Mostly because when it comes down to gaming alone, that's the truth.

Now everyone stop posting about AMD vs Intel and concentrate on figuring out WTF Fatal1ty is trying to do in that pic. Looks like he's trying to push a turtlehead.

- M4H

Looks like he's taking a dump to me.
The guy sure has a huge fvcking adams apple...

More people will buy Intel boards though, because all those big numbers look so appealing. I don't think anyone with extensive hardware knowledge will get it, unless of course they simply won't go AMD. A lot of people will buy that board, simply because the best gamer in the world uses it.

Fatal1ty loks like he's a lost member of the Icy Hot Stuntaz in that pic. In fact, his new board is so riced out that I think the Stuntaz may actually have had a hand in designing it.

Either you guys are a bunch of old men jealous that a teenager can beat the snot out of you in a childish game, or you're a bunch of teenagers who can't pick up chicks and have nothing better to do than sit around and wag your e-penises while calling some dude you don't know and will likely never meet a dork. Besides isn't it a little "queer eye for the straight guy" to be making comments like that based on what he looks like in a picture anyway? Seriously I thought AT was a step above some of the other forums filled with adolescent pissing contests, but you guys have sunken to a new low bashing somebody because of the way they look.

I guess the irony of the platform is that it is an extremely high end board, basically tailor-made for a 3.46GHz P4EE. People aren't gonna buy this board for a 3.2GHz Prescott. Sure, while a P4 is generally inferior to the A64 in gaming on a price/performance scale, the difference is not that big of a deal when you are comparing, say, a 3400+ to a 3.4GHz P4. Yes, the A64 is better, but either will work pretty well, and the price difference is not that big, especially if you're getting a sweet blowout special for Dell or something. But if you are looking at the high end, why would you even look at Intel? Their 3.46GHz is SUBSTANTIALLY behind the FX-55, a chip that is $200 cheaper, not even factoring in the price of good DDR2 memory. And the video card? An X700XT? It's not a bad card, in fact, it's pretty neck in neck with the 6600GT, the card I'm gonna get, but they're not targeting the right market. If they really wanted to market to the high-end entusiast, they should have made an nForce4 SLI board with and a 6800GT or Ultra (X800XT would work, to, but not for SLI). Then again, who knows, they still might do it later on. I just think the marketing is mismatched. The board is an extremely high end board, but the platform is only competitive at the low end. The video card is midrange, so unless they can keep the price down, I don't think it will sell well, because midrange people want value, not slightly better performance and much higher cost. If they want an expensive, tricked out board, then it would sell better at the high end, for those people who want the best card no matter the cost.

As for the dude, I'm too busy at my REAL JOB to have time to think of a good joke about a guy who sits around and plays video games 12 hours per day for his "job." BTW, how can you devote that much time to one or 2 games? I guess some people think it's devotion, I am more inclined to think it's pretty obsessive-compulsive and kinda pathetic.

Edit: I'm talking about the review of the Fatal1ty motherboard that Anandtech just did.

cuz ABit paid him good money?

Why do so many people think he's a loser because he plays games all day? Why is it any different than doing anything else 8 hrs. a day? By that definition, the entire workforce are losers. Pathetic? More pathetic than than a basketball player going through physical training and practicing on the court all day? One's gaming and one's basketball. What's the difference? Is one harder than the other? Is one more competitive than the other? The only difference is salary and ass.
So in summary, yes he looks like an asshat in that picture, and no he isn't necessarily a loser (but most likely is).

He's incredibly good at what he does, you don't realize the amount of skill it takes to get to where he is. I admire someone who can devote so much time to something and not get bored and lose their commitment.

i only admire people like that when they devote themselves to something that either helps others, or enriches them personally. somehow, i dont htink playing computer games 12 hours a day is enriching his life.


There is nothing cool about sitting in a chair typing commands(if you think about it) for 12 hours.

You're right, there's nothing cool about 3D modeling, game coding, video editing, software design, etc...etc...

we think he's a loser because of his tough guy stance. when he signs a million dollar a year contract then i'll even begin to equate him to an athlete. and yes, i have much more respect for the salary and ass than the highest frags.

give him a break hes just a too young kid that gets too much attention. young girls who are musicians and pose like hookers. rappers who pose as though they were on death row. happens all the time i dont see a reason why this is even worth being discussed. maybe he just had a bad day.
