Get a gaming coach!
July 28th, 2006
They have an article about gaming tutors. Turns out if you want to own, you need to get some insights from kids with crazy mad skilz!
For almost a year, Mr. Taylor has operated a Web site called Gaming-lessons.com where players can book lessons in two games, Microsoft’s “Halo 2″ and Nintendo Co.’s “Super Smash Brothers Melee”, choosing from a dozen instructors (average age: 19). Clients pay between $20 and $65 an hour for individual lessons, depending on the instructor’s skill level and the demand for his services.
Gaming-lessons.com says its youngest “Halo 2″ instructor is 8-year-old New Yorker Victor De Leon III, better known by his online gamer name, Lil Poison, who has given several lessons a month since late last year, fitting the classes in after he has done his homework. His father, also named Victor, says his son has used some of the money he earns from lessons (hourly rate: $25) to buy a hamster, named Cortana after a character in the game.
I guess that is what it will take for me to get back into gaming. The help of an eight year old :-(

If the game you want to get back in is Brood war i can coach you for $5 per hour. Also advice on other personal thins may be given but the price is different.
