    Mother "couldn't take the complaining anymore"

    Shit, my youngest (he's 10) LOVES Guitar Hero! Guess I'd better stress education...

    That is hilarious. i mean, i know it's not but when i read the title i couldnt help but laugh. maybe he thinks he will be a guitar hero rockstar and make so much money that he wont have to work.

    Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.

    some people actually -do- make a great living being professional gamers. i suspect that number will only grow, although of course it will still be "rare". it's no different than trying to pursue a career in acting, music, anything else risky.

    i mean, sure he should have stayed in HS, but at least he's determined and motivated. most of the kids who drop out have neither of those qualities.

    ALSO:
    i am fantastic at guitar hero.

    LOL. Love that episode. I just hope he doesn't get hooked on trying to catch the pink dragon.

    That's just insane. I can't imagine parents that just 'cannot take his complaining anymore'. They should have never made such a stupid comment. It should have been something closer to "We want our kids to follow their dreams and we'll support them anyway possible..." hehe

    <-- wishes Dance Dance Revolution could be profitable too.

    I met a gamer in a stripclub that started writing his own videogames and made millions. Now if only I could make millions blogging about my crazy life as a stripper in las vegas... but people would only be willing to pay for the video.
    lol.

    I sure hope he's paying his own damn bills, keeping a roof over his own head, and feeding himself too if he's such a fucking grownup he doesn't need school anymore. Those parents fucked up when he was a baby and this was the inevitable result of no parenting.

    What about the career of Gamer (Specializing in playing fake guitar) is so demanding that it requires quitting school to compete?

    Another press clipping:


    "Peebles hopes to get to professional-level gaming, which can see competitors earn from $25,000 to $80,000 per year, although the figure is usually at the lower end and sponsorship opportunities are rare for competitors who coming in any lower than first place."

    P.S. Do you believe that the popularity of virtual games like Guitar Hero will result in fewer kids learning to play "actual" instruments?

    Those parents are fucking stupid. My boyfriend's six year old nephew failed Kindergarden twice, yet is allowed to come home after school and play video games until bedtime. If I were his mother, that fucking Xbox would be thrown out the window and then ran over repeatedly with my car. That article makes me even more determined to ban video games from my house for my son. They are fucking useless and serve no educational value, I hope that kid's parents are proud. What idiots.

    I have doubts about if anyone would even want to sponsor a drop out.
