PRO Gamers Logic

"PRO Gamers Logic" is the 86th video in the MillenniaThinker series, following "You Will Never Be A Man".

Plot
A child is shown excitedly opening a Christmas gift, which turns out to be a first-generation PlayStation console. The child sits at his desk, with a shelf behind him, and a window showing a neighboring child from the house across the street playing with a soccer ball. Time passes with the child remaining at his desk. Items from the shelf such as coloring pencils, action figures, and books are replaced one by one with video game disc cases. While the child gains weight, allows less light to enter the room, gains facial and body hair, and eventually grows into an adult, time passes for the neighboring child as well, and he is shown having a girl over at his place, getting married, and having a child of his own.

The now-gamer adult is shown defeating a player in a shooter game. While the opposing player tries to offer Gamer compliments, telling him "GG" and stating the match was a good one, Gamer taunts his opponent, telling him he got bodied, calling him a scrub and a noob. As the opponent tells Gamer, "you are good", Gamer agrees, saying he is a god at the game, and mockingly asks his opponent if there is anything he is good at. The opponent readily replies in the affirmative, asking Gamer, "What about you?". This gives Gamer a pause. The opponent regrettably ponders if Gamer wasted his youth, relationships, and time to build up skill for a game, stating he truly hopes Gamer did not do this "just to impress someone on the Internet". Tthe opponent then condescendingly says, "But hey- at least you're good at a video game, am I right?", and as Gamer's hands tremble, he replies, "I'm still better than you".

The ending quote reads, "When in pursuit of recognition we fall into the trap of false promises and achievements".

Analysis
For men like Gamer, the sad reality of their life is that they have no reality in their life. They have sunk into a fantasy and made it their reality and pride themselves on the meaningless accomplishments they make in said fantasies. Gamer has allowed gaming to take over his life and become it, instead of using gaming in a healthy, sparing way, as a way to have a little something to entertain yourself with on a day off with a few friends. While Gamer's opponent was completely dismissive of having lost, and nonchalantly noted that Gamer was decent at the game, Gamer aggresively bashed his opponent and came off in a manner that clearly showed that the victory was a source of pride. Gamer's opponent knows that the victory means next to nothing in the bigger scope of life, and has bigger things going on that worrying about winning a match in a game. Gamer, however, knows nothing in life except for his games, and has achieved nothing truly worth of pride in life. But hey, like Gamer said- he's still "better".
