Oh brother... :rolleyes:

I'm sure that kind of marketing works on younger folks. OCZ went down a notch in my book. From notch 1 to 0.

The only Fatal1ty product I bought is the sound card, and I mean, dayum, its a nice soundcard (check specs). Other than that, his claw hand grip mouse from Creative sucks, and his other stuff sucks (maybe not his coolers for graphics and cpu, who knows.) this is really retarded though, but hell if you can cash in on it, why not.

sigh why in the world do companies keep giving him free money? it's not like his porducts sell well. and it's not like he's the best person to be asking on how to improve their products. better to ask viperjohn or wiz, someone who knows a little bit more about hardware then, ooo I can kick @ss at games on this stuff.

It's all about marketting. If the Fatal1ty brand can make them dollars, why wouldn't they leverage it? Just because it means nothing to us, does not mean that it does not increase their revenue.

Don't judge them harshly for wanting to increase their bottom line.

Exactly which group of shoppers does he appeal anything to? He's just a guy that kicks ass at Quake 4. It doesn't mean he knows anything at all about hardware. In fact, spending all that time "honing" his Quake 4 skills probably means he knows little else. Heh.

He is definitely good at Q4 though. There's no denying that. He practices for hours and hours each day at it. Kinda depressing, if you ask me.

Frankly, I avoid hardware that has gaudy crap like gamer tags, giant monster fantasy women, dragon stickers, etc attached.

Fatality products are for the gamers that are not aware of whats going on in real life and ingame.

In terms of first person shooters, they are the ones checking out the wall render.
In terms of car games, they are swapping rims during the race.
blah blah

Fatality plays counter strike, thats how good he is. Oh im sorry, his a champ of many other titles. Out of curiosity, did any of them other titles actually utilize EAX 5.0 ? Did Fatality need a 650w powersupply to run that insaine gfx card he would have needed to play those high demanding games ? What cpu was he using ?

Ive never been happy with any Fatality product, to me its just a gimmick for the gimmicks.

Btw, Quake 4 is one poor poor game. Css was more honourable.

Long time user of OCZ products, and being someone that promotes OCZ or Corsair heavily to clients, i now feel forced to forget about the tainted OCZ lineup and seek another vendor. Mathematically, thats already a $300,000 loss per year for OCZ + the stupid amount they paid Fatality, and im sure theres others that boycott stupid products.

Dont get me wrong, im sure Fatality is a great guy in real life, but this situation is like asking a monkey that is good at circus tricks to give you advice on how to modify your rocket ship.
