Dude wins 150 grand playing video games

Recommended Posts

Nice article. Hmmm, if I was any better at video games, I could have made a career out of it! Alas, the casual gamer in me isn't that good. :)

Reading the article made me remember that back in the early 80's there was a 1/2 hour game show on TV with 3 contestents.If I remember correctly,after answering a question correctly(arcade game related)you had your choice of machine to play.All three would play and the one with the highest points within a specific time frame won the round.In the end the final winner got some money and game related prizes.The program didn't last very long. :( But I enjoyed it while it lasted...........

Not a bad way to make a living.  And that referee has a pretty sweet beard.

This kid Fatal1ty has been FPS hotshit for a while now. Both MTV and G4TV have profiled him. If I was in a tournament against him I'd just resign and shake my hand rather than get a humiliating ass-whupping. Not that I don't get enough of them anyway - I'm just not that good at FPS. I suppose that's why I only play games when I can get opponents over in front of the big screen and not on X-Box Live. In 10-15 years though there will be a crop of superdominant FPS players from all the kids who are born now and grow up playing it their whole life.

Yeah, the only FPS I can stand for more than a few minutes is GoldenEye, and then only multiplayer. It seems like all the new games are either FPS or sports titles. Kind of depressing, in my opinion. I was also kind of wondering if that guy frequents The Elite. Those guys are pretty insane, as well.

Where have you guys been? This guy has been making a living off playing torunaments for a few years now. He has been famous for it since the early Counter-Strike days at least. He really started getting some attention around the time UT2k3 was released.
