I met Major Nelson once in the Xbox360 Cod 4 multiplayer beta lol. Not really a celebrity, but it was kinda funny.
Any good stories?

I see famous Mii's in Mario Kart 8 all the time, people like Lady Gaga and Clint Eastwood. I know they're not the real stars though, har har.

Played regularly with a professional NBA player back in the day until I fell out of the cycle of games he'd frequent (mainly FPS games on PC).
For the sake of discretion, I'll refrain from disclosing his identity. Cool guy, relatively chill, but had to be hyper aware about who he played with out of fear his communications would be recorded and released to the press (he never said anything controversial or distasteful, IMO, but he couldn't run the risk). A few of his group members were streamers and they'd shut off their streams out of respect.

I've raced against some notable drivers in iRacing but if you play long enough it's not that uncommon.

Years ago on PC I was into Nascar racing. The game had a board, kind of like neogaf, where you could hang out and discuss the game. I remember a guy came on and introduced himself as Dale Earnhardt Jr. Well, you can imagine the reaction. Some guys believed it was him and others thought he was an imposter. Personally after reading his posts I believed it was really Dale.

A good friend of mine and he were buddies from college. Eventually he needed someone to sherpa him through raids in D2 and that's how I met him.

About a month or so ago I played Lord Knight (of FGC fame) in Guilty Gear Strive. I was on Bridget, he was using May. We played 2 sets. First set I beat him 3-0. Second set he beat me 3-0.
He was streaming it as well so I went to his stream and he was really cool and said I was really good. It meant alot comeing from a top 8 EVO professional player. His community was also pretty cool. They said it was a really fun match to watch.
I think he would have absolutely destroyed me if he was on his main. I've seen his Baiken play and I've never played a Baiken like that before.

Played a number of times against Maximillian Dood in multiple fighting games. Guy is always a good sportsmanship even after destroying me every time.

Yep! Just dropped into a random lobby and holy shit it's snoop.
When that game came out along with the Xbox live camera, there was all sorts of shit happening in UNO.
Tits were out almost every game.

Will Smith in Elden Ring

‘Will Smith’ is invading Elden Ring games to slap people and then leave
The Oscars meme of Will Smith’s legendary slap has reached Elden Ring, where it’s been re-enacted by people invading other players’ games.

I met Keiji Inafune, who is a top-notch thief and a liar.
Keiichiro Toyama the creator of Silent hill and Gravity rush... He is a good person. He congratulated me in my birthday.
Gravity Rush Artist congratulated me on my Birthday.
Gus Rodríguez, who is a video game celebrity in Mexico and was a pioneer gamer, I met him and I appeared on television because I was the first person to discover the Yoshi island Easter egg.
Some famous Youtubers that I have never really heard in my life and I treat them as a normal person.
Famous or not... I told the Director representing Meristation magazine that he was inept because he gave 10 to Cyberpunk 2077 video game, without justificativo with all the bugs controversy... In the end he was speechless and I won the argument xD.
