This is the nightmare come true. Nothing hurts more than going online and getting whupped by some one who clearly has the voice of a person the fraction of your age. The New York Times yesterday did a story on one of their East Coast natives who is N-I-N-E and is considered by the Guiness Book of World Records as the world's youngest professional Gamer. Victor M. De Leon III has been playing on the professional circuit for the past five years (which, if my math serves me well made him four when he started), and he has won thousands of dollars in prizes and endorsements. I know for a fact I couldn't tie my shoelaces properly in the first grade, which would have made me 6 and this kid went on 60 Minutes as one of "the seven most amazing youngsters".
