I think the funniest part was the guy who went up against "Fatal1ty" in the UT tourney semifinal - he was talking all kinds of smack, and even his friends were sure he would lose. He ended up getting his ass kicked, which made it even funnier.

WTF happened to the music? Its just a pop-culture channel now for kids... like frikkin Nickelodeon with tits

Yea he's got the mullet/long hair going on.
Its hard to top the Order of Light when it comes to gaming...
The Golden Tee guy, he's an alcoholic.

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.

I have to agree w/ the comment on the Order of Light. It's that much worse that they have a name for themselves.

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

I remember there was a guy in Thailand or something that played CS for 2 1/2 days straight and died of some heart problem.

I remember a guy I know playing MUD for 72 hours straight without sleep or breaks (except for getting food/drink/toilet) and showed up an hour later than usual again the day after that to continue mudding.

There was someone in my dorm back when i was in college that mudded all throughout his first quarter and promptly failed and dropped out by the 2nd quarter. He was mudding on 4 seperate muds at the same time. 4 windows - quite pathetic.

I actually did see this. Other than the "fatal1ty" guy that show was basically just "the secret life of utter losers". The Order of Light guys were especially pathetic....who keeps a sh*t job for years on end just to have more time to game?

if your ever to a LAN it is just non stop gaming.

I'll watch the program, when its on.

i saw something like this a couple years ago. wasnt on mtv though. it featured q3 clans. its good stuff.

Id like to see a LAN based game that is Fighter jets....more Arcade type play than similation though. Like Top Gun online?

I thought it was funny they called themselves the "Order of Light" when all they do through the daylight hours is stay inside and play DOA beach volleyball.

299megs btw, worth watching if your a gamer..

Thanks for posting that, I'm getting it now!

 

[idNut]

It's okay but there are no id games being played and I don't really care too much for Golden Tee. Billy is pretty cool though with Pac Man.

Dammit Fausto1, don't insult me becuase I have more gaming time than you.

 

[TallBill]

He's making pretty good money at it right now. $15K for winning the worlds. He normally takes home $200-$1000 a month from the online tournament. Plus, money games can get brutal up there. I'd say he rarely comes home from the bar a loser. Then, there are usually 4-6 live tournaments a year that he usually does fairly well in ($200-$2000/ea). His Memphis showing was not typical. He also gets money for apperances. He's doing pretty well for himself right now.

 

[TallBill]

But what happens when the golden tee tournaments stop? his only other means to provide for himself is professional golf

Even if i was a professional gamer like fatality or the golden tee man, i think i'd still work a regular job... at least part time.

 

[idNut]

Is it me or is gaming just queer anymore? Id is the only reason I'm still into games. Console games are lame and multiplayer FPS's are too competitive. Everything is becoming dull to me except for reading and writing. I hope games come to an end pretty soon.

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?

yea

Gaming is dumb.
