Link 1 Link 2 Major League Gaming has signed 5 people to $250,000 contracts to play video games for 3 years. Thing is, they're playing Halo 2 apparently. Pretty weak if you ask me. _______________ "You can't get Windows on a Mac because the drivers are not compatible." --- Some dude from the Geek Squad "So if you have quad-core, you have four times the RAM, right?" --- Some guy at Best Buy This post was edited by DarthMike on Jun 26 2006 09:24pm. |

What do you think they'd do if you broke your hand or arm or something? they wouldn't be very happy methinks. _______________ I have beaten The Internet. The end guy was hard.

I highly doubt they are working 8 hours a day, at least not very often. I'm sure they have to practice to keep on their game, but that can't eat up more than 2-3 hours. _______________ "You can't get Windows on a Mac because the drivers are not compatible." --- Some dude from the Geek Squad "So if you have quad-core, you have four times the RAM, right?" --- Some guy at Best Buy |

8 hours a day working like a normal job... after 3 years straight. wouldn't they be kinda burnt out some. seriously. that long staring at a screen.. fingers bashing away.. you'd get major RSI. do they get holiday pay and penalty rates for working on weekends? _______________ .Lag Bro to Xanatos.

That's some pretty sucky pay. No way would I slave away at games for 3 years for only that much money. Video game testers get more money than that. _______________ slorp |
