Who is Fatal1ty?
 

Just wondering if anyone here knew who this person was...

Onan - do you mean this?

Or, do you mean "Fawlty Towers". :D

No and No.

It's a view into a subculture that may become quite prevalent in the near future.

Okay, can you give me a clue as I have never heard of "Fatal1ty".

(But you got to remember that I'm in Oklahoma.)

CLose. I think he's from Kansas.

He's some 24 year old kid who's been a professional video game player for about five years. Apparently he's the top dog in his chosen field havin pulled in over three hundred grand in the last five years. He's also become world champeen in five dfferent games, an unheard of achievment.

Rather than being a spotty, basement dewlling teenager with a hundred yard stare, he actually seemed quite well spoken and personable and even a little athletically inclined as well.

What's interesting though is that the prediction is that the video game industry is poised to become as popular a spectator sport as baseball or football in the near future if the article I saw could be believed. Unbelievable, perhaps, but then again, grown men hitting a ball with a stick and getting millions for it...?

Time wil tell I suppose, but there is already an MLG - major League Gaming :hmm:

Bit like yerself minus the cat suit then

I followed a series of stories on the BBC web site a while back (I know , "sad git" territory) and this link might help http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4096202.stm
