File this under some crazy-ass-bull-shit. At least I think so. Pretty much, it takes all the fun out of actually playing the game or games just to be a master of them. What is this madness I speak of? Game Trainer has just started up that offers in-game tutoring sessions online for a bunch of the today's most popular games. All for the small amount of $30 an hour. WHAT!? $30 fucking an hour? That is some crazy-ass-bull-shit.
So now that I mentioned it, what does this mean for the gaming community? Probably nothing. At least too much. First, if someone has that amount of cash to dump into a company to teach them how to play games, they most likely have enough to just chill around and play in the first place. But the other thing is that it is just another more acceptable form of power-leveling characters or getting good gamer tags and such. Just makes them feel better about it in the end I guess. But I think it is just ridiculous that there is actually a market for this kind of thing. I guess there might go the leveling services that the Koreans have been locking down.
Would you pay to be a baddass is the only question I guess I will leave you with. Oh and, here are the games you can expect to see people possibly pwning more at soon.
