surprised if people hear about this story and raise an eyebrow - because they don't understand it fully... I just didn't expect gamers to be so critical of the situation.

HE isn't the one who made 25k, that was someone else. He's never made ANY money from playing, just free food and shit. And 25k ISN'T a lot of money! He's a KID. Not an adult. As a gamer, if I hear of a gamer making money off playing, I think "good for them, maybe people will start taking gaming seriously." As a GAMER, when I hear of weak parents caving to their little emo outcast who doesn't want to be in school anymore so he pretends he'll be making a living off of guitar hero, I think "oh shit. This is going to set gaming back a bit." This kid is the exact stereotype gamers should be trying to combat.
well played good sir.... well played.

not necesarrily(sp?) I don't try to bring others down by saying nothing but negative things, I hang out with a buncha people that are the exact opposite of my feelings towards the world and we get along fine.
#1. There is no girl, that is out of your league, you put them out of your league by saying they are out of your league. So go hit her up big man
#2. Exactly what I was saying, about the "not being part of the problem" thing

The guy that did make 25k, was an accumulation of his whole "career" I would like to know how long his "Career" was, but like Raine said, its not as much as people may think it is...haha
