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.
