Um - can anyone explain Gabe's second post today? The one that went up first?

Don't know much about Fatal1ty...apparently he's a dick? Wikipedia doesn't mention that...

When they ask how I died, tell them:
Still angry.

    It's a spoof on a press release about some other gaming convention. Check Kotaku.

    There's a thread down in the PAX forum about it. Apparently, guy's a bit of a douche. And apparently, the E4 folks are mockable for highlighting his appearance.

    The "E for All" convention had a press release exclaiming how awesome Fatalonety is and how he's going to be "featured" at the "E for All" convention.

    This was Gabe's hilarious response.

    Guy might be a douche, but his headphones are pretty comfy.

    In reality paid endorsements are just fucking stupid. I'm just glad we're seeing it more so in the gaming industry than sports.

    He was doing the commentary on the Championship Gaming Series that was on Sky One last week. He appeared quite douchy and really don't contribute anything except when they were playing Counterstrike.

    Anyone who describes gamers as "athletes" is automatically a douche though.

    Fatal1ty.

    See what he did there?


    I agree, Fatal1ty is a pretty big douche. I may own a Creative X-fi Fatal1ty but that has nothing to do with the branding and all to do with the fact that my motherboards on-board sound was being shitty with Oblivion.
