MTV True Life: I'm a Gamer

[Brisco Bold]

Do they actually play music on MTV?

Sorry but I don't watch MTV (I'll stick with my Much Music and BET thank you very much), but with all these reality television shows and whatnot, I've never been able to understand where the music fits in to the "Music Television."

From what I hear, they don't.

MTV does indeed suck.

God, I really hope they pick some well-rounded gamer who might cast a positive light on our beloved hobby.

HAR HAR HAR!

I'll watch it out of morbid curiosity. I'd apply if I wasn't nervous that they'd edit it to make my friends and I look like pieces of shit (not too hard, really... even their incompetent employees could pull it off).

Heads up, this thing airs on Thursday 10:30pm EST. The promo showed some dude playing Steel Battalion, plus some other tools doing stupid shit.

I can't wait for this, I just know they're going to skew the footage to make these guys look like even bigger assholes then they already are.

They showed some guy by an arcade in the promo. Maybe he'll be playing some unknown shooter.

I hate it when people who know nothing about gaming (Read: MTV) try to act like they do... hopefully they picked a cool guy though...

It's not just one guy.

They did the week after 9/11 when all of those stupid musicians were out recording tribute albums.

it takes a national tragedy to get MTV to play music. and it wasnt even good music. bullshit.

Hahaha. Thats OBVIOUSLY not the point of this show. Its to show how fucked up videogames can make you - how it can be an addiction like any other.

They showed a guy playing a fighter with a DC arcade stick...who am I kidding he probably burned the game.
