One of the biggest self-promoters in the world of esports got himself involved a pretty awkward interview during E3.Johnathan 'Fatal1ty' Wendel has probably given hundreds of interviews over his career, but few of them hit the highs (or lows, depending on your perspective) of his latest with Pixelated Geek.
The interview takes a different approach to the usual "tell us how awesome you are" by asking the FPS legend how he feels about being thought of as a douchebag. After last year's Penny Arcade Expo incident this becomes the second piece of ill-advised PR for Wendel.
Abandoning his usual "Mr Calm and Collected" persona, he describes the videos he made after the PAX event which are cringe-worthy to say the least. Sadly, however, these videos are currently nowhere to be found. Wendel even went on to call the interviewer "not cool any more".
The interview gets interesting around the six minute mark, but you can watch the whole thing below:

i think people are taking the interview way out of context. i figure if carmac did the interview instead of jaime, would it be "funny" then? *shrug*
im not being positive about it, but im just simply stating that having questions that throw people off isnt exactly a bad thing. fatalitys been in the business for over a decade and has probably done a million interviews during his time. arent u guys tired of hearing the same questions asked every time he gets interviewed?
I have massive respect for what Fatal1ty has done for the esports community, regardless of the millions of dollars he's made from it. Why? Because he used his fucking brain and created a feasible business.
I despise people who just live their pathetic existance they call "a life" in mediocrity. People who just "wanna get by, not die" and never try to do anything in their life that has any meaning attached to it.
As a result of their meaningless pathetic life, they begin to hate on people who actually achieved success from doing something they love (like Fatal1ty making millions off of being a professional gamer), because they themselves never had the mental or physical strength to use their time and effort into becoming truly great at something. They just end up wanting to get by, not die.
Can we all just agree that the interviewer is a malignant cunt and be done with it.
thats how stupid girls act when they dont understand something, they skip anything you say and only focus on little bit of info they understood, its really funny sometimes, talking to them and spotting it, they dont even realise it :/
poor fat, he got back at her in the end tho, made her iview feel shit ;D
