i like how they are trying to mainstream videogaming and giving it more exposure...but i think they are making it look stupid. that wendel guy is too much. hes a legend cause he is one of the first people to be known because of video games. get over it.

A "Legend?"

John Wanye, Muhammad Ali, Nolan Ryan, Wayne Gretzky, Martin Scorsese.

Those are legends.

If only I had DirecTV.......but I don't. Fatal1ty is getting pretty old. He's like that Ken Jennings guy from Jeopardy....yea he kicked everyone's ass for a while, but now he just needs to disappear.
