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

This is something that was bound to happen and quite frankly I am not the least bit shocked that Sci Fi is hosting this nonsense. Remember the horror that was "Who Wants to be a Superhero". After targeting comic books, it was only a matter of time that video games would be thrown into the mix. The only thing that caught me off guard was the fact that they didn't name the show "Who Wants to be a WCG".
its like America's next top model....
only..sort of....wrong is a great word but it doesn't sort of capture what i'm trying to say...

I died a little inside. I really enjoy playing computer games but..... it's not something that is to be taken that seriously. Sometimes I think we need to take a small step back and realise that there's this really good MMO-RPG that started millions of years ago. Really immersive, briliant graphics, AI like no other game... and no monthly payments.... it's called Life. Nothing compares to it.
SO yeah, gamings awesome.. but not THAT awesome.

After doing an epic facepalm, I laughed. The Ultimate Gamer? If they really want to find someone that good, I suggest they get them to play Ikaruga, Mushihimesama Futari, Ninja Gaiden, Super Ghouls and Ghosts, Metal Slug etc Those games are brutal... I bet they have not even heard of those games and probably would not survive 5 seconds. I would be very surprised if this show became popular.
4 words can explain why this is a fail.
American Gamers on TV
In fact no, replace america with any other nation and the outcome would be the same, you'd have a group of obnoxious gamers who think they're awesome because they can play a console.
Ok, you've mastered the hardest song on expert, now play me the mario theme on guitar.
Twang
FAIL.

I'm actually not surprised. With the more cultrally traditional ideas like singing, dancing, and modeling already taken, and the complete misunderstanding of the video game culture by 90% of TV producers, I'm surprised it took them this long to come up with something like this. You guys have waaaaay to much faith in the TV industry if you were surprised by this garbage.
I'm sure this was a great idea in someone's head at one stage. But it's impractical. You cannot find 'the best gamer ever' especially from just selecting people from America. People aren't going to watch a pack of sweaty nerds play games for an hour. It's ridiculous.
I thought Big Brother was the rock bottom for TV programming;
It seems as though the rock as split and let this piece of shit fall through.
