Fatal1ty

He's traveled the globe, won several world championships, and made more money than most twenty-somethings will see in a lifetime. Steve Kroft meets Fatal1ty and gets a sense of what it's like being America's most famous "cyber-athlete."

What can I say? Pretty much that there are people who take a lot of time and dedication to gaming, and I can tell you by experience that it pays of in many areas, inside and outside of gaming. However, it's just sort of weird how things are going in reality. For example, trying to find the time to do what you like, and not to be irresponsible by letting go of other aspects of life, like marriage, family, work, etc. Who knows, maybe gaming will be in the sorts of basketball, like nba, or etc, or maybe not, only time can tell. But consider that technology is advancing at such a speed like never before. I don't know, all I can say is that to all gamers out there, remember, life is not a game of challence, it's a game of choices.

Yall know for a fact that everyone enjoys playing games. Video games, PC games, etc. are awesome! If you have something against it then you suck monkey balls cause gaming is the best thing that could ever have happened in this world. I've met my husband through online gaming and we've been happily together since and still enjoying playing games. So gaming should be considered a real sport and even a dateline! And if my fingers turn crooked or I get cancer from it, at least I'll die happy knowing I enjoyed my life.
