What the hell is this?

Because you demanded it, Sony is launching its first PlayStation Network reality show later this year, The Tester . Eleven contestants will battle for the "gamer's ultimate dream job," testing PlayStation games. These are those eleven contestants.

The cast of The Tester is, as aptly described by the PlayStation.blog, a diverse group, with gamers from 22- to 36-years-old, from clearly telegenic to not quite telegenic, all ready to tear out each other's throats for a QA job at Sony Computer Entertainment. In addition to this group, expect to get face time with game designer extraordinaire David Jaffe--one of the show's judges--and "a special celebrity judge" still to be announced.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm rooting for Blue Shirt Guy behind the couch and hope that Grinning Vest Guy is voted off immediately . And I just have this guy feeling that The Cute Enough To Be Up Front Girl (center) will be around longer than most. But I don't know from reality TV! Guess I'll have to watch...

My ultimate games job probably doesn't involve testing.

And 'face time' ? They make Jaffe sound like a porn starlet to be abused.
 
Dream job? I thought game testing was a repetitive job that didn't pay very well.

I mean, I always see places looking for game testers and they're willing to accept just about anyone. I wonder how many testers Sony is going to hire while this show is going on. :lol

doesn't game testing end up being a really shitty job?

Next thing you know there will be a contest to be a gamestop clerk. IT'S THE ULTIMATE JOB.

So hypothetically speaking, if all us violent and unstable gamers, who can't tell reality tv from reality, shoot the people who wanted this, it would be cancelled, yes?

Because reality shows aren't bad enough as is, now we need to throw in some gamers to fight over 5 hour energies and hungry man tv dinners
 
Wow....this is going to be worse than that video game competition/reality show that was on scifi a little while back.

Oh and :lol :lol :lol :lol for QA being a dream job. People are seriously misinformed at what it's like to be in QA.
 
Eh, video game testing really ain't all that great. Poor dudes who end up competing don't know what they're getting into :( Moreover, knowing how boring it is to test games, I can't imagine the show being entertaining.

Dude, look at this clipping issue.

Dude, you totally have to file a bug report with bugzilla.
