    playing a game or making someone laugh? Well, professional athletes/ entertainers do, but do they really deserve it? In my opinion, they do deserve it.

    I’m not a sports guy, I’ll play a few rounds of whatever when my friends want to get together. But I don’t have any interest in being a fan of professional or even college level sports. Their wins have nothing to do with me and at the end of the day I’m just another consumer. I have friends who “live for these moments” even though they occur often. They pay big money to attend events; as fans, they paint their faces and torsos, while piling on multiple layers of licensed apparel. The play-offs,…

In the game, I was able to design and build the most opulent and expensive houses that…
