Power To The Players

So I'm at work helping this young lady pay her cellphone bill, when we engage in conversation about Florida. I go on to tell her that I was thinking about going to college for video game design in Florida. She chuckles and says "wow...OK". Not only was this the most awkward 2 minutes of my day it was also the most disappointing. I know many people see gaming as a waste of time, stupid, boring amongst other things. But to those who grew up with the industry its more than just a pass time. Like me, gamers around the world are driven to their passion just like any football, basketball or baseball players are to theirs. And we should be looked at no different. Those who are laughing now will be the ones in awe later, for the gamers of today will be the virtual pioneers of tomorrow. You laugh at our lifestyles, but you envy our jobs and our paychecks! And to the women who share our emotion I raise my controller to your pride. You are few among many but as cool as they come. So POWER TO THE PLAYERS, we will soon rule the entertainment industry!!
