Here’s more stuff I found that was interesting at CES2008… this was South Hall.

Creative Labs Competitive Gaming Theatre
The winner of my attention in South Hall today was Creative Labs’ booth… hands down.  Why?  Well besides having easily the best eye-candy in the whole hall, they had a theatre with nothing but competitive gaming, featuring the famous Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel and members of the Championship Gaming Series.

ABOVE:  Myself with Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel (hailed by many as the best competitive first-person shooter (FPS) player in the world) and LA Complexity’s "KreeganBG" (One of the foremost players of FIFA07 on XBox 360 ) & San Francisco Optx’s "Clown" (Member for the Optx’s Counterstrike Source team) from the Championship Gaming League.

Admittedly I haven’t seriously played PC games since the days of Age of Empires.  I’ve become a whore for the Xbox 360 and really only play an occasional game on my laptop.  But I love watching these guys play competitively… it’s truly a great competitive sport.  These guys are living the dream I had back when I was a teenager.
