Fair play to the guy, he must be making a mint off endorsement deals, he has a deal with abit as well doesn't he for gfx cards and mobos etc

Am I the only one that noticed, Little Poison was 7, Playing Halo, a 15?

CBS will probably be blaming all violence on video games next week!

poses an interesting question

how much of your gaming talent is down to talent, and how much is down to practice

People like fatal1ty have natural talent which you can't learn, IMO

Most of us could practice full time and not get as good as the real pro players.

completely agree, i mentioned this is another thread the other day, but some people just dont have the brain for some FPS twitch games, even games like CSS. awareness and responsiveness is a must if you wanna be the best

If you have a look on the creative site it doesn't actually look like THAT bad a mouse. Certainly spec wise it seems to be up there with the best and it doesnt look quite as ugly as in that pic above.

however this (link below) came out 1st looks a lot more ergonomic and in has the good old logitech plasterd on it...(no complaints there) .....the whole point of this is that I realy dnt like him he probably is a nice guy and well done for getting money out of it im sure all of us do its just that he seems to be picking the crapiest of products to me.....

but would you really watch a 60 minute video about him?

mmj_uk · 24 Jan 2006 at 17:48

He seems to be a nice level-headed bloke, not the immature big headed prat i imagined he'd be.

Still all those graphic tweaks no wonder sometimes i get pasted in online games, i prefer to just play at the best settings i can.

bah, i bet hes a n00b at cs

As it happens, he joined the (at the time) best team in the world, but left due to the dissatisfaction of being in a team compared to winning it on your own. Plus the money is better for single.

You don't need to tell me that the G5 is a good mouse, I own the G7 myself and love it. Just because the G5/7 are amazing doesnt mean the creative one is bad though does it...

who were they?

Robert · 24 Jan 2006 at 18:44

Probably 3D (not entirely sure).

Dj_Jestar · 24 Jan 2006 at 20:06

aye, team 3D.

He had an interview up on thecpl.com but it's been removed I think. He was in T3D ~y2k

icehot · 25 Jan 2006 at 01:26

Fair play to jonathon, really wish him the best.

aceface57 · 25 Jan 2006 at 03:22

Thanks for the link that was really intersting, maybe this is an insight as to what is going to come. Pro Gamers akin to football players? Im not so sure.

Sone · 25 Jan 2006 at 13:47

what to Thresh or whatever he was called (the one who won Carmacks Ferrari), no other pro gamer comes close to him imho

Sorry mate, that post makes no sense to me at all. I gather someone won a ferrari, but that's all.

Mana · 25 Jan 2006 at 14:00

Thresh was one of the first celebrity gamers and he was made famous cos of quake/quakeworld...

i think it was the first quakecon that he won john carmacks ferrari for winning the quake 1 tourny there. He was awesome in his time and came across as a really cool guy in real life.

I like fatality cos in the interviews he always comes across as down to earth and humble. he has a nice attitude.

DanMc07 · 25 Jan 2006 at 15:09

Thnks for the link! herd quite a bit about him, I thought he was dutch before I saw that video

But hey, learn something new every day
