GameLife is Movin' on Up
by Chris Remo, May 03, 2006 3:46pm PDTFree fan-produced video game review show GameLife has gained a notable amount of internet fame in recent months, possibly in part due to the casual and sometimes awkward presentation of its teenaged hosts. Now the show, which has seen three episodes so far and which focuses on reviews of video games and game peripherals, seems to be getting noticed in places other than just internet forums. Ziff-Davis Meda, which publishes gaming site 1UP.com and magazines such as Electronic Gaming World, Computer Gaming World, and Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine, has signed GameLife to cover E3 and deliver reviews and interviews in a special episode of the show taped on the expo floore. However, the show's success doesn't stop there. In an announcement today, GameLife revealed that it is in talks with media giant Viacom with the possibility of producing exclusive GameLife segments for broadcast on MTV's properties, which include several TV networks and websites.
GameLife began as a fun hobby for three friends and has turned into an Internet phenomenon thanks to the popularity of online video sites such as Google Video, YouTube and Myspace.... "I feel like everything is about to explode," says the show's 19-year-old creator and host Andrew Rosenblum. "A few months ago we're hanging out making a show at home, now we're filming at the E3 expo and talking with MTV about doing reviews for them."Aren't familiar with GameLife? Don't know why this is all such a big deal? Check out an episode or two, and you'll understand.

Firstly I've wanted to start up a free vodcast type of gameshow. Though of course me and my friends would suck at hosting so I was going to hire or try to find someone at least to host it off (preferably hot good looking girls ;)).
Eventually I might do that but damn if this is all it takes to get a popular show on the net then I should just start using a webcam now and doing it all myself ;)

besides the autistic kids who make up most of the show there is one segement in ep. 3 that had me lolling.
watch from about 20:55 to about 24:44. I can't tell if he is making fun of the show or really as retarded as the other guys (he certainly has a sense of humor though). Best review for a game EVAR!
also someone mentioned they were college students... which cannot be true. unless maybe they are really awesome actors, playing awkward high school kids. because the other option would just be... so... so

That or they think it's just as hilarious as everyone else does, but they have the power to make it even MORE hilarious by doing this. I'm going with my first answer.
