10 years ago today G4 mergerd with Techtv

Well you shouldn’t need a damn review to tell you what games you buy with your money. You shouldn’t need anyone to tell you what games you should buy.

And fuck G4. Screen Savers forever. Leo LaPorte, Patrick Norton, etc etc goat people. Tech TV >>>>>>>> G4.

I only watched G4 for Ninja Warrior.

Ninja Warrior, Cheat and and Unbeatable Banzuke. The rest of those shows could eat a fat one.

Gotta love this “expert” review. I love how he says the game easy but complains when you lose a boss battle you have to rewatch the cutscene over again. If the game is so easy then you shouldn’t be losing to bosses in the first place?

That was the norm with X-Play, unfortunately. They hated Final Fantasy and every other JRPG imaginable . . . well, they liked Final Fantasy XII.

Whenever X-Play gave a bad review, the forums got flooded with people who couldn’t type complaining about it. It was both funny and sad.

morgan webb was apparently a bitch to fans

and olivia munn pretty much denied to even worked for the channel once she got out.

I’d Deny working on G4TV too. Would hurt your career more than help.

not really. you hosted a tv show that was the highest or second highest rated on the network? ya…thats gonna really hurt your career. also the denial thing wasnt for like networks…daily show was basically olivia’s second job…obviously people knew where she worked before. i mean more or less for interviews and fan interactions.

Yeah, both of those scenarios sound most likely fine to me. I imagine morgan webb got tired of the weirdos sometimes (who wouldnt. even the best of us fall sometimes), and olivia munn had to rebrand herself again eventually. The internet will forever mark your history, but you can try to pretend that doesnt exist, and be like, “Nah, this was a stepping stone, onward to bigger and better things, no turning back”.

Im sure they both had inexcusable shit that they both did, but all in all, im sure it was no more then your average entertainer. Shit just gets amplified because they are suppose to represent “nerds”, and when they dont fit into the box people want them in, its like fuck them.

But i could be wrong, and webb is a huge dick, and munn was acting like a snooty asshole. lol

When Webb tried to post on the forums back in '03/'04, she was bombarded with questions ranging from ‘Do you really play games?’ to ‘Are you really a girl?’

She got that shit all the time.

lol. ya but she still worked for techtv/g4 then. im more talking about post job, thats when the real hate happened for both.

And then it turned into $h.t.

i still laugh remembering when they talked about how in the early days of wifi…using someone else’s open wifi port would be possibly illegal. also they had big ass devices to find open ports. lol the amount of free hacking they gave on techtv was hilarious.

May 28 just marked the death of both of these separate single channels.

They were simply better off as single channels. But once they merged, shows got axed, shit went downhill, blahblahblah.

Never cared for Morgan Webb (Overhyped). Never was around for Olivia Munn but never got the craze for her. Shame how these channels sucked so much ass when they merged. Guess people didn’t ask for enough Cops and Cheaters.

Sumi Das and Michaela Pereira. That is all. Cat Schwartz, as well.

Laura Swisher ftw

Can’t believe I nearly forgot my wife, Jessica Corbin.

I can’t believe we left out EVO coverage and Adam Sessler’s commentary during the Finals. He did ok for a guy that was a casual fan watching the tournament. Sad and fucked up how he got fired as I feel a lot of the reviews he actually wrote were good. He even mentioned a while back he hated the joke reviews.

Used to watch Cheaters but we always called it Haters. Icons was a good show but it ran out of ideas.

I thought Adam Left on his own. Was he really fired?
