Today is March 10th. So is it on Thursday March 13, or Tonite?Originally Posted by Gamereviewgod
I think it's Thursday, my guide has "Diary: scheduled for 10:00, unless it is a diary on a gamer....
Looking to sell a videogame magazine collection of 200(+) magazines, 60 cents each, send me a PM if you're interested!
Doh! I had the 10th on my mind. It is the 13th. Sorry for the confusion!
I'll be watching...I wonder what it will be about...
First off if you don't watch MTV True Life you should. It's an excellent show. I am very excited for True Life: I'm A Gamer but I won't be home to watch it. Hopefully I will see it on a rerun soon. Sorry if I'm offending any "gamers" but the people in the ad for the show look like the hugest dorks I've ever seen. I think it will be hilarious. It's definitely on Thursday the 13th @ 10:00 pm.

It'll probably suck shit. It most likely will support any stereotype MTV feels is associated with games, i.e. derogatory ones.

Here is Entertainment Weekly's synopsis of the show:
Tim ("Suicide Bob") can name all 38 characters from The King of Fighters'98, a videogame that was released five years sgo. Yet even with his impressive attention to detail and extraordinary memory skills, the 25-year-old lasted just six weeks in college because he "couldn't remember anything." Such is the often contradictory life of a hardcore gamer. MTV's docu follows Tim's crew (also including members like "Longshot," Hatred," and "DaAsian") as they live, lounge, and wear the skin off their thumbs pushing buttons for six hours straight. The excess is all a bit depressing until you see professional gamers like Fatal1ty, who pockets hundreds of thousands of dollars for excelling in cyber-slaughter--to which we say, GAME FREAKIN' ON!
The reviewer gave it a "B".

Fuck, I hate MTV. When did it stop being music television, and become trend television?
surprises me that it deals with arcade/console games... thought it would pretty much be the whole evercrap following shit
Argh. Entertainment weekly is trash. If they give something a rating above C, it's usually complete BS.Originally Posted by o2william

Well, poo to you. Did you honestly expect MTV to portray ANYTHING accurately? I'm sure many of their true life shows take things out of context and exaggeration by editing.Originally Posted by Cheese
And I just don't like EW. They try and grade things critically, when their magazine is anything but that. I especially don't like it when it shows up in my mailbox after never ordering it.

It sounds like it'll be a repeat of their feature on furries from last year.
MTV's a lot like the jocks and cheerleaders in high school. It seeks to marginalize everyone who doesn't fall within its standards of perfection, which change at any given moment. It's also shallow, soulless, and contributes nothing of value to society, just like the aforementioned jocks and bimbos.

MTV started sucking ass about the same time that "Yo MTV Raps" was introduced. I've hated it ever since. It really doesn't qualify as "Music Television" anymore at all. I did like Loveline a lot though!
