seriously what’s up with the challenges in this show? they’re competing to be video game testers and they haven’t even touched a controller yet. i understand that some of the challenges are used to test abilities that apply to video game testing, but shouldn’t they also be playing video games against each other? on next week’s episode they’re going to be catching footballs…..really?! what if the person who wins the job can’t even play games?

How do I get this free t-shirt in Home? I went to Theater 8 where it was playing, but didn’t get anything.

@senocular — You ever heard about “getting your foot in the door?” you think they are just going to pick some realty show winner and say your head designer or your our new particle shader effects engineer? It doesn’t work that way and would be a disaster. These people don’t know jack about coding opengl, cell mult-threading over 6spus, desinging compelling gameplay, writing, musical compesition. Creating a game is a work of art and sciene, perhaps the most ambitious work of art ever displayed as it takes talents from many differetn fields.

If their wasn’t game testers there would 1000000s of bugs in every game, or gameplay would not feel right. These guys test for bugs, balance, fun factor ,etc… You think it just happens by itself? David Jaffe and many others started their careers this way. Its a chance to get your foot in the door and put experice on your resume. That is priceless! Especially when you can put worked for SCEA on your resume. Think about that for a second. Oh and the $5000 bonus is nice too…lol.

Though, in my opinion, the show is a bad version of the already un-entertaining genre of reality TV (which can be OK if done right), you have to commend the effort and what is being done here: mixing TV and video games with a social component through Home. In fact, it’s a brilliant idea. The quality of the show just doesn’t compliment it well enough. And who *really* wants to be a game tester? Yeah, sounds great when you’re 13 and “making a living by playing games” sounds like the way to go, but it’s one of the worst positions in the industry.

Maybe something along the lines of “Shark Tank” (though I have admittedly never seen the show) would have been better; getting a group of people together with their ideas on what the next big next-gen game would be. I can believe people fighting for their ideas in something like that.

I was disappointed because I’d heard David Jaffe was in the 1st one and lost whatever 22 minutes 1.5 times faster is hoping he’d show up, but since he’s in this one I’ll download it.
I love David Jaffe!
