Pro Gaming... and PPV?

Havent seen one of these in a little while. Looks like the mainstream press still has a thing for this whole professional gamer kick. Check out this article talking about Jonathon 'Fatality' Wendel who just recently apparently signed a 6figure sponsor deal according to the article. Pretty ho-hum until you see this line:

Barnes bills Wendel as the first gamer to earn $100,000 in winnings in a single year. He said Wendel just signed a deal that will pit him against an undetermined opponent in a pay-per-view match planned for late fall.

Yeah... pay-per-view computer games! That's what we've been missing in this world!
