Not if you're winning money while having fun. Win/win situation. bye bye.DoctaStrangelove wrote:
I would just like to remind everyone that if you play any game competitively, and take it all srsly, like the OP does then you automatically fail at the universe.
About the time where money becomes involved the nature of the game to you changes.robcr9 wrote:

Yeah Flecco, it's good that you've gotten rid of your competitive gaming problem. Those were tough times for us all.Flecco wrote:

Slowly it is less about enjoyment of the game, and more about enjoyment of victory until the game becomes a job, and victory is the only way you have any fun at all.

It must be difficult reading about this having gone through what you have. But still you have the strength to help others who are in the same situation as you used to be.Flecco wrote:

One of the hardest things I ever did was admit I had a problem.
And how many people actually have made money from playing video games? Sure maybe you win free games or a keyboard or some shit, but it's not an actual job. And if it was a job then it wouldn't be fun, it'd be a job.robcr9 wrote:

I hope you're trollingUzique wrote:
This is the fucking most retarded thread I have seen on BF2s in a LONG while. Who even qualified the self-important OP as some sort of international skill judge? Based on what experience? His shity, limited gaming time spent on Battlefield 2? Fuck you and your hyperinflated ego, this thread and the opinions contained within are as about as credible as Holocaust deniers.
Here's a big protip: THE POLITICAL AND IMAGINARY LINES AND BORDERS ON A MAP DO NOT DETERMINE HOW GOOD YOU ARE AT A GAME, NOR YOUR DEMEANOR, ATTITUDE AND RELATIVE (PRO) GAMING SUCCESS. The premise of this thread sucks more shit than a seedy scat-porn video.

Professional gaming is a fulltime hobby that you do in substitute for a job. Sorry to state the obvious, but you can't really relate the two- gaming obviously involves sitting around on yer arse for copious amounts of time with little regard to any other affairs in your personal, social and business life. Consequently most 'pro gamers' are either students or people that have been sucked into multigaming conglomerate-corporate-shitcakes that throw them a free PC/gear and a paltry pittance to survive on. Tournament and LAN winnings are nice bonuses but yeah, there is no steady income, and it's generally a pursuit for people with way too much free time or a severely messed up sense of priority. I can attest to this... been there, done that, got the 'I Wasted Several Years Of My Life' t-shirt.DoctaStrangelove wrote:

and the other thread was also wrote originally to be light hearted. either way, the guy who created the original was just addressing some of the gaming stereotypes and parts of gaming culture that exist in different countries. either these threads hit a nerve of yours or i don't fully understand why you're getting so worked up about thisUzique wrote:
@Simon: I'm addressing the principle at hand of determining between groups of gamers by country/flag/nationality. I don't care if this thread is a spoof-post, the other thread is orientated around the exact same /failboat point.
