Im not trying to brag or write an essay on my skilz although they may be
133+ .  But I can type 60 words a minute and some of my gaming buds cant
type worth beans. Basicly it takes drive, natural talent, and even if you
have that you should be trained by the best. You also need to emmerse
yourself in the gameing realm. Learn leet speak, become a gamer not just
temporarily. Wear game tshirts and appeareal. Once you find a favorite
game youll be set because more then ever you will understand what it means
to be a gamer. Take it from a 17 year old hard core leetest gamer. I do my
homework wich is important, i tweak my system, get involved, and once and
in the begining of my gameing venture was taught by a person who i now
hold rain over in another game. Just realize youll be beaten in some and
kick ass in other games. Do what it takes to win. Be cocky. I dont care if
you die 49 times say " Lucky shot" this is your chance to be arrogent.
Make sure you can back your checks though.
