Face it ladies and gents, your childhood dreams are dead. Slain. assassinated. Crushed beneath the cold, heavy heel of the almighty dollar. What has been said for years has finally happened. We are up shit creek without a paddle.
Arena (only when it had Wil Wheaton and the fat guy)
Pulse (big titties) G4TV.com (with Scot, Tina Woods and whatshername)
Portal (lol it looked like shit but it was funny)
Judgment Day/Reviews on the Run (Tommy T and Victor L = originators). It’s a shame the show always had trouble finding a stable network. You didn’t have to agree with the reviews, but they were always entertaining.
I remember when the network first launched. They would show the commercial for “The Thing” every commercial break. Maybe even twice.
this. r.i.p screen savers greatest tech show i have ever seen. yoshi was my personal hero.
i was just thinking about an old episode the other day how its sooo dated now. the old episodes…i remember an episode where they were talking about people who made a device to detect open wifi connections. this is back when wifi was still relatively new, i think cable internet just came out. They mentioned the potential of being arrested for jumping on other peoples wifi…i laugh at this concept now.
I remember when they reviewed the MIB game and gave it a zero. I couldn’t stop laughing for like 3 months. Now Adam just bores me and he looks like someone’s uncle larry. Ugh man fuck TV!! I need a new hobby
My evening life was dominated by ZDTV/TechTV for years. Call for Help, The Screen Savers, Fresh Gear, Extended/X-Play, hell, even when they did a little branching out and did Anime Unleashed it wasn’t half-bad (I mean, shit, they got fucking Lain on TV for chrissakes). I never really understood what Comcast’s objective was in “merging” TechTV and G4. I mean, TechTV at the time had fantastic ratings and probably the widest audience possible for a network like it. So why merge a network with shit ratings with one that has terrific ratings and bring them BOTH down? Methinks someone at Comcast had ego issues and wanted “THEIR” network (ie. one they didn’t buy) to be successful instead of just leaving TechTV be and roll in the dough from it.
ohhhhhhh “Fresh Gear”! That reminded me of my honey SUMI DAS. Wow that was a smokin’ hot piece of ass right there. At the time, she was the absolute #1 on the network for me. Perfection.
I remember when the nude pics of cat schwartz were posted online. back then she was my favorite of the screen savers ladies so I was very happy when those came out.
Portal
Cheat the Pringles gamer guide
Arena and so much more.
Now it’s some fake ass shit, with “Attack of the show” which has always sucked and sucks even more with there new “Sexual appeal” aspect where they only talk about that girl and nothing else.
X-Play??? They all review games they never played but I think those people on Judgement Day seemed more like douchebags… but other people play the games for both of the shows… they are just tv show host, nothing more, nothing less…
Anything Kevin Periera says.
Marathons of syndicated cable television that doesn’t have shit to do with video games.
X-Play being turned into another generic review show.
Cinematech, Arena, Blister, all the original G4 shows being shitcanned.
Yeah thats the one. I remember back in the day they had this final fantasy only episode and they showed a ton of cutscenes from FFX, it got me some hype.
