It looks like another one of mom and dad's warnings has bitten the dust.

Let's meet Robert Schill. Robert is a pro-gamer who spends his days playing video games at his house in Central Florida. He's got bankers hours, 9-5, and when he's done, his roommate takes the 2nd shift until 1am, when finally a third roommate plugs in for the overnight shift. They are the featured stars of StreamerHouse on Twitch.tv.

Would you believe thousands of people watch these guys play? One year his web channel had more than 35 million hits.

They will argue that people watching gamers play their trade is no different than people watching sporting events..etc.

So I'm just going to add this to the list of things my parents were wrong about. Seems there is gold sitting in that there plush couch with a game controller in your hand. The only drawback is that you'd have to shower and wear something other than just your boxers.
