My apologies if this has been brought up already. Buuut, what the hell is going on with this Fatal1ty crap? First i've noticed the ABIT mobo under that name when it was released however the fact that this label is on the Creative X-Fi. What gives? I hope people don't actually think that just because their product has a fatal1ty (elite omgz)branding on it, that they're actually going to be uber (ew) l337.
 
I agree with that as well. A buddy of mine claimed his ABIT mobo (Fatal1ty) was the greatest evAr. I laughed and told him to go mod his rice mobile (civic si)with more crappy looking decals. :\

As I can see the fatal1ty X-Fi has 64mb of ram(As well as the platinum edition) for increased capacity for sound bytes when needed by developers. But I don't understand why not just label it the gamer edition.
 
yeah its like who ever thought that a 'celebrety' endoresment would do any good

and whats up with this marketing stuff anyways

Not just any ram....


X-RAM! That's so radical & extreme (cue 80s guitar solo in the background)!
 
he does have a point... it does have an "X" and thus automatically makes it appeal to all the teenagers..... i mean, coem on, the "X-games" they are the most bodacious, rad, thrashing event of the year! :rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
I have sworn that I would rather shove sand up my ass than own some 133t,uber fatal1ty branded thing. I ve said this before, but it chaps my ass that this guy actually makes money from this????? The X-Ram may someday be useable but I will hold out until then with my"xtreme music" sound card.....(dont really like that name either but at least it aint fata1) On the other hand I am sorta jealous that this fatality guy actually makes money doing this sort of thing..... :mad:
 
what's the dude's background? i'm assuming he won some gaming tournament or something, but why is everyone all on his nuts as opposed to anyone else that wins a game tournament?
and putting some nerd dude on your marketing materials to try to sell crap to other nerd dudes is not the best idea - they'd be better off if they called it some other xtreme name and put some chick with big boobs on the front. who wouldn't support that?
 
Why is there so much hate for the guy? You dont know him. Just look at the product...look past the marketing crap and make a decision...do you want it or not.

I guess the point is.....why this dude????WTF does his endorsement have to do with anything......He didnt engineer it, he probably cant spell engineer. But because he plays games all day his endorsement is somehow "golden"????? It would be like Dick Butkus endorsing lipstick......odd but pointless. At least Mickey Mantle's name was on a baseball bat.
I like the thought of the chick with big boobs.....at least that would get your attention. (i am not a sexist) :D

Imagine what he tells femme's when they ask him what he does for a living. That of course being the situation he actually comes out of his little Gnoll gaming cavern. No offense to any religious gamers..But my ex-roommie used to stink up the place since all he would do is just play CS/WoW/UT.Then I got a new dorm roommie. And it was a different dude, same habits. So I said fuck that. And left..
 
FPS doug endorsed product would be sweet, lol....The BOOM! HEADSHOT! edition.
 
As said earlier, it's just marketing...I'll bet half the people who buy one don't even know it's a person. I actually purchased it because I had the money and if the Ram gets utilized later on, maybe it's a good thing.

If you ask me, the fact that he could turn gaming prowess into something this marketable is impressive. Hat's off to him for that.

True. I wish I could get a gig like that based on my prowess for posting on the forums all day while at work.

Seriously...I sit here in my classes all day long and post on here. I wish I'd get some massive PR deal for avoiding my physics labs. :D

Yes I agree, but it still chaps my ass.....maybe I could market the magoo gaming glasses????? "Hey friends....take that 60Hz strain off your eyes.....use the new magoo gaming glasses! You'll be glad you did." HARHARHARHAR! :D

No no, that sounds lame. But if you had to hook the glasses up to a car battery and the box had a picture of you on the back some lightning bolts in the background and some mortal kombat looking text saying something about increasing your FPS and blowing away the competition, then you would have a hit and the product would spawn a thousand threads about how to mod the glasses to run off of a turbine for a 3.5% better performance or how to add an extra lense and grow a 3rd eye for better peripheral vision.
 
Don't forget the canisters of N2 to keep the glasses "stable"..

I can imagine watching the 10 o'clock news saying how hundreds of people were found dead after their "magoo super uber l337" glasses exploded while watching porn.
 
I am thinking of covering the fatal1ty label on my card when it arrives.

I just want the 64M card...don't care whos name is on it except that good ol'John boy fatal1ty just seems a little too big headed for my taste.
