Well THAT took long enough!

Well... it finally happened... MLG is coming to regular tv! CBS is taking on a Starcraft 2 stream in the Fall. For a gamer like myself, this is a huge deal. For us... it means we're finally not such outcasts of society anymore. And yet, at the same time... I'll miss it a lot. I didn't mind being made fun of for being a gamer, or a nerd. While others would take it as a taunt, I take it as a compliment, no matter the intention of the person saying it. I took pride in being different and damn good at what I do. But now, it's wont be so unique anymore. It'll be something anyone, anywhere can watch whether they're into it or not. It'll be like other stuff on tv. A good chunk of the views and ratings will be from people who are just watching due to boredom and not actual interest. But I guess I will take pride in saying the same thing here, as I do about society. I am part of the last good part of society (in this case, gamers) left. Because, in the future, everyone will be working off of the benefits we worked for. They won't have worked for it themselves, and a lot of them won't even care. They'll all be dumb, and not as amazing as we were. They'll take it for granted, and assume we always had those privileges... like kids do today with cell phones, or internet. When a person says "I remember dial-up internet..." people of the same generation or general era would recall that it sucked, but we now look back on it with nostalgia for some reason... Kids who never had dial-up would say "what was that?" and when we explain it, they'd laugh at how we miss slow internet connections. Idk how to explain it really, but long story short, I'm both happy and sad.
