Forums - General - MTV trying to make gamers look stupid?

ferret1094 on 07 May 2008

Has anyone else had a PM from "patrickMTV" with the title "Finals disrupted by video games"?

It said:

I've been searching for some college students who are finding themselves a bit...distracted...this week as they attempt to focus on finals. I only just graduated from school a year ago, so I know the feeling. It's so much easier to put down the book and play an hour of a good game. :)

Are you having this issue? Have you had it in the past? Got an interesting story to tell? I'm looking for some folks to be featured in a story on MTV Multiplayer / MTV News that features some humorous (or frightening, perhaps, depending on how bad it is!) stories about people's finals experiences.

Let me know if you're interested. Hit me up here or at my e-mail!

a) What a crap reporter. My profile states I'm in the United Kingdom not the USA.

b) What's his motivation? Are MTV trying to kick up an "evil videogames are destroying our students" story or what?

c) How the hell does he know I'm doing my finals?

Yeah I got one yesterday. I added him to my AIM buddy list and he's been on ever since. I never contacted him though.



Games aren't disrupting my finals; VGChartz is.
