I believe we may just have a gaming travesty on our hands...

So reality TV meets gaming?

Who came up with this? I bet these gamers aren't even the best of the best. Just the ones that are the most marketable.
Of course there aren't the best they just have the least self respect.

I didn't have any respect for the human race, and this somehow took that level of respect and lowered it...negative respect for something...is that even possible?
Hate?

Can these gamers play anything deeper than Halo and Guitar Hero, like an RPG?

FIND OUT NEXT WEEK! Wait, what? They've already canceled the show? Whew...Good. Now I don't have to narrate anything except this first episode...

...whut. Just...whut.

I had been wondering what that VG Cats comic had been about, and now I know.

Oh good. More reality TV. Why are shows about manufactured, unlikable people popular now?
Because they are cheap. And they will get ratings. Somebody will watch it, no matter how crap it is. Networks can make money by spending very little on random reality TV shows that people will watch because:
a) it is on
b) some people enjoy watching others fail/make a fool of themselves

I hate TV networks so much for this because good quality TV shows get cancel well before their time and often, before the first season has finished airing.

On topic; that made me vomit a little in my mouth. It wouldn't be completely horrible if they played a decent game instead of crappy generic console crap.
ie. any PC based RTS

Saw this on VGcats. People will try to make money off of anything and considering the popularity of casual games, they will do that. And it's not like they'll say "the best casual gamer!" They have to lie and say it's best gamer in general.

All I know is that whoever wins will be challenged by pros and get there asses handed to them on a silver platter (with a picture of Gordon Freeman on it).

My hopes aside, the show won't last more than a single season. Don't worry. All we have to do is sit back and laugh at the fact that we could all completely destroy them.

I like how their so intense, I bet any one of us could kick their asses.

Gaming is a past-time, not a sport.


How many people watch others watching a movie, or playing darts
On the other hand... Curling...


But yeah, this is just sad... For a second I thought I was going to be surprised...When I saw the Virtua Fighter or Street Fighter or whatever the hell Fighter screen, I thought they would be forced to fight seriously... Some of these reality shows are THAT crazy... Yeah right... Reality shows need to die along with whomever invented them... With cancer... on their genitals... And then spontaneously combust...

Aww, I don't get why everyone so mad. That looked awesome. I should do something like that. Get a bunch of Master chief armor and play paintball. That show looks epic.

I'm kind of ashamed to see one of my favourite games (Halo 3) paraded on a show like this. People who play games for the sake of tornament... they really make the rest of us look bad.

P.S as much as I love Halo 3 I'm ready to admit there are other online FPS'S out there like say... Team Fortress 2. Plus I still don't 'get' Guitar Hero and I don't think I ever will.

P.P.S TV shows like this really aren't helping send the message that gamers are mature... in fact I'm tempted to believe this is actually designed to make people who play games look like a bunch of self obsessed obnoxious show boating wankers.
