“CAST OF THE FIRST-EVER PLAYSTATION NETWORK REALITY SERIES REVEALED”
Whenever we start to feel a bit bad about perhaps exaggerating how BAD the modern gaming industry is, something comes along that metaphorically pats us on the head and says we are right – and to TRY HARDER.
From Sony’s Lie Machine, regarding its new “be a games tester” online TV show:
“The Tester, to be by hosted Meredith Molinari, model and host of multiple online music shows, will follow the cast over eight episodes as they battle it out in a series of physical and mental challenges in a fight to win a position at Sony Computer Entertainment America.”
The Hitler Youth. At least they’ve kept the contestants realistically average-looking and moderately overweight.

Because physical and mental challenges are needed for the gruelling job of sitting in a chair and playing buggy games all day. Since it’s Sony, maybe the objective is to hire the most stupid and unfit person from the group?
Why not just pick up an application form to be a games tester? It’s a lot easier and people won’t see you on TV and know that the best you’ve achieved in life is being paid minimum wage to test PS3 games.

Is that Chris Morris at the back there?
I think being a games tester is probably quite a grueling job. And tedious. And soul destroying. In fact, I’m actually amazed Sony have attempted to glamourise it. It would be far easier to make being the Chief bog cleaner at Sony Computer Entertainment America look more appealing.

L-R: ironic “Jim off the office” sockless twat, fat black girl with “attitude”, freaky unconventional ugly woman, short girl who thinks she’s cute but actually looks like a man, unremarkable fat man, starey gurning fat man trying too hard, the “nice” girl they all “would”, the “ghetto nigga”, the one who mistakenly believes a waistcoat makes him look clever and interesting rather than a cunt, bossy “sensible” fat woman, wacky trendy asian/mixed-race/wtf annoying cock.
My money’s on unremarkable fan man.

yes, that’s right, “fan man”

If you cut out everything but the centre four people in the picture… I think I’ve already seen that video on the internet.

Molinari? A fine Centauri Prime name.

Would, Would, Would….Would, Would, Would, Would…Would, Would, Would, Would….shoot them all in the head.
Tw*ts, I’m chucking out all my consoles and I’ll be aiming them at peoples faces.

Aren’t these people all too clean and happy to be games testers? Also, some of them seem to be women, that’s not on.

A fight to win a position as a tester?
I’d fight not to be a tester. in fact that would make for a far more interesting show. 8 contestants, 7 jobs in test waiting…

Wonder what the Testing Manager is like…
“You soppy c***…you’re going to play the oval circuit on GT5 until your facking eyeballs bleed my son…now sit the f*** down”.
I imagine some kind of mockney gangster

that paki one better be a gay Muslim. all the cool reality shows have one
January 22nd, 2010 on 12:21 pm
Haha, yes. Mockney. The endurance races on the big oval were evidently included in the finished GT4 as punishment by the totally fucking hacked off testing team. But if you’re after 100% completion… there’s the ‘B-SPEC’ driver who’ll while away the hours for you while you’re asleep. He loves it.

My money is also on the sofa-bound fattie in the wenge-coloured t-shirt. Everyone else will be too busy worrying about their respective images.
Except the fat black escaped mental patient – he’s what Ralph from The Simpsons will look like when he’s all grown up.
