I played that game so much the Disc stop working. I was 16 and I had an playstation 2 with that game. I always played Michigan of course, but I always dominate OSU so badly in my road to the heisman mode. Boy those where the days.

I'm insanely jealous of the people with popular twitch channels. I'm going to be working a job out in the "real world", and these people are making TONS more money than me by playing video games. Their job is to play video games. That is the dream.

I can totally see it as living the dream, but it's also an insane grind. The successful twitch streamers almost always are 6-7 day a week guys with no sick days type of deal, it's also pretty hard work as the best ones are constantly talking and interacting with their viewers. And if you're not one of the lucky few that can kind of pick and choose what game you want to play, it becomes an even bigger grind of playing the same game day in and day out all day long.
Twitch viewers are also notoriously flakey, if you take just a few days off you can lose a lot of your viewers and with them their money.
Don't get me wrong, there are far worse jobs out there, but it's a lot more difficult and a lot more of a grind than just playing video games for a living.

Yeah, that's a valid point. As fun as it may be initially, when you make something your job you sort of take some of the fun out of it. I love gaming and I consider myself pretty good at a decent amount of games, but the thought that I would HAVE to play 8+ hours a day to make a living is somewhat unappealing in its own way. Still, definitely not a bad way to go if you can make it work.
Where the hell did I make the wrong career move?

This has been getting pretty big over the last couple of years. You can go to Twitch.tv and there will always be some kind of competition going between League of Legends, DOTA2, CSGO, Hearthstone, Smite, Starcraft (I think its still kickin), and COD (blow my brains out)

I was alerted to this because I follow some of the Stanford Rivals guys on twitter. They did have some solid jokes about dragon and scholarship losses though.
Hey, if we can get guys like Shane Skov on dual scholarships to play LoL and football I'm game

from people who look at esports negatively. they just picture them as skinny little nerds normally. This is one of the top CS players in the world and clearly shows you can have a life outside of the games still. http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/avatars/…
That dude pretty much is set for life with the amount of money he has made winning tournements and part time streaming. He even has gotten a 15k donation from a guy that has donated thousands and thousands of dollars to him aready.
