Sad to see Mickey gone, but you were awesome, but I felt that they nitpicked on you for the sake of pointless nitpicking.

I honestly would find it hilarious if Big Fazeek won, considering how screwed the industry would be if he was working there. But at least he has every single game ever made. XD

I knew Mickey wouldn't win from the start. Not because he isn't qualified to test, but he isn't a tool. Sony isn't gonna pick who is most qualified, but who is going to pick up the most viewers so they can see the crap they'll do next. I certainly expect Big Fezeek to be on the for a while because he attracts attention. You think you'll ever see who wins these things ever again? Probably not. They make this job out to be a lot more than it is. As a Tester your only job is to make sure the game works properly(the guys who did New Vegas sucked). And by playing the game, you will find them. Of course you can't be expected to find them all.

Yet these guys are making it seem like you need all these special skills lol. You need perception and patience. You don't need to dress up in a fat suit and wander around for some stupid "lesson." The drill thing was kind of cool, but following orders to the root is to be expected at ANY job >_> Working as a team is to be EXPECTED. The only thing that separates any of the contestants is the ability to find, judge, evaluate, and confirm bugs/glitches/etc.

Yes it is a foot in the door and gives you a chance to go higher up, but going higher means you have a certain skill for something else or you have education useful in some other part of the market. The people on the show don't expect anyone to really go beyond the little fodder job they have in place as a tester.

The other thing that doesn't really have much qualification is being one of those guys at cons who just talk about the game. Of course you need to be good with people, but hey.

Long story short: show is just a sham and it angers me how they act like they are seeing who is the most "qualified" of the contestants. Big Fezeek may be ass, but he does seem to know games. Gaymer seems to know what hes doing, but the rest? Enthusiasm does not equal qualifications.

no behind the scenes this week either? I thought Mickey would have a ton to say of his elimination and how it all went down.

I was kinda looking forward to that...

If you want some behind the scenes info, I made this video to defend Mickey and criticize the elimination. I'm sure you'll all be interested (especially considering I was spared in exchange)

well, this is a surprise.

Thanks for the input Gaymer, and a pleasure to see you come here to explain the situation thus far.

Also....there was a lightning deal for red dead? when was this?

you said at the end about without family or friends or fans, your nothing....and I gotta disagree with that. Even without fans, youre still Mickey Paradis. The same Mickey who knows how to keep a situation lighthearted when things are ready to burn into ashes. the same Mickey whos willing to try anything new for the sake of trying. the Same Mickey who puts enough faith into people to show them around Texas, despite that person virtually being a stranger.

You may have lost the competition, but you have won where it counts; growth, and evaluation. Whats left to do, is expand even more from it.

heheheh, so this is the drama Official Gaymer foreshadowed...

so yeap, like someone before predicted, Triple Threat is gone, and Fazeek stays.

I will also give props on team Princess for the concept of Sharkface, and bonus points for naming the protagonist Mickey. that was cute of you to give him a mention after losing him a day before. Gaymer, if youre still among us, care to give more information about the challenge? I actually was quite intruiged about the concept and mechanics.


one more note, its safe to say that next challenge, Scooter is my pick to be eliminated. I mean, the INTRO TO THE TESTER shows blue winning the race challenge, meaning him, cheska or princess gets the boot that ep. depending on his attitude, I think thats it for him there.

how the idea came, mechanics and level design. Im not kidding when I say that was quite an interesting concept, especially given with the time constraint. If it came out on Arcade or PSN, I would probly buy it, regardless of age demographic. After all, Mario is the poster child of nintendo, and although hes intended for kids, the older generation can still kick into his old and new works.

and on a final note, despite the scripted antics of Reality TV, id be interested to apply for season 3 should it ever come. I heard that canadians could be accepted into the series, and I was wondering if you could tip anyone here on submitting a good application.

Oh ok so you want more info on SharkFace...well War Princess and I will definitely be elaborating because they cut a lot (our Q&A went REALLY well) and we want people to be able to make the game in LBP2. We actually even threw Mario in one of the panelist's faces haha

I'm happy to see ep 3 commentary up today! Looking forward to ep 4. :)

Either Scooter, Gaymer, or Big Fazeek is going to win I think.

holy shit, vat a twist~....didnt expect the double knockout. didnt expect it so soon, but im glad to see that they ridded BF not from game legality, but from contestant outcry which makes it even sweeter. Sucks to see Princess take the bout right after anyways, but atleast she got the chance to see her chains get broken in front of her.

so for now, we got:

12. Max1m
11. Boo
10. Samurai
09. Fantasy Girl
08. 8 bit Mickey
07. Triple Threat
06. Big Fazeek
05. War Princess
04. ???
03. ???
02. ???
01. ???

Take yo bets folks..


PS - why they hatin on choc? xD

It looks like my previous predictions and findings were right except it only goes up to the final four instead of 3. I think Scooter is going to win.

Hey Gaymer, thanks for the input man!

Are you planning on becoming a regular member of our little forum?

I don't know what it was, but mickey seemed a little too nervous the entire time, like he wasn't being himself. He had some funny moments, but something seemed off, don't know if it was how they edited it or what not, but a lot of his comments seemed scripted or in-genuine. Love Gaymer, he's awesome, and I love Mo Chocolate, those are probably my 2 favorite contestants right now. If I had to pick who I think should win it though, it's definitely Gaymer. He's definitely a gamer, he's very cool and composed, and a fun guy to watch! You have my support man, good luck!
