Bonnie Burton: Halo Tutor

Wired reports that professional gamer Bonnie Xena Burton, 15, a member of the PMS clan, is making a killing, I mean, a living teaching older men the "art of pwnage." Apparently the style of teaching over at gaming-lessons is good enough to attract celebrity clients like NBA player Luke Walton and Richard Jefferson, and rappers Lil Dru and Moka Blast.

When Bonnie isn't competing professionally, she earns $25 an hour teaching/helping players how to better their game. The job definitely pays more than baby-sitting. Well, it is still sorta like baby-sitting, only it's older men who are in need of some skillz training, and not overactive four-year-olds.

When you think about it would you rather learn Halo from a fat smelly "hardcore" dude that looks like this:

a bit too harcore...


Or would you rather learn/practice Halo with a (we apologize in advance to those who find the term gamer-girl offensive) 15 year old gamer-girl ? Common sense says...

Yeah that image wasn't really necessary. And QJ's little throw-in's here and there are not any where humorous at all, in fact it makes me want to come here less. It makes it seem as if the people hired for this website have no real sense of any kind of journalism or just reporting news what so ever.

Get a life guys.

Suck ass, you are talking about that game with auto-aim, correct? I do truthfully hope you feel superior talking s*** over the internet (speaking of no testicles). I really did want an x360 but if the majority of the people on Live is like you then screw that.
