So as it turns out, the reason why I've been playing so many video games and spotting celebrities from time to time is because of my most hip gaming internship at MTV. That's right, believe it or not MTV has a gaming department that focuses on gaming trailers, reviews, and culture. In addition, they produce an online show called 'The G-Hole' which features gaming goodies and behind the scenes interviews with gaming developers, along with an occasional celebrity trying to game it out (aka Scissor Sisters playing guitar hero and the like). Blair Herter (who some of you may recognize as the host of some MTV aftershows) and Sir G (the coolest gamer on MTV's 8th floor) host the show along its way.
This week is gamers week on MTV and on Wednesday night at 8 PM the G-Hole is broadcasting their very first episode On-Air. Since I've been an interned helper throughout the course of developing this show, I have to give my props out to it. Gamers, and anyone else who is interested, please check it out! The more viewers they can get, the better chances the G-Hole has of making it to the bigger on-air screen (aka, so MTV isn't just about Parental Control and adolescent make out dates). The episode itself has some fun material, including features on upcoming Wii games, user made content, and a segment about arcades in Japan.
Unfortunately, there will be no hidden shots of .tiff. in the footage (only of my intern counterpart who can be seen in several segments of the episode), but if you look closely at the Opera man singing about what he'd do for a PS3, you can observe the cape that was lovingly picked up by yours truly. Woo! Go me! The cape I bought from a store showed up on the tv!

Make the most of your internship, yo. I had one for 1UP.Com all last year and I'm still getting work from them.
