You uncovered my deep dark secret, instead of playing games in spare time for fun with or without friends like I normally do, deep down I want to play them for a living be competitive and get paid for it...Not a night goes by without me crying myself to sleep because I'm so jealous that I want to be considered "pro". WHY OH WHY CAN'T ALIENWARE OR BURGER KING* SPONSOR ME? AM I NOT GOOD ENOUGH? I WISH I WERE OWNZ JOO!


No. You could have said that we were under a slightly wrong impression, missing the point of it but saying that we're all jealous because we think little of this "sport" is just damn stupid to me...Almost as stupid as the "sport" in the first place.

*Hungry Jack's ftw ;p
First off when did I ever call it a sport, I said it was no more of a sport than golf, that's not saying its a sport necessarily. Second why did you mock me by saying I wish I was as good as ownz joo, I hardly play games anymore, I'm not claiming to be a pro or even good anymore, I just like to come here to see progress on modding and programs for it. Why did you get so defensive about it, the comment I made although I didn't specify was mostly to the people that can't just let go, and keep changing the subject we're arguing about from pro gaming is a joke to, it's not a worthwile profession to you can't get chicks to you'll work at burger king to who else knows what. It's not hurting them for people to make money off of gaming, so them trying to minimize it must have some motive behind it, so give me a better reason for it. I can't stand all the people on live when I went on who thought they were so awesome and called themselves pros for winning a few local tournaments, but lets be real, the people who's team has a $1 million contract with MLG are pros, and they're no joke. They have lots of skill, and they're not just "pressing buttons" with "no skill".

Because you were silly enough to turn around and say "Sounds to me like a lot of people are jealous(not everyone here, but a lot)". My comment was not serious or defensive (what exactly am I defending?, also you're one to talk ;p), was dripping with sarcasm, stuffed with satire and sprinkled with a whole bunch of I thinks its stupid and I don't care for it. I just found it funny that you would turn around and call people who didn't regard it as anything special jealous...Because that's obviously the wittiest comeback in such a situation :P

My quotes were used to say what people say about it, not what you say... You ask if you ever said those things, you did not. Then you start using words in quotations that I never said. So you don't like it when I quote what other people say about it (whilst also demeaning it at the same time :3) and then you turn around and start quoting things that I didn't say. wha? So that means I'm allowed to say: I NEVER SAID PRESSING BUTTONS WITH NO SKILL! :evil:

Also I'm confused with this line: "it's not a worthwhile profession to you can't get chicks to you'll work at burger king to who else knows what."

I'd just like to point out that this thread isn't about arguing over whether gaming is a sport or not, it's about discussing whether you been in a Halo 3 match with someone "special."

The argument will never end, it is completely opinion-based on what your interpretation of what the word, "sport" is.

I'd suggest to stop arguing and to get on topic, before this thread gets locked.
