I havn't seen it yet, but i got it recorded on my dvr.... it better be worth it to watch.

 

[Joe]

ecrofirt please quit the internet.

 

[Willco]

We need a bunch of hilarious DAMAGE CONTROL pictures so that G4 can look like ASSES on television for the second day in a row!

 

[Ecrofirt]

ecrofirt please quit the internet.

Why, because G4 sucks? Because G4 has taken everything that was TechTV and torn it apart, leaving nothing but a shell of the old channel behind, and I'm pointing this fact out to one of the hosts on this shitty channel?

If I have to quit the internet because I tell someone he works for a shitty channel, and everyone pretty much agrees that the channel is shitty, maybe we should all quit.

Or maybe you should shut the hell up about it.

 

[Willco]

Fuck this noise. I'm quitting the Internet! WHO'S WITH ME?

 

[FortNinety]

There's nothing worse than nerds who think they're better than other nerds.

This cannot be repeated enough.

 

[God's Hand]

"All be it" :lol Clearly has no idea how to spell it or what it means. Funny stuff.

 

[soundwave05]

Graumann's is a great theater. There's a nice burger joint right across the street too and a mall area next door in the Kodak Theater complex, so its not a bad place to hang out.

Even at 3 AM that section of Hollywood Blvd. is buzzing and they don't ever "close" the Kodak Theater AFAIK, you can walk right on through.

I want my GAFTV!

With a GAF program on board, you could double your viewership to like 800!

Fixed.

Thanks, I blanked out there for a second.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

Bah, maybe I'm just a jaded viewer, but I think Wayne's World has set the bar incredibly high for any 2nd rate cable TV show.

I'm sorry, but that would be the best thing ever.

 

[Lonely College Student]

ohmygod....this show sucks

 

[Meier]

Probably been mentioned but whatever. This is the dude who got us a shoutout from Mizuguchi right? Why are people being such a dick to him still? I think that was a cool gesture and he was just clarifying the situation in this thread. Don't see the big deal.

 

[ManaByte]

ohmygod....this show sucks

What happened to you pretending to be Kevin P? :lol :lol :lol

 

[whytemyke]

I think the points we can all take from this are:

1) GAF will get pwned on G4 next week... look for those nudes Olimario took to appear on AotS and embarass us all.

2) This just really whets my appetite for when Triumph gets the Ok from Conan to go to this line and start wreaking havoc again. This would be the worlds greatest travesty if he couldn't go.

and you guys should lay off kpalmarienaonekaionaqqbubz or whatever his name is... at least he's out on the net trying to guage what people think of his show and take back some actual feedback to G4, hopefully, and adjust the show accordingly. What more do you all want?

Actually, don't answer that... cuz most of you would probably prefer that he goes and blows up a set on air with an RPG GTA-style. But give the guy some credit for trying to get an ear for what people think...

No more web servers in asses.

No more X-Play.

I did find it amusing to see AOtS doing a feature on Suicide Girls the other day. Whatever kid fires up that site is going to be in for a surprise. :lol

 

[Lonely College Student]

yea well, Kevin P. on the screensavers was "allright".....

Sorry Kevin, your on your own there lil buddy!

OK, but what happened to:

See, they didn't realise that the line is there earning money for charity

? Shitty network aside, you have to be able to take it if you're handing it out.

 

[Jim Bowie]

Internet celebrity!

If you're really on AotS, say Mr. Angry Face or Snakes on a Plane or something on an upcoming show. Then I'll buy it.

 

[Azih]

people on this forum are treated like people despite who they are got it?

Even Australians?

 

[DarienA]

This thread is HYSTERICAL.

Made even more so by the fact that Kevin felt the need to respond/defend.

 

[Diablos]

G4 sucks, I want TechTV back

 

[StoOgE]

I have an actual question about content on your show, because to be honest I like a good chunk of your show (but some of the skit type stuff is kinda dumb)...

You were interviewing one of the guys from Valve and showing off the new level and the new HDR effects added to the entire game.. and talked about them like it was this really awesome new thing, and compared them to Doom 3's engine. Why didnt you mention that FarCry 1.3 had HDR effects in it for the better part of 6 months? Seems like you should give some credit to the guys who got it out the door before Half Life 2.

 

[tedtropy]

Eh, I kind of like the show. I realize it's trendy to bash G4 these days, and I've even partaked in said bashing now and then, but the new name reflects what TSS was pretty much changing into anyways. Perhaps now people can stop whining about how they're ruining TSS, it being dead and all. It's a little bit of hit-or-miss humor mixed with technology and web stories and its entertaining enough to catch as a I grab something to eat before my 7PM TV/Internet-binge-a-thon. The two Kevins make decent hosts (glad they finally realized that) and Sarah is pretty cute in all her utterly energetic shortness. We'll see where the show goes.

Also, where did Chi-Lan magically dissapear to? :lol

i dunno but im glad shes gone.

AOTS needs an audience though, the set doesnt seem as lively as it used to.

I 'dunno. I thought the show was kinda weird when they did the little live audience test period. Maybe they could just have this wall of TVs where people with webcams can participate as a virtual audience - really make the censors earn their keep. Think of the webcam whore free advertising potential!

 

[FortNinety]

Yeah, I demand an answer as well.

Yeah, I demand an answer as well.

And if he doesn't answer sufficiently, can we please launch him out of the patented Ban Cannon? I think his comedic value has worn off...

Let he who is without a dorky hobby throw the first stone.

 

[xsarien]

Well the Episode III line at the Grauman's Chinese Theater has started in Hollywood, and it looks like Attack of the Show! and G4 thought it'd be a great chance to mock those losers lining up over a month in advance. So they called the pay phone at the Grauman's and got owned live on TV.

So let me get this straight:
A network dedicated to video games is mocking people for standing in line for tickets to Star Wars.

There is a scientific term for when animals of the same species turn on each other, right?

Yes, and that term is 'teh Internet'. They were being sarcastic.

Sarcasm?!? What's that? I'd better go check Wikipedia.

 

[Dan]

There's nothing worse than nerds who think they're better than other nerds.

From the little I've seen of G4, I'd have to question whether there's even a nerd among them. Seems more like a bunch of people pretending to know something about video games and about what real fans might be interested in.

 

[sc0la]

The only reason I clicked on this thread was out of curiosity on how a thread like this got so big. I am glad I did :lol

You're on an internet videogame forum talking to little pictures of cartoons and shit about G4/TechTV. You're no better.

And III looks better than I and II.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

G4 and TechTV were doing fine on their own, but some how, they combined to make a serious shitstorm of programming. They did some things right (Got a new host for "Cheat!"), some things wrong (Didn't cancel "Cheat!", among a bunch of other things). A gaming network has potential, but this is pretty bad. Most of us here could come up with a few better shows (No GAF.com! OMGLOLWTF crap, some of us seriously could) so at the very least, their crappier shows wouldn't have to rerun the entire week.

 

[hXc_thugg]

LET'S ALL JUST STOP AND THINK ABOUT PATRICK WOLF FOR A SECOND!

No, G4 certainly has its share of nerds there. The giant-sized NES controller, among other things, is a sure sign of that.

I just think that they're being pulled in two directions.

One: To make shows about video games, which they are qualified through knowledge and passion to do.

Two: To make cool, hip TV, which is something that's very hard to accomplish because trying too hard to be cool and hip just makes you look not-at-all cool and hip.

Edit:

Intersting Sidenote: Defamer, arguably one of the meaner and caddier sites on the web, handled the Star Wars line-up story with kid gloves. Defamer on Star Wars Lineup.
