The Controller is a reality gaming show where 6 pro gamers pair up with 6 noobs and play Battlefield 3, competing for highest score and a chance to win $50,000. The catch? The pros can't touch the controller. They must coach their noob to victory. Each episode, the pros do a physical challenge to determine the order in which they pick their noob. At the end of the show, the lowest scoring pair goes home.

I watched the first episode. It looks alright. It's fun watching the pros get frustrated when they give general directions like "he's right there!" because we all know we've done that trying to teach someone how to play a video game.

Have you seen it? What do you think?

Alex of Damnitsgood808 is on it? I will watch it because he is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLaHWJ3LKss. :wub:

I have to say I agree with the second to top comment though.

'Console pro = PC Noob'?

Knowing how quick those top comments can change, it's probably not a smart thing to say that.

Sounds interesting. I'm watching the first episode now.

Interesting. Isn't Ryan Tellez of TheWarpZone supposed to be in this? I swear he said so in his "I Can't Fly F**king Jets" video

EDIT: Nevermind, I watched the video again and apparently he was just writing a song for the show, he won't appear on it.

Kind of interesting, more so because I'm familiar with some of the pro players. Weren't T2 and Neighbour on Str8Rippin together? That should be pretty competitive then.

Watched the first episode just now. Interesting concept, but I won't watch anymore episodes. The show just reeks of crap.

What was that other reality game show where people had to go through physical challenges to get to work in a game studio...? Sounds bizarre, I know... maybe I've got it wrong.

I'm not very interested in any "reality" shows so I guess I'll have to skip this one too.

haha it changed quickly, it was about the show just reeking of stupid inflated egos in general.
