lol what a crazy topic, the age of gamers has been around for ages ripken204, or havnt you noticed, hell now these days people can actually livew out a true gamers dream and get paid to play games, hell take madden football for example, if you can be with in the top 10 in the world in it for online gaming, your pretty much guaranteed a job as a beta tester for the company and i believe they make between 50 to 250k a year just for playing games and telling the programmers the bugs to fix plus also, not to mention theres tons of others games ppl can do the same also,, its getting very easy these days to become a game tester and making a living off of it,, plus not to mention tons of gaming contests every year face it when i grew up it was named generation nintendo even though i started out on atari, it amazes me to see how things have went from there. its nice to see some ppls dreams come true,
