Ever seen American Idol? There are people who practice singing for years but it doesn't mean they'll become better singers... If I had aspirations of becoming a police officer, what is wrong with me playing the role of a cop and taking down drug dealers in a video game? I've been playing games ever since Mario on the original Nintendo. Played games throughout my childhood and still occasionally do. Yet, I've still managed to get a full scholarship to a University in another city in which not only my tuition is covered, but food and rent as well.
