Sports are supposed to be hobbies as well, but none of us have a problem with them being careers...

Because being good at a sport requires a shit ton more skill than being good at a video game. Being good at a sport means you actually move around and do physical activity, instead on sitting on your ass for hours on end. Being good at a sport means you're actually doing things, instead of role playing as a fictional soldier fighting aliens while in reality you're just sitting down in front of a screen pressing buttons

Based on your stats, it is challenging to be good at a video game, as well as based on mine. Out of my group of buddies that I play with I am the best at crucible and I (in my opinion) have mediocre stats, but am in the top 9% for KD ratio. This goes to show that even though I seem mediocre, I am still a strong player compared to many others. The chances of becoming a successful gamer are almost the same as becoming a sports star. I also don't see why excercise has anything to with whether or not something is worthy of being a profession. Developers do the same thing, they sit at a desk and work on the game, and they Are respected for it. I don't see why gaming isn't a worthy profession when compared to sports, or other careers for that matter.

Edited by Tormented_Anus: 7/21/2015 12:34:57 AMIt's just that being good at a video game is a lot less impressive than being good at a sport. Both require hand-eye coordination, quick reflexes, and teamwork, but sports takes it further because it also requires stamina, strength, and courage (to be able to play in front of a stadium filled with tens of thousands of people and not falter). Combined with the fact that sports are more active (the athletes have to move their whole bodies instead of just their hands) and the matches last longer, and it's obvious why being good at sports is prestigious, but being good at a video game isn't. Sports have all the qualities of video games and more, plus they don't require you to be a lazy bastard who sits on his ass all day, plus they keep you healthy and have an effect on your life/physical body.

I have been gone camping in Wyoming for 10 days under the stars and have been having a lot of fun, but really I didn't mean any harm, I was simply expressing an opinion.

and you're a douche* who feels the need to try to impose his idea of the 'correct' lifestyle on others. That's just like someone who watches TV 4-5 hours a day telling a gamer that all they're doing is wasting their time. It's incredibly wrong and hypocritical. Just because you have a certain definition of fun, doesn't mean it's right..... or wrong for that matter. But you're wrong for telling someone else how to enjoy their life.
