If you really know me, then you know I'm a gamer in every respect of the word. I love to play video games. I play them for fun and, like what this post is about, I play them competitively. There is a poll up on a popular gaming site that is trying to decide the greatest gamer of all time. I thought many of you would find this hilarious that some people play video games for a living so I decided to post and link it. And others like to make fun of the gaming freaks.
Take for example Billy Mitchell, "Mr. Pac-Man." In response to his obsession and greatness in playing Pac-Man he had to say:
I understand the behavior of the ghosts and am able to manipulate the ghosts into any corner of the board I choose. This allows me to clear the screen with no patterns. This was a more difficult method for the initial 18 screens. I chose to do it this way because I wanted to demonstrate the depths of my abilities. I wanted to raise the bar higher - to a level that no one else could match.This freak also apparently reached a Nirvana state when in 1999, after 19 years of compulsive playing, he played the perfect game. In other words he got through 256 stages of Pac-Man eating every single blue ghost and getting every single bonus prize.
The other 15 contestants in the poll for best gamer are unfortunately familiar to me. I recognize most of their names and even played against one of them. Just to let you know that after you
ha-ha them for the fact that they will forever remain virgins, these guys probably make 70-90 thousand American a year and Boxer has a fan club with 100,000 members who worship him in Korea (competitve gaming there is as popular as any other sport).
