Parents, Dreaded Parents
May 25th, 2007 by Guest Contributor Matt JohansonParents – the only threat more serious to the Gamer than the expectations of class, and the only beings capable of inducing more shame than our peers. This is for the age-old question of whether to move out and suffer the hardships of broke living, or stay at home and bear the incessant nagging from which there is no escape. This is the Secret Life of the College Gamer.
Parents represent the chink in our armor. No one views the Gamer lifestyle with more disgust than those who tend to foot the bill. Reminders about who’s roof we live under and threats of being “cut off” are enough to bring even the most dedicated Gamer down. The only plausible defense is to get a job, but I’ve already addressed that challenge in my second issue, Will Game for Food. Let’s face it, unless the beggar business is booming, money for a college gamer is harder to find than chicks that play Counter-Strike (if you are a chick who plays Counter-Strike and I have offended you then please email me ASAP for a heartfelt, personal apology).
Take, for example, the time I tried to explain to my parents that by playing 14 hours of video games a day, I was in fact NOT wasting my life away… I was conducting valuable research towards an extremely lucrative future career. My father openly laughed in my face while my mom sat open-mouthed and silent with a look of terrified bewilderment on her face. About an hour later, after dad stopped laughing, I told them I was serious. This resulted in both of them laughing and a two week period of my friends asking me why I was being so emo.
Parents will never understand gaming! Where we see joy and entertainment, parents see a waste of time and brain cells. Where we see skill building, parents see a complete lack of ambition. Where we see a future in eSports, parents see a future 30 year-old still living at home and eating all their food.
The problem is the generation gap. Parents cannot be reasoned with, because we should all seek to be plumbers or used car salesmen. Better yet, we should be outside playing sports, a complete waste of time from a future career point of view. To the Gamer’s mounting frustration, mom and dad have yet to realize that gaming has truly evolved from the original NES and the days of Donkey Kong. Sitting a parent in front of Call of Duty 4 would be like forcing Charlie Chaplin to watch the entire Adam Sandler collection.
They are wrong, of course, but we are left with little or nothing to say. This only adds to the problem when they misinterpret our silence as a concession to their superior wisdom. The truth is, we are silent because no parent can understand the goals of the Gamer. No parent can understand the euphoria of dropping 20 on de_forge. No parent can understand the need to become the leetest CEVO-P champion. How such a lofty goal could not be counted as ambition is beyond me!
So when faced with the choice of whether to get your own place or stay living at home, ask yourself this hypothetical question: If you actually knew a girl… and actually had the chance to have her over… would she rather have nothing to eat, nothing to do, and no furniture to sit on, or play another game of bridge with your mom and her blue haired friends? You ponder that for awhile let me know what you think. I’m going to sit anxiously by my computer and wait for girls to email me for that apology. Until next time, game long and game on!

Awesome and completely true, parents are what is holding eSports back.
May 30th, 2007 at 7:30 pm
Brilliant. Words cannot describe the amazing letters forming the rant above.
June 7th, 2007 at 12:35 pm
some parents support competitive gaming.. a lot of the pro’s have parents who go to lans and watch them play. i understand the difficulty of getting in some decent play time at home, but the competitive gamer should be older anyway. you say moving out and living a broke lifestyle, but i’m hardly broke. if you consider yourself to be a decent gamers, then you’ve already got the qualifications needed for a decent job. you can work with a team, you can adapt to different situations, you’re quick to react, and you’re used to showing up on time… right?
just move out! if you’re not old enough to move out, you’re not old enough to play competitively in an M rated game.
June 7th, 2007 at 4:55 pm
:) keep in mind that Matt’s articles are satire
June 8th, 2007 at 1:09 pm
If you didn’t pick up on that satire then you shouldn’t be playing counter-strike, you should be going over last semesters lit notes.
June 8th, 2007 at 1:31 pm
hate to be all serious face, but if you are at university, you arent there to be a professional gamer. You can play competively, especially during the summer, there is time to play a couple of hours every day unless its right before finals.
its not easy either, you have to get lucky, living in texas I met a few people in hs who tried to do it, just living by themselves with a job trying to get ready for cpl or w/ever lan, and unless you are just really, really good, you wont make enough money to make the time investment worth it.
you can certainly play competitively in college, but just like college football players you still are a student first and only a very limited number of them make it to the professional level
June 9th, 2007 at 2:13 pm
red that would relate to some people saying “esports is nothing” or people who laugh at professional gamers. By the nature of any human who is deticated to something a gamer in college will make it and become “professional”. But just like professional football players other circumstances of their life suffer(i.e grades)
June 10th, 2007 at 8:48 pm
my parents understand why i love to play cs so much, and they also understand that i need to practice to play these matches/lans…
one of the best things i’ve ever heard of my dad’s mouth was “i see now why you like to play this game so much…” when i was at one of my first LANs and he was there watching our last match.
June 10th, 2007 at 11:26 pm
Hmm… Sounds like the World > us to me.
But like sozn said, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I didn’t at least try. How much a person is willing to sacrifice to make that attempt is up to them.
I’m not going to hold it against anyone, 13 or 30 to go after their dreams. And yes, I think a persons dreams are more important than a girlfriend, or your friends (who should know your dreams, and support them, but maybe this is old fashioned). The world may be > than you. But to me, dreams > living life measured by anything other than striving to reach whatever your mind can ponder.

Interesting information, thank you…right now I have a question on this subject because I am writing a book about dating and how to get a girlfriend in today’s world. I’d love to get your thoughts on this new trend of guys studying “pickup”, and I’m wondering whether that stuff is actually effective? Is there one “dating coach” out there who can actually teach guys to pick up women?

One of the benefits of shopping online is that it helps consumer saves time. This suits the current lifestyle of most people who are rather busy and have difficulty finding time doing all their shopping at physical stores. With online shopping, they can cut down on their traveling time. Furthermore, if the product they want is not available in the physical store, they need to go to another store to find it. With shopping online, all these inconvenience can be avoided.

This
Nike Dunk High
has a checker pattern in mint and white. The contrast is apparent in denim which gives a good feel to the shoes that goes throughout the whole shoe, even in the lace, the heel, panel and the wing. To keep it apart from the rest of the
Nike sb Dunk Low
version whose swoosh is in white, this one sports a blazing orange swoosh that makes the shoe look so real.

I smoked for quite a few years and kicking the habit was extremely difficult. I bought all of the stop smoking tools yet nothing at all helped me stop. Then I heard about the smokeless cigarette.

Im not gonna lie, youve lost me right here. I know that you meant well and you definitely know what youre discussing, but I cant say that I get where youre coming from. In the event you want individuals to understand your points, you need to take into consideration the other side in the argument, too. Youve got a wealth of knowledge, Ill give you that. But, quite frankly, you turned me off with your tone.

I’ve had my NB’s for a couple years now. I was a waiter, and I cut grass in them. Probably 10+ hours a day walking around with my shoes on. Granted, they’re a pretty durable shoe, but it really depends on how much use they get. Mine are still great, but my feet do hurt when I wear them for a while now. I purchased a new pair, and my feet feel better after wearing them for a while. In my case, the arches in my old shoes wore down, so I started getting flat feet, instead of the arch support my feet needed!

In my opinion New Balance shoes suck. Get a pair of asics and put a gel insert in the heel. Asics have good arch support and a nice toe spread but they lack good heel cushioning. I swear by asics.

Hey, I just desired to let you know, I in fact like the written substance on your web page. But I am utilising Chromium on a machine running version 9.04 of Ubuntu plus the search and experience aren’t very satisfying. Not a strong deal, I can still essentially understand the articles and search for info, but just desired to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of challenging to use while using config I’m running. Retain up the superb perform!

Hundreds of famous celebrities the world over are huge fans. Oprah Winfrey has described the shoes simply as “pieces of art”. His ethos is to “make shoes that are like jewels” and each unique design demonstrates unparalleled quality and an innate sultriness.
