Wow, this little brat told his parents that school was a waste of time.....he's gonna fail at life. He better go back to school.

Did you read the article?  It says he is going to school.  So I ask, what are you talking about?

LOL. Unrelated, I saw a 9 year old Japenese kid on Conan playing the shit out of a guitar.

 

 

Yeah, I saw that. The little kid was pretty damn good. He deserves more money that this 16 year old fool will ever attempt at making.

Why is this kid a fool?  Am I missing something?

For example, I am dreaming of being either a game design or an author when I grow up


Start writing books and designing games . ASAP.

M != restricted btw :)

Back on topic: parents let their kids achieve their dreams for a very good reason. Having dreams increases the chances of being successful in life when they grow up.


I think the guy would get more use (and income over the long term) learning a real guitar. Remember not all dreams are a good idea, look at Hilter.

Umm, I do believe Hitler's dream probably had to do with him being an artist, so your example is highly contradictory to your stance. I mean, the guy wanted to be an artist, went to art school, and got thrown out because he wasn't any good. Had he been homeschooled and allowed to chase his dream then maybe he'd have developed some talent and gone on to be an artist rather than a leader that allowed (and wanted) a holocaust to happen.

My social studies teacher never taught my class that.  Guess we learn something new everyday

straight from the article, "He always told me he thought school was a waste of time."  That is why he is a fool, and his dumb ass mother is twice the fool for letting him quit.  All kids think school is a waste of time, and a lot of kids would rather sit at home and play games, but that doesn't mean that they should.  I would wager that in two years time this kid and his family will be broke from flying him around the world and he will be flipping burgers at McDonalds for a few years trying to help his parents pay off all the debt they incurred from their stupidity before trying to get into a community college without a high school diploma.

Hmm, I actually don't see anything wrong with this. Professional gaming shouldn't be made fun of any more than sports.

 

Well the core thing is that Sports don't fall out of popularity. Most video games, even in the professional arena aren't popular for too long (exception is Starcraft in South Korea), so really this kid basically is gonna spend alot of time focusing on one game, that could fall out of popularity in 3 years time and not be able to transfer those skills somewhere else.

 

Not be able to tansfer those skills? You kidding me?

Guitar hero enhances your keyboarding skill(and I mean the instrument if that's not clear) a TON. My fingers are so loose and compliant now.

Guitar hero doesn't do anything for your guitar playing though.

sorry for double post, but that is nice that you can play the piano better because of playing guitar hero.  maybe this kid will get to play the piano in a church as his reward for trying to become a professional gamer.

 I don't support Guitar Hero in the least, nor Rockband. Its sad that a bunch of wannabes are being paid for this shit. I leave games like this for dorks and wannabes. I wouldn't shell out money for something like that when I could buy a beautiful real guitar.
