Guess Who's On GameTrailers TV Tonight? Just me, Michael McWhertor, unfortunately. If you're up late on a Friday and want to watch a sweater-off between me and GT TV host Geoff Keighley, one in which we occasionally wax about the big games of 2008, tune into Spike TV at 1 AM. Oh, it's so worth staying up for, especially if my statements about Xbox 360 furries haven't been left on the cutting room floor. Bold predictions and regrettable assumptions, plus fodder for mocking my opinions and fashion choices, will make for a great way to kill some AM hours. Don't miss it! Or do! Whatever!

@Michael McWhertor: Yeah, you don't how pumped I was for that furry comment.
By the way, what's this "gameplay" store? I wish we had a store around here that sells genesis and nes titles.

@Kirbytheslayer: is dancing: Epic fail. Any person with a Mc at the beginning of their last name automatically wins by default. It's like being in an entirely different ballpark. Or tax bracket. Whateverchacallit.
Go go ibuprofin. =/

Also, too bad about the absence of furries... I shall have to wait for the next time Goeff interviews you about the upcoming 2008 gaming year to satiate my furry pride... wait, no... That won't happen, will it? Thanks alot, McWhertor. Way to get my hopes up.

My oh my. You sure are a sexy monkey! I think that last sentence broke my straightness in half, and now I weep, hoping one day to realign my sexuality. (In case the irrelevant content of my comment has confused my fellow gamers, I will add that I am straight... to the max).

So when you said the PS3 would outsell the xbox at least one month, did you mean in the US? Because the PS3 already outsold the xbox in January worldwide.

=O! Medal of Honor is dead!?!?
Begins setting blog afire.
Nice amount of screen time you got that episode! (which I'd attribute to a preponderance of level headed comments). I'd feel incredibly goaded to watch if all I wanted to see the "exclusive" video of NG2, though... but that wasn't the case though ;D.

So McWhertor found a fanboy in Kirby... apart from being an indoors Friday night, I think this has to be the most bizarre thing I've seen today.

@Witzbold:
And you can watch it in HD! Now we'll see all the facial/clothing flaws!
@hikergirl:
How about we find HD videos of them both, and do a side by side comparisons. You know like GT does with 360/PS3 ports.

@Kirbytheslayer: is dancing: Crecente and McWhertor are both very handsome men. Crecente has the urban vibe whereas McWhertor has the outdoors handsome vibe. (a girl's opinion)

I've Tivo'd Gametrailers TV. It's pretty good. I get flashbacks to Saturday mornings with Gamepro TV way back in the 8-bit days. Good times, good times.

McWhertor-The face of Kotaku.
It's kind of sad tho.
McWhertor's okay looking, but Crecente is beautiful.
For comparison:
[image.gawker.com]
McWhertor-I mean, he's got that rugged thing going on, but it just can't top Crecente's flowing locks and Bird shirt.
[cache.kotaku.com]
Crecente-See? No offense to McWheror, but it's just no competition.
Okay. Now that I've typed it all out, it makes my sexuality look questionable.
I'm just going to pretend that never happened, and instead say "Good luck McWhertor! You'll do great. You always do!"

Sort of off topic but Flynn also shows up on this week's 1up yours podcast for those interested. Looking forward to seeing the wild dynamic chemistry between McWhertor and Keighley.

@Arttemis: Bad choice of words - I realize he'd be reading a script regardless, but I'm more concerned with whose script he's reading! Are his statements his own thoughts?

So what's Geoff like in real life? and is most of what he says on TV (from G4 to his Spike show) scripted? I'm really curious.
