Yes, everything can be broken down to basics, but the scope of law or medicine dwarfs the scope of video game playing the same way the universe dwarfs a grain of sand.

They just aren't even comparable.
As someone who has actually graduated from law school, passed the bar and been a practicing lawyer for a few years now I can assure you that is not the case -- I find gaming (in particular 18xx train games and MMOs) a hell of a lot more challenging than law.

Law is all about how much fucking time are you willing to spend at work.

As for surgery it depends on what kind, and they're mainly butchers anyway. Being able to communicate normally with patients and have clinical insight are far more difficult things to be successful in.

But yeah you can simplify everything to just "becoming good by doing it over and over again" and have a "talent for something".

What is skill ? lolz0r

Is Vanguard going to do that thing when you can buy a $2.00 CD to play for like 12 days?

I'm now considering waiting for a price drop on Vanguard. I'm a budget gamer, so $50 + Gamecard is a bit on the high side.

Hopefully no expansions anytime soon.

You can buy a 10-day trial for $3.00 from cdkeys -- would have to endure a 16 hour download though.

Grinding in law (document review or due diligence) is worse cause there's not even a chance of a decent drop or named spawn now and then.
