5. Wow, then you HAVE to see that movie.

It will open your eyes about Billy Mitchell, professional arcade gamers, and...dare I say it? LIFE ITSELF.

6. "game" for a living?

like pro athletes, or pro poker players, race horse owners? Totally useless professions, yet they can pay remarkably well.

There are even some pro chess players and pool players who can make a decent living from the games.

And pro bowlers and golfers, are those games? or sports? Either way, there's money in it.

So why not pro pac-man players?

If only I hadn't wasted my college years by going to classes ...
