Also known as “Why in the hell do you want this terrible job so bad?!” You can catch a preview for PSN’s upcoming reality show HERE.
A few surprises:
1. It’s produced by the folks who brought you VH1’s Rock of Love.
2. As you’ll see from the above video, David Jaffe* is one of the judges.
3. Even videogame reality shows have skanky chicks: “No one’s really ever asked if I have a boyfriend, so I’ll kinda keep it on the DL and see how it goes,” says one contestant who is then shown cuddling up with another.
4. Another one of the judges is Ketherine De Leon – the producer of Playstation Home, a trainwreck in of itself.
5. If this preview is a accurate sampling of the show, there will be gratuitous overuse of the term “game over”.
Also, for those of you who question the idea that being a Playstation game tester is undesirable job see the recent Penny Arcade comic strip about it.
Awesome! So get excited… or terrified. Also be ready for massive gamer stereotyping.

Interesting, but I don’s see any of these people becoming design leads on God of War 4… just sayin’.
