ESPN on video games
F Whipple \| 7:06 PM on 10.08.2007	3 comments

I read an interesting article from ESPN on none other than professional gaming in the world of Halo (of course). That's right, ESPN talked about video games. It goes on and talks about how 1337 they are with their all-day practice sessions, junk food diet, and how they have coaches and groupies. It also notes how they became bored with the single player after about 10 minutes.

I read and couldn't decide whether or not I was jealous of them. Sure they play video games for a living, get paid exhorbitant amounts of money for what I pay to do, and have groupies, but it seems like they don't actually enjoy the games. Seems like such a loss....ah what the hell of course I'm jealous of them.

Professional gaming is for suckers.

According to ESPN, I'm the Shaquille O' Neal of shooters.

I'll be handing out signed copies of my book (Entitled "Lulz�: What and How To Slam Them") at GameStops around the country later this week.

If they are forced to play Madden, then I would understand not enjoying the game, but for other games?
