Thanks be to Gamers.com for sharing this with us from MTV and the parent company of Gamers.com, Ziff-Davis.

It looks like MTV and EGM might be planning a reality show based on the habits of hardcore gamers. No telling yet if it will be contest-based, or more like a documentary, but given the fact that MTV shows of either genre tend to be vapid and ridiculous, I'm sure it's bound to be a winner!

You can read MTV's casting call here, and more information will probably crop up on Gamers.com or MTV.com soon.

Fantastic.

Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN?

That sounds hysterical. It reminds me of that movie "The Wizard" (or something like that) with the big Mario Bros. contest at the end.

Gamers of the world, unite!

Or something.

Considering how everything MTV has ever produced is completely rediculous (Voting encouragement notwithstanding), this will be too.

Although it has potential, and could be worthwhile, MTV was the wrong choice. This doesn't look too good-knowing MTV, they'll pick the "stereotypical" gamer to be on the show, and show games that aren't very good-like Enter the Matrix or Superman64.
Cheers to Ziff-Davis, but hiss to MTV.
