Geez, parents these days.HomeAliveIn45 post=7.68832.641407 said:I'm more appaled at the fact his parents allowed him to leave school than the fact that... well, just everything else.
The difference is that in a FPS you don't kill real people. I'd much rather spend the rest of my life doing nothing than playing FPS's than that I would go into the army so you can help doing the dirty work of some politician.thebobmaster post=7.68832.641614 said:I find it appalling that the parents allowed this. Seriously, what the hell? And to everyone who is mocking the fact that there are professional GH players, let me say this: if you are a professional gamer that specializes in FPS, why not just join the Army? I mean, if you've wasted enough time to play a FPS well, you might as well have learned to shoot a real gun in a real war by now.
yeah dude, I love that episodeEagle Est1986 post=7.68832.641474 said:Fantastic! Only South Park could have possibly predicted it!

Wow ummm...well. After that, you seem like a real asshole. But anyways, I never thought to myself "Hey, I'm awesome at FPS's time to drop out of school to pursue this as a career!" Honestly, gaming to me is a hobby, it will never be my life. I just don't see this as being anything more then a 1-2 year fling for this kid.yourkie1921 post=7.68832.641967 said:People forget, not everyone uses their education. People act as if the only way to get a half-decent job is to go to high school and do all this crap, while my dad dropped out of highschool and makes more than 55% of them. You're never guranteed success until you have a job or it's lined up for you. and you're not guranteed a life of failure if you don't go through high school.True, but the fact that they mentioned "christain academy" can mean one thing or anotherJak The Great post=7.68832.641427 said:Hooray for negligent parenting
"He always told me school was a waste of time"
Yeah, any kid is going to say that jackass
1: the person who wrote that is a moron who has no idea how to use adjectives
2: there's something we're not getting.
In my opinion a school that teaches religion is a worse spot to start off than a pro-gamer.....or as a prostitute....or a drug seller.
Bull, if you suck at math, leadership.........and about 150 other traits/subjects you're not good at anythingAt 16, you're not qualified to say you're not good anything. What a dumbass. But hey, he's living the American Dream, right? To do whatever you want with your life (within the legal confines of the law).I think he's relying on games like this happening periodically for the next......40 years I guess.Sure maybe he's convinced them that he's gonna earn money doing this, what about in a few years when the GH fad has moved on and he can't keep up with the moves in 'Bassoon Legend'?Fuck you. For all you know GH will be like madden comming out every 1 or 2 years and these tournies will always be going on.Hope his parents enjoy having their son living in their basement for the rest of their lives. Cant say I see GH & no qualifications taking him any further then thatFuck you more.I find it appalling that the parents allowed this. Seriously, what the hell?

I mean, if you've wasted enough time to play a FPS well, you might as well have learned to shoot a real gun in a real war by now.do you think those working at MC. Donalds take it "that seriously" the kid never claimed to take it seriously, he claimed to be good at it.Yeah, I have nothing against Guitar Hero, but people who take it that seriously need to be beaten with their tiny plastic instruments.
ps. This kid should've entered a few real tournies before he did this.
I hope the devil bones you with the same instrument he did for Hitler for saying that all decent jobs come with high school degrees. For all you know this is one of those kids who'd rather work in a coal mine than have an office job or be a teacher or fit into your definition of a "good" jobGodsClown post=7.68832.643226 said:The big problem I see is, being a professional gamer alone really won't make you a living, specially off a game like Guitar hero. FPS games maybe, because if you are really good at them, you can basically be good at most of them.
I personally think the idiot is making a horrible decision. I mean, at LEAST finish high school, so when your ass fails, you can still find a few decent jobs.
GOod defense.Wow ummm...well. After that, you seem like a real asshole.
These games will probably be out in the future. Also, is that 25K a week, month, or year? If it's a month, half of that is 12k and half of that is 6k since I'll say it's half as popular as most FPS's.If you can only get $25k for being in the top 1% for two massive games that have staying power, theres no chance of a career from a single game or franchise which has unusual game mechanics and controls that are unlikely to be useful in any future games.
So he actually has a chance of getting laid. I mean seriously, do you think women would jump up and down and scream at him for pretty much pressing buttons?yourkie1921 post=7.68832.646727 said:Ehh, why?
The game is funner and hurts your hands less.
Droping out of school to start playing professionaly sounds pretty serious to me.yourkie1921 post=7.68832.641967 said:The kid never claimed to take it seriously, he claimed to be good at it.
These are the people that give America and video games a bad name. Please believe me in that not all of us are this stupid. I think the Christian Academy might have something to do with it.Hunter said:"We couldn't take the complaining anymore," said Hunter. "He always told me that he thought school was a waste of time."
