Ask yourself how many people do you think are going to join the military because of games like CoD. I know military video games like Battlefield and CoD played at least some part in my decision to want to join the Marines. Hell, the army already realized the potential when they created their America's Army.

The age thing is a load of bullshit, you don't really become worse at video games when you age. You just get responsibilities, lose motivation etc and practice less.
The injury is a legitimate mitigating factor for him though, obviously.
You don't get worse at video games but your concentration, reaction time, and the muscle fibers to preform some actions wear down.
It's not bullshit.
Yeah, all that happens when you turn like 80. 30 years old is fucking young, dude.
Actually, some parts of your cognitive ability start declining at the age of 25
As someone else has already said: Nestea would disagree :\
1. Nestea is actually a god. 2. He has a thousand IQ to compensate.
Boxer is a super-god with a thousand plus one IQ, sup now yo.
Well, duh? Boxer is the god that created all other gods.

Afaik, he's not out yet. Extended series are just confusing people.
Almost as confusing as Torte De Linis post counter.

Ask yourself the age-range of who is watching MLG.

ROFL oh my.... what the hell is wrong with you?
my point of view is different to yours
Do you know what kind of shit people would give him if he wasn't that mannered? He's got more eyes on him than anyone else I think, he'd get crucified for BM'ing the worshiped Emperor
No one said he had to BM Boxer. Just a simple gg wp is fine.
But the extra, overly mannered fake response was unnecessary.
Atleast I'm pretty sure that's what the other guy meant.
Personally I don't give a shit. Don't see why it makes any difference.
Without Boxer, iNcontrol wouldn't be living the life he does now. It seems weird to say in a game, but it is probably legitimate and honest regardless.
It might be legit vs the emperor, but when he does it every game it seems forced.

You know he doesn't have to say, "Fuck you!" and leave. He can just say "gg" and move on, he does seem to force his overwhelming manner out on screen but then goes on to label anyone who criticizes him as a hater and be incredibly vocal about furthering the sport and community but then goes on to lambast others in the most hypocritical manner.

No, same thing is happening to me. I actually missed the last 30 mins, quite frustrating.

Nestea disagrees
Agreed. Also, look at professional musicians who are still playing at the highest levels even when they are in their 70's. Yea some of those things mentioned do matter as you age (though it only matters at a much later age), but it really needs to be remembered that we are dealing with minute muscle movements, this isn't like professional dancers, or traditional athletes where you are putting major stresses on your entire body. Also, there are parts of your body that aren't finished fully developing as late as into your 30's.
