I usually stray away from the garbage on MTV, but i was flipping through and the mentioned of gaming made me go back.

They did a feature on three "gamers". One guy was the Golden Tee golf world champion. One guy was the guy who played the perfect Pac-Man game a while back. The last guy had the nickname FatalIy, and he competed in an UT2003 tournament and won first place. They also showed this gaming group in Memphis called The Order of the Light, i think.

The show was kind of neat. It was funny to see The Order Of Light people play video games like ALL DAY.

Anyways, did anyone else catch the show?

Nothing unusual there. You can't call yourself a serious gamer if you haven't.

I've seen it a week back.
Any serious gamer know who Fatal1ty is.
He is the best Q3 player and when the tournament switched to UT, He spent time practicing that and won it also.

Lmao. There was about 6 or 7 of us in my dorm room watching this and we would all get a good laugh every time that Pacman guy came on.

Did he ever reveal his master plan that would change the world of gaming?

I was watching this special and they were interviewing gamers who called themselves scary sounding names like Dark Legions of Doom or something. I bet they never bathed either. It was quite sad.

I thought Thresh or whatever was the best Q3 payer in the world?

Tresh is old school. I wonder how he'd do nowadays with more and more people getting into gaming.
Speaking of which, it's on right now on MTV in the West, but I do believe it's over.

Just watched it. I can't believe that the Golden Tee guy made $150,000 in one year!!:Q Those Order of Light guys are uber nerds. At least Golden Tee and Fatality are making a living at gaming and have some ambition in life.

It looked like Billy was playing Centipede when they were talking about his secret stunt that would shock the video game world. Cause we all know that being the world champion of Centipede is the pinnacle of gaming :)
