Title: G4
Post by: Banana on June 25, 2005, 05:40:14 pm
Who watches this channel? I don't get it, but I've managed to watch it before and I think it's like totally pimpin'.  It has some great shows.  

I don't like X-Play though, but the reviews are good.  Just not the hosts.

I watch G-4.

And I love X-Play.  I think Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb are great.

What type of programmes does G4 have on?

Post by: Banana on June 25, 2005, 05:48:37 pm
Video game related, like Review shows, Cheat shows, Clip shows, Preview shows, all sorts of stuff.  And some other things like Robot Wars.  Either way, it's good.

Recently, the station has been lacking.  Video Game Vixens was crap.  Cheat is crap.

Worst thing the network did was get rid of Martin Sargent when they went from G4 TechTV to just G4.  Martin Sargent made the network worth watching.

You got that, kid.

But Cheat isn't ALL bad.  It can be interesting.  Sometimes.

Oh yeah...I just remembered the other show I hate...Cinematech.

I have no interest in sitting through video clips of games for half an hour.

Yeah... the network is genius... a 24 hour cable network dedicated to video games.  Yes, SCREW playing video games!  Let's watch TV about video games!!!

Anyway, I don't really care for the channel.  Not because it's a stupid idea, just because the execution isn't there.  Either the program is boring as heck to watch (really... watching someone else play video games does not make compelling TV), or the shows are marred by blatant attempts to be "hip" and "cool" to appeal to the 18 to 34 demographic, that winds up making ths shows look incredibly lame.

I'll watch XPlay from time to time to see the reviews, but that's about it...

g4 sucks tech tv ruled before it fused.

videogame      s- what the fooba were they thinking,oh I got an Idea lets have a beauty pagent of video game characters, for people who cant get real girlfreinds  

the "whip" set- what does this have to do with computers or videogames" nothing but we "think" it will entertain our black audience.

cinematech-as kenny said- lets not play video games lets watch them.

judjement day-isnt this what X-play is for?

attack of the show-:cough: screensavers :cough: why change the name it still sucks (after it fused with g4).


arena-OoOoO a lan party tv show wow cool. see what I said About cinema tech.

cheat-I could of scrolled over to gamefaqs.com Istead of paying for 30 minutes of this load of bull crap.

Wow, this reaction is different from what I expected.

I LIKE Cinematech, I don't know why, I just do for some reason.  And Cheat! is cool because it shows VIDEOS of the cheat,  Yeah I agree Whip Set shouldn't be on G4.  Attack of the Show isn't really a screensavers rip-off, and has some cool stuff.  I think G4 could be better but it's not.  I'll give it time to improve though.  How long has it been around anyway?  I don't know, I think less than a year.  It will become good.

Anime Unleashed - One of the few worthwhile TV shows (from TechTV)

Arena - Lets watch games!

Attack of the Show! - Another original TechTV show that G4 screwed over.

Cheat! - I hate computers so much I have to watch people demonstrate them on TV instead of using the internet.

Cinematech - Like a video game movie theatre! Why play when you can watch?!?

Filter - How fun! Were going to put 10 games in order from 1-10 based on a stupid theme! How fun!!!!

Formula D - We cant show something totally related to video games (computers) but we can show drift racing!

G4tv.com - Lets TALK about games

Icons - The only worthwhile show G4 ever had besides Pulse.

Judgment Day - Wannabe X-Play, but still sucks

Player$ - Oh boy, lets see what the "celebs" play!!!!

Sweat - Cant miss video game playing? Watch sweat while they play a sport that your too lazy to play for yourself WITH a video game!

Video Game Vixens - More like OMGZZ&9*!!! 1] i w4nt her be GYRLLL!!!fred!! i NOT have 1!!7198-*!ASET :-O:-O:-O:-O

Whip Set - We cant show a computer but we can show cars on a Video Game channel!

X-Play - A TechTV gem, one of the other few worthwhile shows

BTW Banana: G4 has been around for 3 years and there as crappy as they were 3 years ago (without Starcade)
