		<description>You&#039;re all a bunch of pathetic nerds, using words like pwn, noob,saying that the street fighter video left you speechless, they are just video games you know.  They are meant to be something fun, not this big competition, or something to throw any chance of a real life away on.  And the dumb thing is you nerds care about things like relationships, what society thinks of you, showing off, the bible (this applies to so-called aetheists as well).  The worst part is you know I&#039;m right, you know will use your gay words like trolling, but you are all slaves, sheep, and imbeciles.</description>

		<description>I toyed with the prospects of becoming a professional gamer.  I was playing 16+ hours per day of CoD 4 so I convinced some friends of mine to enter a local tournament.  We practiced day in and out for over a month before the tournament came.  When we played in the tournament we were easily the best and won the whole thing with ease, but we only won $1000 split 4 ways.  So basically me and my friends worked hundreds of hours to get $250.   After that I looked into other tournaments but they are spread far apart and their are very few.  Also, the people playing at the national and international level are going to be the best of the best, so your odds of winning are slim to none.  Plus very few teams can consistantly win the top prize so you are bound to lose more money by traveling than you stand to gain.

If I had a ton of money I would pursue professional gaming not as a career but as a hobby, because it is damn fun.  For now i&#039;ll stick to passive gaming and keep my day job.</description>
