Sony's The Tester

Here is a unique way to deliver new content to the PSN, reality television. Granted, the genre tends to lean towards “lowest common denominator” type programming, but “The Tester”, to be produced by Sony and production company name may be interested in appealing to more than America’s love for overdramatic idiots mixed with copious amounts of alcohol, see Jersey Shore. Basically, a bunch of people get together to compete for a coveted job in the game industry as a QA Tester… wait, is that right? These people are actually competing for a position which requires a high school education and dishes out minimum wage across an average 60 hour work week? Yikes! Maybe I am overestimating the shows potential, but then again it’s free, related to gaming and an interesting marketing experience for PSN. Alright, I am in. Basically, I will watch it so you don’t have to and when the season closes, I will deliver a post mortem. Then you can always watch it after you read my impressions.
