You know, it takes alot of work and practice to play a game professionally. When people hear that I make my money by doing this, they think that I am somehow getting a free ride or doing absolutely nothing with my days. If they only knew that in this line of work, it means that I put in about 40 more hours a week practicing and learning the ins and outs of what I do, they probablly wouldn't think much of it, since it is only video games. But, it's rather stressful to sit there and compete on the level of play that I endure throughout the days and keeping a straight mind towards what it's all about. I mean, as anybody would, after playing these games for over 40 hours a week it does get very tiresome and the games become boring, but you know that you have to keep playing these games if you want to get paid. I would give anything to put someone in my shoes for a week and see what they think about it, then they can judge me.
