A for obvious reasons. I made this poll because I was talking to one of my friends the other day and he says he cares more about video games then things that happen in real life, he is no longer my friend.

That dude needs to get a grip on reality if that is true. Sure I care about games, but real life is far more important.
" I chose A, but ironically I want to be a video game journalist when I "grow up" "
That's what I thought I wanted to do for a while, it'll pass, trust me bro. "
As another one of you guys (same age group), I'm inclined to agree with Emandude on this point. I also believed that's what I wanted to do... now not so much.
And also, my initial reaction to seeing the responses was "Loaded, poll is loaded!", and answered the obvious one of A because I don't care about being pro and all in video games, but I differ from many because I actually value video games more than almost any other aspect in my life.
Considering success is dependent on what you deem to be success, someone could say that to be successful in the 'real world' they'd have to be successeful at video games. Not quite so farfetched now that games are becoming more like sports, and competetitions and tournaments are held with heaps of cash and stuff.

yeah, what they said. though I wanted to be one when i was much younger, and it passed.
I could care less about being successful in video games. Even if I'm not very good I just want to have fun. Being successful in real life wouldn't be so bad either.
I want to be successful at life so I can afford to buy video games. I mean, it's kind of hard playing Dragon Age when you're living in a box.
But I do care a great deal about games. More so than, say, my social life or my over-all health. People annoy me and exercise makes more sore, but video games make me happy.
It depends what you mean by success in the real world but above all other things I want to be happy in the real world and make the people around me happy.
has to be in the real world, games are meant for fun, life is fuckin life, if your not successful enough then you wont be able to afford a nice big tv with surround sound, consoles or all the games that you would want to play

OK, well maybe for you it will but for me it never has. Being a games jouno is the bomb baby, don't let anyone tell you different.
You get to see product launches and drink beers with hot womens, you get to play beta code of games that may never see the retail shelf. You get to PLAY GAMES FOR A LIVING.
Well if you were successful in the real world, wouldn't that make you naturally successful at video games? Everyone knows people love to hang around people who pwn noobs.

Oh, so THAT'S why there are no games journalists in existance, they all passed that phase.
Oh, no, wait.
I personally would tell natetodamax to go for it and wish him all the luck in pursuing his career choice.
" Isn't the answer obvious? Anybody who doesn't choose the one I did is obviously a loser. "
This man has pretty much summoned up just about every opinion on the Internet.
@Emandudeguyperson: Is your friend obsessed about video games? Is it hurting his real life? Please expand more on what exactly do you define as important in life?
@Mordukai: Yes he's pretty obsessed, and the things that are important in life to me are getting an education, accomplishing your goals in life, being happy and surrounding yourself with good people, and of course stay physically fit.
