That's also how the FiringSquad site started. The first guy that won the first Quake tournament and hence John Carmack's Ferrari got lots of endorsements and started his own review site. It's a cool job, but lots of practice to stay on top.

Fatality, I think, was the first video game player to break the $1 million dollar mark in a year or in a career(he is in his 20's).
HUH:ohmy: WTF :ohmy:...A million bucks for playing games on line :ohmy: Is this a great country or what! :cheer:
Or.... is this why alkida really hates us
I looked at the X-fi Fatal1ty carton and this guys name is apparently Jonathan Wendel. Do you know what type/kind of games he plays to make all this money?
Is it possible he'll be checking out Norb's new game?

Here is his Wiki page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnathan_Wendel
I was wrong he has only won $500,000 so far.

According to that Wiki link estabu provided, this guy's claim to fame are FPS games. So unless the new game is full blown FPS or maybe incorporates a FPS feature something like i mentioned in another thread, he'll probably never experience commanding a Civil War Army.
Also interesting,
Fatal1ty is a trademark of his own company which i'm sure Creative Labs had to shell out big bucks for his endorsement of their sound card. He's even been on 60 minutes and MTV.
This is all news to me...as i said i'm new to all this MP stuff!
There you go Norb! Shell out some probably big bucks to get this guy's endorsement and his picture on the new game's carton.
I know, easy for me to say!:dry:
