We called it.

GameLife, the sophomoric and oddly addictive homespun video gaming show, is in talks with Viacom about producing content for MTV.

The three guys and one gal produced three shows before they caught the attention of a bunch of gaming sites. Ziff Davis Media was the first to try and snatch up the foursome, arranging a deal to have the group create an E3 Special from the show room floor in exchange for access to the expo. (Our very own Luke did the legwork behind the Ziff deal.)

Viacom bit next, opening talks with the shows producers about "creating segments to be run exclusively on its MTV properties." While I'd like to think that means MTV the television channel, I suspect they will likely be starting out nestled on the channel's gaming webpage.

"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."

Is it your head Andrew, or your pants?
