How do I become a serious video gamer?

For example, what games do I need to play, or beat, in order to catch up with other gamers. I already have all of the major gaming consoles. Also, what kind of information do I need to know?How do I become a serious video gamer?I'd say playing Halo, the ORIGINAL Halo on Legendary is very good practice. I'm assuming you mean FPS. First person shooters, everything else is easy.



Multiplayer, hard difficulties, and try some B12 vitamins.

1. Spend all of your spare time playing computer games %26amp; playing games at your local arcade

2. Ditch your friends to play your precious games %26amp; try not to socialize too much (why socialize when you could be playing electronic games %26amp; beating your highest score?)

3. If forced to socialize, talk about games the entire time %26amp; exclaim how fabulous they are! (don't forget to mention you beat the dragon with a MOUSE! LOL!!!)

4. Wag school to go to the arcade (when parents ask about your grades tell them your highest score on a game!)How do I become a serious video gamer?i don't understand why you would really want to, i mean trust me i used to be sorta.. haha.. but pretty much just online and all the major games people are playing etc.. games of the year would be good games like Batman arkham asylum assassins creed 2, halo games, left 4 dead 2 also just keep up with E3 information and VGA's
1.) Move back in with your parents - no serious video gamer has a cool house.

2.) Dump your girlfriend - You and me both know she was a noob anyways, you are way to 1337 for her.

3.) Open a subscription to World Of Warcraft, even though its not a console game, you should play it because it makes you pwn other gamers.

4.) Give up on anything else in life, like making money, paying bills, holding down a job, and just sit down, get fat, and play video games.How do I become a serious video gamer?I'd say playing Halo, the ORIGINAL Halo on Legendary is very good practice.

lol dont listen to evan.. .obviously he's never heard of MLG or seen the money they make, and how ALL of them have girlfriends, and few are fat. Unlike his brother. we'll call his brother DJ... Fatman



But ya, you'd just have to play ALL game types, RPG's,RTS',FPS etc. Whether or not you like them. Gotta study and learn up on all this stuff.



btw MLG players take home anywhere between 25k to 100k in ONE TOURNAMENT
Pretend you hate it, like oh man, I am this big dude that is so short and hates to have to show you how it is really done. Just play video games until that is how it is, then go oh yeah, I get paid.How do I become a serious video gamer?
As I am shooter type the most popular games at the moment are Modern Warfare 2 (multi platform) and Uncharted 2 (PS3). Some other games that I recommend are Assassins Creed 2 (Xbox 360), Battlefield 1943 (Xbox 360 download) and Plants vs. Zombies (PC).
Halo and world of warcraft. Battlefield 2 is awesome i used to play it religously until i found this website
I started out with RE 5, and then moved on to Gears of War, then to Halo. I played Kingdom Hearts all the way through to figure out RPG's.
