Threads like these always remind me of my former roommate who was a big time losser in life.
He played on Xbox and he always yelled over the mic that he was the king of the game. He was too loud and the whole house could hear it.
He was kicked out from the college because he did not go to school. He did not have a job and lived by his parents' money. His room smelt worse than dog ****, because he was in that room for 35 days.
I could not even remember the times his GRANDMA called to have me bang on the door to wake him up to go to the counsellings.
Always make me wonder, people who have so much time in their hands and act like kings in video game, what are they like in real life.
Hey bud. Im sure you are probably just generalising but in all honesty this thread was not created by myself, Ashen or Caineghis. We all actually know each other and are very cool with each other.
In regards to acting like kings none of use named here from what I know have claimed any greatness. In matter of fact I have been outscored as much as I have outscored those who outscored me. I play for fun.
The assumption that people who are known to be good at this game have no lives makes no sense to me. All of those who know me directly know that I work from home and thus the reason it is easier for me to run a few matches here and there. They also know that I am a video game designer and am an investor in a few small companies and am a consultant for them on their growth strategies. So yes. I am a professional and a business man. I manage my time well and still get to travel the world and do all the crazy things that you probably only get to see on TV....
Soooo to make assumptions that people who are good at any game like this have no lives is ...well..immature at best. I have lived live and will continue living it hard and awesomely. I wake up every day with purpose and do very well at what I do. Another example is actually the guy at the top of the leaderboard. IAMxSHADRACH. So much speculation on the guy being a no life yet he owns his own business just like me..... No chubby, loud mouth kids here buddy. In matter of fact the N7 SpecOps page that I am a member of is on facebook and has a link to my personal profile and that guy with the muscular arms who works out every day.....yes...thats me.
There is another assumption you should take besides the one you took. That is the one that there are people that are actually succesful and have the time and can make the time to enjoy something like a video game daily or every other day because....well...simply because they can.
