I'm tired of people saying that BoxeR is wasting his life, or saying that he's getting paid 166,000 a year to just have fun.
It's his job, and anyone playing basketball goes through the same thing. They practice, they play in leagues, playoffs and get paid to do it.
How come we aren't saying 'they play excessively'? Because it's a job, and people just can't believe that something like this is a job. Well, it is, and in the future there will be more things like this. And eventually you'll be having things like GameWorld in the U.S.
You're just stuck in the past if you think that it requires no skill, no intelligence and no speed. First, if it didn't why do people get paid thousands and up to do it? Because it requires thinking, innovation, speed, creativity, etc.
Like I said, get used to it too.
And before anyone replies to this with a 'SC is just for fun and that's all it should be for' let me answer you quickly with a nice
Many games are like that, but this requires all that was listed above and more. Counter-Strike also requires speed, intelligence, etc. And more games are coming along like it.
So, and good night =]

And just WTF was that all about? If you spend some time here you'll notice that this is one of the most pro-progaming sites ever. So now either shut up and read a little of the newsposts OR go away. I mean for christs sake WE EVEN BET ON PROGAMING ON THIS SITE.

Why do you flame him? He speaks truth. I too find too many people call those like Boxer "pathetic losers with no life" and it pisses me off.
|
never heard anyone say that.

pro-gaming may be useless and pathetic but so are lots of jobs: -game developers -actors -anything having to do with spectator sport (including game shows) -talk show hosts -rappers -high school guidance counselors -anything having to do with religion -lawyers -politicians -"proffessional" body builders and models -the advertising/marketing industry -"proffessional" movie critics -etc.
I hope the point is clear.

the only thing i find really bizzare is when some of those ppl visit the site regularly, read every posts, d/l and and watches all the gosu replays just so that they can try to learn, bet on the liquidbet and then end up posting "it's just a game, why are u so serious about it.."
|
I have never heard anyone worth their metal say any of the things that you are complaining about
|
Yeah, AK-Nemesis
Also, the way I think about it, Broodwar is not just a game, but a hobby for some people(like me), and a hobby is something people can and do get serious about.
Also, Shockey, or pooper, people have said to me, in real life, that they think progaming is sad and "like what are they gonna accomplish", so, well, if you haven't heard people say things such as that, you're obviously not me.

Wow this is like flaming in record time. The first flame came in 12 minutes. You should all be proud of bringing this guy down.
And Keanu, did u have to post twice? you could have left it at the first one. but no, two minutes later u have a revalation and get the urge to post again.
|
I did though, I read the whole rant...realized just how out of place it was, and called him a moron. I then stopped, thought about it a little bit, and I had the urge to flame him once more, and it couldn't be satiated by simply adding to my first post.
