You all probably have heard of this guy by now, Fatal1ty, but I just saw this today. What a life. Imagine making that kind of money playing videogames. With his success, he has already had a gaming computer system named after him and I can only imagine his endorsements will take off after this new achievement.

Johnathan Wendel, 24, who goes by the name "Fatal1ty" in the world of multiplayer games, beat Sander Kaasjager, a player from the Netherlands known as "fnatic.Vo0," for the competition's top prize.

"It took a lot of practice coming into this tournament, training about eight hours a day for the last two to three weeks," Wendel told AP Television News after the event. "To win $150,000 playing a video game -- that's the best."

Either way, these kids have got to be dorks. Who wants to have a relationship with a kid who probably freaks out if he doesn't get a headshot?
