View the website in FireFox if possible, it still looks a bit weird and broken in Internet Explorer.

If you want to watch my matches, then here they are at these timemarks :

the start of the video is my quarter finals (though it started late), 1:37:20 is my semi finals vs poisonbagels, and 3:05:30 is my finals vs liamcouer

Then my interview comes right after the finals, so stick around for that

Thanks to JodyR for the link. I thought the videos were going to be archived (maybe, still), but this will certainly do for now! :]!!

I was watching the halloween UT2004 fragfest steaming replay of the event, and I saw some things that the guys were questionable about. Here are some answers. If you have any more questions, leave a comment :]

"Is it pronounced 'The Frageelay', or 'The Fragile"

It is pronounced "The Fragile". As much as all of you love "A Christmas Story", I did not make my name after it's sayings of "Fra..gee..lay...must be italian." I got my name from the Nine Inch Nails album, "The Fragile"

"Fragile is chilling back and camping, I think he's trying to figure out what he's gonna do next"

When I was camping, I was usually doing one of two things.
1. My opponent had the double damage, and I was waiting for it to run out. There is no point of going against someone with double damage, they have way too much of an advantage with it, and I would not risk dying because of it unless I NEEDED to kill him quickly in order to win.

2. I was waiting for a powerup to spawn, such as the 100 shield, 50 shield, double damage, or maybe a weapon. I time my powerups, so my opponent doesn't get them. I don't always get them though, sometimes other things are important, or maybe other situations which are complicated.

"Fragile, you're down by 4 frags man, and you got 3 minutes to go, you gotta get going man"

I know. I take my time, and 3 minutes is plenty of time to kill my opponent 4 times. I just wanted to get everything I could, and make sure the next time I confronted my opponent for it to be a sure kill, with hopefully a nice follow-up. I wanted to gain control of mostly everything, and keep my opponent on his toes. I knew all the spawns anyway, so all I needed to do is grab the double damage, kill my opponent, and chase him down from whatever spawn he gets unless he is hostile with armor and a good weapon.

"Once TheFragile left chat, everyone said he was a goner, dead man walkin!"

I love being the underdog and winning. I already covered this question in my interview, but everyone thought he was going to beat me because he demolished falcon, and he beat testament by a good score on the 2nd map. All my opponents were tough, regardless of the score. Even if I beat DragoonPheasT 10-0 in the first map (though he killed himself twice), he was still tough to fight. Though against PoisonBagels, I was doing fine on the first map, but something happened that no one noticed. My ping went to 240. At this point, even with the enhanced netcode in UTComp, it was extremely hard to play. Roughinery is a pretty good hitscan(hitscan means a weapon that fires and it instantly hits where you fire, no delay, perfectly accurate, which hitscan weapons would be the shock rifle and lightning gun) map, while it can be close range as well, and it was very hard to do either with my 250 ping. On the second and third maps, my ping was fine, but it was still a tough fight.

And that's all I can remember.

I want to thank everyone in chat that supported me and gave me a "GJ TheFragile!" It was a fun and unforgettable experience. Gamespot rocks! :]

By the way, I'm possibly considering giving out lessons for UT2004. If you are interested, PM me or something.

Thanks for reading,
