Pro Gaming goes to 60 Minutes

60 Minutes interviews Fatal1ty, and you can either watch the whole show or read a word-for-word transcript at that link. Pretty nice. Toward the end of the peice Steve Kroft even goes a couple rounds of Halo 2 with Lil' Poison, the 7-year-old prodigy from the MLG. The story plays up the possibilities of pro gaming as a spectator sport in the US, but doesn't forget to mention that 100,000 people show up in South Korea to see people play StarCraft on a giant screen. Me, I love watching other people play. Especially when its a game I play! Reaction times play into Fatal1ty's success, but learning and watching and thinking up strategies plays a big part too.
