The problem is that their skills are being funneled into a useless game instead of being used to do something productive for society.
Sounds kind of like football.

Anti-penn and Northwestern trolling.

As someone who played CS competitively for a couple years, I definitely see where you are coming from. however, playing CoD when living in isla vista? that i dont understand. iv is crazy fun.
oh, and CoD MW2 is the shiz.

i didnt do a very good job here- just trying to give an example of the suggestions i'd make if it were for a job resume. definitely nobody knows/cares about Cyberzone Pennsylvania, World Series of Video Games, etc. that is jabberwocke at best. just focus on the words/ideas that transcend videogaming- leadership, responsibility, communication, collaboration, etc etc
