If anything, it's been ages since Ash last visited his mother... |

Mum know's best. Really it's time to grow up, stop playing with kids toys and games and become a contributing to society adult. You can always go back to playing with kids toys and games when you live long enough to retire and become senial. It's working for me.

Well, then I wonder what a maternal remark to the winner of a Yu-Gi-Oh! Word Championship would like! The mom does have a point in that is important in getting a job. However, it also is dependent on the kid's age.

Typical. I'm 26 and my mom hates it that I still play Pokemon.

I'm well into responsible adulthood, and I STILL enviously follow the news stories of the International Monopoly Tournament. (Of which the US semi-finals are played aboard an Amtrak train on the Pennsylvania Railroad.) There's "playing", and there's being adult and savvy enough to follow strategy and get some prize money back thanks to all that acquired acumen that's given one an advantage in situation-thinking all those years. Problem is, you have to play an official-rules game (no Free Parking!) with four to six people refereed with official paperwork forms to first qualify for tournament ladders, and I can never find one anywhere I look. 
Don't buy into the scapegoat-frustrated Japanese hive-mind: Real people have games and lives too. |

That sounds like the progression is enjoyable youth-->mundane adulthood-->become senile and realize what you enjoyed before was best. Haha |

Don't joke around, sir. You expect me to 360 no scope people while in a wheelchair with reading glasses? Hell no!

Where did it say he was pursuing it as a profession? He had the spare time, and he obviously had the skills; it's not like he had to take time off from work to pursue some "pointless" private-hobby tournament. (C'mon, people, we know Japan's a bit messed up at the moment about people's spare time hobbies, but let's not let their neuroses become OURS.) |

That reminds us, do ya guys know that giant sports network ESPN just recently broadcasted an e-sports national college tournament on TV, the Heroes of the Dorm finals?
'Heroes of the Dorm' on ESPN proves eSports are meant for TV ESPN Airs Video Games, Twitter Freaks Out First esports tournament on ESPN baffles its regular viewers Heroes of the Dorm finishes strong on ESPN The prize? Tuition for the rest of the winning team's college career. That's a prize mom and dad would be proud of!
(BTW, the winning team: Univ of California - Berkeley over Arizona State Univ. That's expensive tuition.) |
