Anyone see this? I saw it a little bit ago on MTV about the world's best Quake gamer, world's best Golden Tee gamer, some guys in Tennessee who do nothing but play games ALL day but only console and some old guy in Florida who was the best Pac-Man player and all round asshole.
I thought the Quake kid was cool. Travels the world/country, gets free stuff and money.. The thing that struck me as cool was his fuckin mousepad! It was a big one like 1ft by 1ft. Anyone know where I can get a big ass mousepad?
goodness how can someone like and play pac man so long?! that game makes me wanna kill my self after the first level. idk where u can get mouse pads that huge
Making a living playing games, eh? I have friend who does that here at the UofA. He just beta tests games and goes to E3 conventions and the huge LAN parties in Las Vegas and gets payed for it. I hate him. biggrin:
Personally I wouldn't want to play games all day and get payed for it. I hardly play any games anymore, most of my internet time consists of coming here and making graphics. The rest of my time is baseball and golf.
I friend of mine went to E3 a few years back and won the conference Q3 tourney there. Pretty impressive if you consider the wall to wall gamer geeks there.
