US Companies Sponsor Pro Gamers
Baddox writes "Professional gaming, which has for some time now been a popular venture in Asia, is finally starting to get some attention from big US companies. Teams for competitive shooters like Counter Strike are getting sponsored by large corporations like Johnson and Johnson. The article poses the question, "Is 'frags per round' going to be the batting average of the 21st century?" "
Like Pro skateboarders, BMX riders, and wrestlers should all be put on a spaceship and sent to the sun. They are an unecessary drain on our society, sucking intelligence out of our citizens and getting paid for it. Include lawyers and patent officers and our world will be a better place to live.
I haven't thought of anything clever to put here, but then again most of you haven't either.
Get real job & stop living in your mom's basement. The real world outside is a beautiful place to be in. Meet interesting people, go places & enjoy.
Move on to something, ANYTHING else besides another tournament based on CounterStrike or Unreal. Jesus, you would think that (insert ANY FPS game released in the last 3 years) would catch on by now. Makes EverCrack look tame, doesn't it? Sure as hell would open up the field to a whole new batch of players, rather than CS/Unreal l337 experts, who have mastered every stinking facet of gameplay by now, regardless of map design. Nothing NEW to see here, move on...
