Season 2?


I had just moved to CA when they were casting for this.. I heard about it at the last minute and I hadn't yet purchased a car.. would've been rough getting to LA, especially considering my primary phone was being repaired at the time and I was GPS-less.

Anyways, will there be a season 2? I'd love to audition for it.

I doubt it. I think this is just a one off show.

reply

Well you'd have to be in a top-ranked clan or at least work in the professional gaming industry.

Is that right? I read an interview with Kelly I think it was and she said when she auditioned she didn't even play, the producers just talked with her.

reply

According to her profile, she's a member of the vVv clan.

Actually, none of that's true. Jamal was just a high-ranked player. He didn't belong to a top clan--in fact, I don't think he was in a clan at all for anything. Geoff was high-ranked on his own in Starcraft. A lot of the gamers were ranked high on their own in multiple games, despite being in a clan. All you had to do was fill out the app and they'd take a look at you. It certainly helped if you had a history in the game competition circuit, but the winner overall of the show had only won a few local competitions. He was a true "out-of-nowhere" player.

You do realize that Geoff is a member of the highest-ranked clan in the United States, right? You do realize that?

You do realize that I already knew that, right?

Because I was speaking about Jamal and the other kid who won. They weren't in any ranked clans. They were just average guys who played games as lone wolves.

See, I actually know about the cast, because y'know, I actually worked on the show.

If there is a Season 2 (might not happen because of the bad reception people have given the show), hopefully they'll pick out more intriguing and likeable people to compete on it (such as Kat 'Mystik' Gunn)...

Well.. I was in a few of the top Age of Empires clans in the late 90s.. if that counts.

reply

Well from what I can tell, any high-level experience counts.

If they do another one, I would rather they restructure it and don't do an elimination each episode and let everyone play through several games. Do it as an on-going score. I just think that could be better, they could just do eliminations later on, in the like final three episodes.

Lady, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to leave the store.

The woman host said in the last episode said, Ladies and Gentlmen I give you are FIRST WCG Ultimate Gamer".


SoOooOoOoo... There could be a second season. I mean hell what does SCI-FI got to lose, fans lol?


OoOoo and I play StarCraft pretty damn well :D
Unfortunately I play UMS in Starcraft which means no competitions for me :(

reply

^ I noticed that too.. and there was another thing I saw that eluded to there being a second season to come, but now I can't remember what it was!

In any case, with it being only a few episodes long and cheaply made, it wouldn't be that big a deal for Sci-Fi to throw another season in the line-up between waits in their big shows like Eureka and Dr. Who.

reply

Naturally you want to leave the door open for a potential second season. No word had come down by that point if in fact there was to be a second go around, but best to be prepared, hmm?
