wow. look at all the haters. ^^^^ Apparently weatherman is still grounded though. Having met Wendel at a couple tournies, I can honestly say that he's a very nice kid. Down to earth and friendly. He doesn't brag, and gets as pschyed as anyone watching the competition. The constipated look is probably a "I hate having to do this stupid photo shoot, and why the hell do we have to do this so many times?" Preping for TV exposure is enough to drive anyone mad.

C'mon, you can't begrudge the guy getting his 15 minutes. The guy's just making the most of what is likely to be a short-lived fad of professional video gaming. I'd do the same thing. And yes, I'd probably wear the same constipated look and spikey hair too. It goes with the fame.

I just got word from someone at GameRevolution.com that their video game violence article will be cited, or might be cited, somewhere in the piece.

I've read the script. There's nothing BAD about gaming anywhere in it. The primary focus of it is, obviously, Wendell; but, it also talks a bit about the World Cyber Games and what the possible future of cyber-athleticism is. No screaming mothers. No Jack Thompsonish craziness.

If he can teach me how to use a controller for FPS instead of a keyboard/mouse I will watch...

I cant imagine he has anything interesting to say, which is probably why we will see 4 minutes of voice over stock footage, and 30 seconds of face time. Its easy to visual the way the link reads. Thats still pretty cool though. Who is Steve Kroft? I would have been slightly disappointed not to be sitting down with Ed Bradley or Mike Wallace.

I'm sure he will be on screen for about 2 seconds, while Super Christian Fearmonger Soccer Mom will get to scream her "Videogames are Satan's Pornography" rhetoric for 15 minutes.

Well, I work out 6 days a week, and my 15 cousin beats me in Mario Party 7 minigames. Does he mention what kind of training can make you faster?

Why does he look like a sad puppy when in fact he's trying to look "cool". Compare this picture http://www.desertrosemusings.com/gallery/animals/thumbnail... to the headline picture. haha

Oh, great, that is all we need is some "Tony Hawk" of gaming. Does anybody view this as a good thing?
