MLG Comes to TV

Professional Video Gaming Set for TV Debut

MLG (Major League Gaming) has struck a deal with USA Network to air seven hour-long episodes this fall featuring Halo 2 and Smash Brothers Melee pro video game tournaments. MLG has been around for a little while, but this will take their recognition beyond video game junkies and pseudo-junkies like myself.

I am intrigued and look forward to watching this pan out to see if it catches on as they hope it will. I really think that, if done right, this could catch on and garner the interest of even those who don't play video games all that much.

Honestly, I'm jealous...making money to play video games, that's always been a dream job that I never thought existed.
