Just wondering if anyone else watched PSN's reality show, The Tester. Today was the premier. If so what are your thoughts on it.   

I watched it, because there was nothing on tv at all, and didn't think it was that great. They didn't even play a single game.

I don't have a PS3 but from everything I've seen and heard about the show it's sounding very lame.

Oh man, I was sitting here staring at that picture for about ten seconds before I realised it wasn't a joke, those are the actual nicknames they've given them.

I'm so gonna download it/watch it tonight or tomorrow. It looks horrible. I seriously hope that the crew (or at least Ryan) watches it and discusses on the Bombcast next week. 
 
Also, allow me to be the first to say that in regards to "Amped", I'd TEST 'ER! GET IT? CUZ SHE'S A HOT GIRL!

no, i didn't watch it. i do not think i will. maybe i will to see what it is about. it seems like a rip off of that scifi show where they did actions from a video game scene than had to play the game.

@VinceNotVance: Nice. I will give you that, "Amped" and "Luge" are kinda hot.

 

I think I'll give it another shot with next weeks episode. It would be nice to see an episode where they actually play a video game.

I just finished watching it and it wasn't great, but I'll probably keep watching provided it stays free. Dave Jaffe's in the next episode so I'm kind of looking forward to watching him be a dick to the contestants.

@Tactical_Kill: By "Test 'er" I obviously mean "Walk up to her, have some awkward banter until I start to blush and run out of things to say, walk away while tripping on my shoelaces, then wallow in the corner while a good looking guy actually picks her up".

mass emails were sent to almost everyone that has a PSN account. Hell even I got that email. Good thing I didn't sign up. Who ever thought being a tester was the best thing in the world?

@ThePhantomnaut:  No Idea, but I just realized that chick was definitely a tester on Guitar Hero 3 at the same time as I was.  Batshit crazy would be an overstatement but she is fairly weird.
 
Just the idea that being a game tester is anyone's dream job is so absurd I can't even express it.  In the words of The Jesus; "LAUGHABLE, MAN!"

Wow... that show was...wow. How idiotic was that challenge? You can't really base a 20 minute show around a hidden picture challenge XD 
I guess I might watch it..... it's one of those "so bad it's good" kinda things, where you can't look away from the atrocity on-screen.

After the horrible experience of WCG Ultimate Gamer, I can't bring myself to watch more video game reality TV.

This isn't even fucking reality.
 
In reality, game tester have to play the most boring monotonous shit that ever existed on a cellular phone for 10 hours a day, making about as much money as a cook at Macdonalds, only you're appreciated less.

Wow, I expected Jeff Probst to jump out from behind a curtain, explaining that I was watching some Bizzaro version of Survivor. And WTF is up with that hostess in mentioning Playstation in every fucking sentence, though she is hot

Just watched this now, it's pure comedy gold. Firstly, calling each other by their PSN names is freaking hilarious, and some of the quotes they comes out with are just... well, they speak for themselves.
 
"Being a video game tester is my dream job" lolwat?
 
I'm gutted that Barmy guy was kicked off, he definitely provided the best embarassing comedy, especially that random parrot comment. It was cringeworthy.
 
It's a crap show but I'll keep watching for the "so bad, it's good" factor.

So I decided to watch the second episode tonight. Wasn't much better than the first episode. They still haven't even played a single game yet,

Yes, and I both hate it and love it. Only good things can happen when Jaffe is thrown into the mix.

No, Testees was on FX for a while though and it was pretty damn amusing.
