Things That Piss Me Off: G4TechTV

Not open for further replies.
Hello again everybody!
The Black Stallion AKA Ikenna Unaeze here, I would like to welcome you to a new series of posts I like to call THINGS THAT PISS ME OFF. Today I would like to address the newly merged network called G4TechTV.

Anyone who use to watch TechTV (which I imagine is a lot of people on this board) knows that it has been turned into G4TechTV after being bought by Comcast. Those fuckers turned it into a god damn channel for idiots. Who had the bright idea that videogames could consume over 2 hours of television a day. My fucking Jesus Christ. I sat and watched them do a fucking play by play on a SERIES of games on some baseball game they were pimping. No more good shit like Conspiracies and Call for Help. All us TTVers get is a watered down version of Screensavers. I’m pissed.

The WORST part of this merger is not the loss of TTV favorites, but rather the shit that they replaced it with. The shows are mostly either 2 things: Reviews of games OR People playing games. WHAT THE FUCK. Who the hell wants to watch dumb rap/porn stars play videogames. "Yo. Yo. Dis game be off the hook!!!" or "I make my skin have no top on!!!" Or, better yet, a bunch of swinging dicks playing Call of Duty. To make things worse they have commentary "OOOH! He's running! He looks like he's going after their flag!!!" God. I can't stand the banality. Then you have stupid people trying to act cool and review videogames. Think XPLAY Adam Sessler X10 if you want to know how unfunny/stupid these hosts can be. I swear I have seen one of the blowhards on Judgment Day criticize a game for not having enough cuss words. Ugh. This is Crap with a capitol C. Then you have crap like filter which tries to be like all the countdown shows on VH1 and E! Hosted by some halfwit chick who doesn't give two shits about what she's acting like an idiot about. On top of this they have stupid topics like "TRIPPIEST GAMES EVER" UGH! Idiots have enough programming as it is, they have to take helpful stuff on TV and turn it into more mindless drivel. They did it with Discovery and TLC; at least there are digital channels that take the helpful info's place. Not so with TechTV. Holy shit, did I mention they have a show devoted to CHEAT CODES!? YES FUCKING CHEATCODES! The shit that your little brother wastes all the fucking ink printing out to beat easy ass games like Tony Hawk 7. Ugh, nailing my dick to the wall is more entertaining than this shit.

Let's not get it twisted... I am by all means a gamer, hell I LOVE videogames just as much as the next red-blooded American. BUT I DON'T WANT TO WATCH THEM ALL THE FUCKING TIME! GOD!

And did I mention the fucking WEBSITE! Oh geez what the fuck!? I swear Ray Charles could design a better website, even in his current condition. Remember the sites that would have a shit load of frames and stupid animated GIFs running around on your screen? Well, that was the annoying site design of 5 years ago. Now its stupid sites with a shitload of flash, bad Day-Glo colors and INTRUSIVE ADS. The ads aren't even the worse part. It's the fact that they fucking got rid of all the good shit that was on TTV's website. None of the old files of the day, poorly done show notes and poorly organized. What once was a valuble tool in computer troubleshooting has become a mire of ads and asinine tips on how to hook up with girl gamers.

As someone on the G4TechTV boards so eloquently put it "Merging G4 and TechTV is like loading a shotgun shell into a handgun. Doesn't fit, and it's going to go off in your face."

Fuck Comcast, fuck them to pieces. The bitches that made the programming decisions on that network need a swift kick to the throat.

I totally agree with you! FUCK G4TECHTV UP THE ASS. I'm very pissed that this merger went through, it's been nothing but SHEET programming

Saying good gaming television is impossible is quite asinine, in my opinion. Not saying G4 deserves any recognition as good television, but it can be done. Why can't gaming news be given to me by someone in a suit? I don't need them to be "rad", I just need them to give me information. Do it professionally. We're not all children.

I just got to watch the new merged channel this past week, and what a piece of crap it is. I can't believe people actually watched this juvenile and ridiculous G4 programming when it was its own channel. It's horrid, with rock-star wannabe hosts that are "soooooooooo damn cool dude!!!"

There's no more tech news, no more interesting stories about computer security or anything, nothing but games, games, games, games, and more "too cool for you hosts" and like 20 seconds of The Screensavers if you're lucky.

G4 sucks complete and utter ass, it has totally destroyed the best tech channel on TV, which was TechTV, I hope this whole thing blows up in Comcast's face. It's ridiculous, there's no real tech channel left on TV now, it's a crying shame. I hope all the middle-schoolers enjoy their 24 hours of crappy video-game shows over and over and over again.
