All I know is that I had some trouble watching that show. On the one hand, it was trying to make video games hip and trendy. This seemed fake to me, as the show was also very derogatory towards the industry. I didn't appreciate the constant references to video games being violent and addictive. I also didn't care for the rap music.
After the first hour, I went back to watching the Ranger game. Wow... what an ending on that one.
Also, I never realized how the video game industry is dominated by white characters. Or as the show put it... not black characters. Samuel's skit on that was pretty funny. It was also sad but true. I'm trying to remember any popular "black" characters in a video game...
Balrog - Street Fighter II
Barret - Final Fantasy VII
Skate - Streets of Rage II
Hmmm... not a lot. Even in Guild Wars... all the major heroes are white - Devona, Cynn, Aidan, Eve, Ranger Lady, Rurik, Orion. I suppose you can look at Krtyans, but I'm still confused if they are friends or enemies to the Ascalonians.
Anyone else watch the show? :|
