MTV wants Joystiqers who'll dish on camera

Heres a comment from this gamer... "PLAY SOME GOD DAMN MUSIC"

Who the hell wants to hear gamers wax poetic about the time they "pwned" some little kid?

Heartbreak? Like when a memory card gets corrupted? Great television.

you should probably bold this part: "please respond only if you are available on June 3rd and can appear at MTV in Santa Monica, California."

HEy they stole that idea from us!!! Bastards!

Ooh, yeah. I didn't see that Santa Monica bit. Ah, well, they probably wouldn't pick me anyway. Look here to see my submission:

Anyone else think it's wierd that MTV use a gmail address?

In LatinAmerica, MTV has a videogames show named Joystiqueros. It's a weekly show relatively new.

www.mtvla.com

I love the Pee-Wee Herman's Big Adventure line drop. I hate that many readers of this site are too young to recognize it.

MTV has finally realized they've lost their ratings to video games and internet...their ploy to bring themselves back won't work on this guy...FMTV!

I love how MTV is now saying "hey guys, we're cool too, honest." instead of saying "this is what cool is losers"

No, it's not really that weird that they're using a gmail address -- when TV productions need an email address for a one-off project like this, they usually just scoop up a free one. It can take the IT department days to set up a real one, and deadlines make the idea of waiting for that laughable.

I totally got the Large Marge refrence... lol I love that movie and I'm only 23... does that mean I'm old?

"I say we let him go... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Great, now I have "Tequila" stuck in my head, guys.

Yeah, the fact that you'd have to be in Santa Monica does really restrict that. But I have a few good stories.

Though given the fact that the people behind this are likely the same people behind the Spike TV VGAs (MTV and Spike share the same parent company), I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole.

If Joystiqers end up doing it, you've got to be pimped out in your Joystiq t-shirt.

Hey Joystiq, how much did MTV give you to post this one? You're a bunch of pathetic sell outs even if you didn't get any money.

Yeah, I'm 23 too and I definitely got the Large Marge reference. Who doesn't like Pee-Wee?

Wait a minute...Pee-Wee...Wii...Pee-Wii...

This means something...

I'm ashamed to say that I read this blog. Mtv is one of the biggest factors that ruined popular music. Not to mention that their shows have nothing to do with music. They may as well call themselves Rolling Stone tv. Because just as they started out as music media, they've sold out to become pop culture media.

You want my comment as a gamer. Here it is. Music has always had a part in gaming and by ruining music you're ruining games. Please stop. Change your name to US Weekly tv or something more appropriate. Mtv is a joke, it something that people who watch should be ashamed to watch and I'm sure most of them are.

Joystic, do you want a topic, how about this webpoll? Do gamers watch mtv?

Yea i Fail class becuase of games and I struggle to be one of the best gamers in the world. But now i struggle in school cuz low grades and cuts lots of class I faild myself. to graduate and to go to college. see my life struggle i play games all the time me owning people on Halo and Quake 3 arena.

When Aerith died, it was the saddest moment of my life which at that point I knew, I had to get a real girlfriend.

If stories goes on MTV for their profit we need a little of our own *coughs and opens palm*

This will either help or hurt the gaming community.
Two possible scenarios:

1) Fat-30-year-old-living-in-parents-basement Gamer drools on about how he got some super stupid strong weapon in WOW and killed a boss by himself with only 10 health.

2) Stupid-Jock-Wannabe Gamer talks about how he scored 13 touchdowns on some dude online in Madden 06 the day it came out. Why? Because it's the same game as last years Madden.

On second thought, this will do nothing for real gamers.

Here's what you won't see:
Me and my buddy played Baulders Gate: Dark Alliance for 8 hours straight... then that damn ice dragon killed us like 10 times in a row...but it was fun... I like that game.

MTV, the scourge of the Earth, and the most hipocritical channel on Earth. They need to play more music, and more differentiated music... This reminds me of the time I got my 20th blister playing Killer Instinct Gold for the N64 though... I'd get a 360 just for that game if they have it on XBL...

MTV is a terrible channel. I really hope they change their mind and stay out of video game related programming.

Plus infinity for Large Marge and her creepy, unblinking stopmotion face.

mtv can lick my left nut

and my right one!!!

Yeah i'm 23 myself, 1983 must have been the perfect year.

Yeah... I can just see how they package this. They'll make the gamers look like total losers, throw in some music like Beck's "Loser", and throw images of typical, vapid MTV preppie hotties in there to make the gamers look like losers to the MTV audience.

MTV became a waste of time in 1990. Any gamer who does this might as well march on over to SPIKE TV and volunteer to be in their bogus VideoGame Awards show, too.

MTV is gonna play some shitty emo band in the background of anything they put on air from this, I just know it. I can see it now "And then Sephiroth comes down from above, pulls out his sword, and stabs Aries in the back. When it hit me that she had died, I lost it. I just couldn't stop crying..." and in the background you'll hear "CRAAAAWLING IN MY SKIIIIN! THESE WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEEEEAAAAAAAAL!". I'll laugh just because I knew it would happen.

If they really consider people that play souly Madden gamers, then I will feel pitty on them. MTV went down the crapper when they started to stand for what is "cool" like all the "Punk" bands people listen to now. Now they are starting to take the one thing I held sacred, gaming, and making it "cool". I swear if I see one more preppy girl with a Yoshi shirt on, and she corrects me saying that it's pronounced "Yoshy" (Joshy with a Y) then I will go insane.

Oh, and don't say that all that new stuff is Punk, Punk was about being different, and all the stuff out sounds exactly the same to me. Same voices, same meaning (nothing), same tunes. It's all Pop.

*all submissions become property*

Hey MTV, how much did we all give you to make money off of us? You're a bunch of brainwasher sell outs even if you didn't get any submissions.

I got invited; im going. I wonder if they will pay for airfare otherwise im driving.
