He bought the guys raffle ticket for 200 bucks. The raffle ticket was the winning ticket. So:
200=ticket=Car to shorten the equation 200=car

Largest nerd party in the world, I think they jack off to USB cables and vintage ataris an shit.

It's apparently the worlds biggest PC gaming contest. Some of the pro gamers that attend are making over 100k just playing video games and promoting products, some much less.

Unfortunately there are some requirements for such a job:

1. You MUST be a virgin
2. You MUST be pale (any sign of sun contact to the skin for longer periods of time than it takes you to go from your house to your car is prohibited)
3. You MUST have a dedicated room to either Star Trek, Star Wars, or some other intergallactic space journey show/movie. (Spaceballs does not count, cause that movie was actually funny)

Could you imagine sitting in front of a computer for eight hours a day, training?

For $300K I'd sit in front of my computer for 8 hours a day in a straight jacket.
