as muchy as dislike the guy (due to his ugly mug
) he is doing alot to promote online gaming in general. The only thing that i really cant stand, is companies emblazoning their products with the fatal1ty emblem and charging double the price for it P.S. Nick you suck

He really is very, very good.
Even to the point of playing one handed, using MB2 for forward and not strafing at all... We even had him playing holding one hand in the air... and he STILL obliterated me. Muchos respect to the guy. Still is was a lot of fun and, a bit that was sadly cut due to me excessively cursing, was when he said I was actually quite good... no, really, he did say I was quite good... Honest! |

I like the fact that you played the map he probably likes best.
Was that the only one his PR team would let you use ? ;D ------------------------------------

Nah, he was happy to play any map I wanted.
I knew he was going to pwn me so we stayed with that one. It was modded so both players had every weapon on respawn, but that was it. With hindsight, it might've been better for me if I'd gone for a map with more tunnels but hey, the outcome would've been the same. |

I must admit I'm envious of you getting the opportunity... there is no way I could have concentrated on an interview at the same time and done myself justice though.

Hehe, there were several times when I ran off the map or just forgot what I was doing when trying to either remember my next question or respond to one of his answers...
Of course, it was second nature to him and he just carried on as usual. |

Havent seen the vid yet (will wait till i get home) but nice one for the opportunity.
Am a little jealous, although I am under no illusions of doing any good at all in a similar situation. Although I too am slightly dubious about Fatility branded merchandise (i refuse to type the 1's), I agree about the idea of professional gaming being put more to the fore. Well done Nick, look forward to watching you in action.

Playing games all day is fun, but not too good for the old waste line.
