Not everyone thinks the internet makes you famous. http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/05/01/roflcon/index.html?eref=rss_latest The other thing about the internet is, because the 'item of fame' is able to be reproduced at any time without too much issue, 15 seconds of video can lead to a lifetime of fame. Leeroy Jenkins is a prime example of this. He hasn't done anything noteworthy since. But he's still 'famous'. Although, I have to say I really would like to see Madlep walk up to a convention ticket taker with a baseball bat over one shoulder, a pair of shorts knee high socks, and a headset. I can see it now ... Gentlemen /cloak I guess ‘fame’ is a relative term to what you are doing at the time though. Not everyone thinks the internet makes you famous.

Doubt it :( I should have gone all scout rant on the staff at the door though. "I don't even know where to start with you. I mean, do you even know who you're talking to? Do you have any idea. Any idea who I am? Basically, kind of a big deal." @Pinko HA! Doubt it :(

But being a celebrity like that just because of a few (hilarious, granted) video reviews has to suck. I mean srsly, is it possible to do something cool on the internet without having a bunch of people want to be just like you? It's kind of creepy... Wow, that’s crazy.
