Shroud explains why he thinks gaming all day isn\u2019t \u201cwasting\u201d life Twitch: ShroudTwitch star Michael \u2018Shroud\u2019 Grzesiek once again touched on his plans for what happens when his gaming career is over after he reflected on possibly \u201cwasting\u201d his youth with games. Although he\u2019s always been known as a lethal FPS player, Shroud has always been one to spread his wings and play pretty much every game out there. He\u2019s spent days grinding in World of Warcraft \u2013 even forking out $13k to make it back home in time for the Blackwing Lair raid when that arrived in WoW Classic. Most recently, he\u2019s been grinding Amazon Games\u2019 New World, plunging hours upon hours into grinding and tasks. For some, that might be a total waste of time, but not for Shroud. During his October 4 stream, the former CS:GO star had a bit of a reflection moment when he joked that he was a \u201closer\u201d for spending so much playing different games. That comment intrigued some viewers who wanted to see if he was serious or not, so quickly asked if he was wasting his youth grinding out games like New World. \u201cNot really, honestly,\u201d Shroud quickly replied. \u201cI\u2019m kind of like opposite to the way a lot of people think, like, I think the youth part of me is for gaming and get as much gaming in now when I love it most and then when I get older just dial it back,\u201d he added. \u201cI think that\u2019s a little bit different to the way most people probably think.\u201d Shroud has never shied away from talking about his gaming future, saying he\u2019ll stream for as long as he has a passion for gaming and if his viewers stick around. Though, when it comes time to finally retire the mouse and keyboard for good, he might have some extravagant ideas in mind. \u201cI\u2019m not a very active person, so my activity in my \u2018youth\u2019 comes from gaming,\u201d Shroud added. \u201cWhen I\u2019m older I probably won\u2019t have the mental fortitude or capacity to play games as much as I do now. So, I\u2019m burning all that time and mental energy now while I\u2019m young, and then when I\u2019m older, I\u2019ll probably just chill, go f**king buy an island and f**k off.\u201d Of course, with this being Shroud, you can never quite tell when he\u2019s joking or being serious, but fans wouldn\u2019t put it past him to completely disappear when he\u2019s ready to say goodbye. Though, that\u2019s unlikely to be anytime soon. The 27-year-old is still dominating in any game he picks up, and his fans can\u2019t get enough of Twitch streams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
