Did you get his autograph and throw your panties at him?

jealousy abounds

He is no different than any other athlete. Wal-Mart tries to sell me baseball gloves sponsored by a player. Or a bat with a team. Or a bicycle with a start bicyclist's name on it. Or trying to sell me a food preparation appliance with a popular chef on the box. This is no different folks. But it is still dumb. Companies need to market their shiz on it's own merit. I can sell my feces as chocolate if I get Emerel to sponsor me.

Anyone else think that
a) it's too much and
b) his face REALLY shouldn't be on a box.

Non-work safe warning WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE. >_<

Ugh...

When did sitting on one's rear end playing video games become a sport? Now, I don't begrudge a man taking money when it's thrown at him. I wish I had idiots throwing money my way just because I'm good in games. I just think it's utterly rediculous that you're trying to sell products to geeks by having a geek branded line of products. I think the "Fatal1ty" branding of products is completely rediculous . Which is why I will never buy anything with that monicker on it. Now...if it was the Akugami XFX Geforce card, then it'd be different...

BTW, XFX, if you're reading this. They have this program called Photoshop. You might want to hire someone who knows how to use it.

Reminded of this

Though the XFX box is even worse.

Maybe its just me, but damn that chick is doing so much better as far as marketing goes. They need to either make her on the main box and stuff rather than have nerdish, trying to be intimidating volcano face staring at you with his chicken-scratch piece of crap signature. But hey, maybe I just like girls more. You know, the kind that can't write and get money for their sig.

To tell you guys the truth though, I didn't even know who it was when I first saw the picture. Once I read this thread I kind of got a good idea.

Ive always found that theyre generally better quality than non-signature models (especially with companies such as Ibanez).

Anyway back on topic. I wouldnt buy a graphics card because its got someones name on it. If it had better features, then i would have no problem (same applies to guitars!).

Who cares whos name is on it? I havent bought any Fata1ity stuff yet, but if something really good came out with his name on it, then that wouldnt put me off.

 

[vanvock]

At least they got rid of those goffy cartoon characters. Maybe once he's gone they will put some decent artwork on the stuff.

The regular line of Ibanes suck your right, I guess in that regard. I buy Les Pauls though, so still no reason to buy signiture.

I really wonder though how well his line of products are selling. I mean buying computer products based on who is on the front is like using Ms. Cleo for financial planning. It just doesn't work people.

The same day golf was declared a sport despite fat people with a heart disease playing it and being good at it as well.

As for the topic at hand, its pathetic. No, he aint pathetic, he is doing the right thing, like all the other "stars" who put their face on any garbage that is thrown at them with a suitcase full 'o money. Still doesnt change the fact that this type of marketing, although its apparently successful, is pathetic - which makes those who fall for it qualify as the lowest creatures on gods green earth.

 

[erikistired]

i must be the gamer i thought i was, because outside of all the fatality crap promotion i've never heard of this guy.
