I mean, I didn't watch it that much, and it kind of had a "Brogamer" feel, but I still tuned in occasionally and enjoyed it. WTF Directv?

    We should start a campaign to bring back TechTV.

    That channel was the best.

    Goddamn G4 bullcrap is unwatchable.

    EDIT: They managed to make Xplay worse than the other shows.

    We also need a petition to bring back the days when the Discovery Channel, History Channel, and The Learning Channel didn't fucking suck.

    To be fair History used to play Unsolved History all the time.

    But no man I loved the Screensavers and Call for Help.

    Man I remember when this guest on Call for help broke some recording of Thomas Edison's voice on a beeswax cylinder.

    Even Extended play was good before they turned it to Xplay and then a skit show.

    If you're watching television to learn stuff about video games then I don't even know what to say to you.

    The only good show G4 had was Cinematech. They showed a lot of obscure games and imports and stuff.

    g4 was only good for ninja warrior

    what was that one show it had before it merged with techtv

    where it was a dude who went into a bunch of MMOs and there was some overarching story

    i actually enjoyed that show
    it was awesome

    This has basically been in the pipeline since G4 was bought by Comcast

    why would DirecTV want to offer a channel that their competitor owns?

    I am not denying her banginitude or her level there of.

    But She isn't quite good with making the funny.

    She is worse than Sarah Silverman.

    that one show that used to be on G4 that was like, a big story set in a bunch of different MMOs and there was a guy in a spaceship who would talk to them or something?

    They have their own version of that show where you have to fit through a hole in a wall moving past you.

    Jess had never seen this before, so I thought I'd share the pain and play it for her. Of course she recoiled in horror as is appropriate, but for a couple of days now it's been worming its way through my brain incessantly. SHOOT ME.

    Before that it was battle bots but most of them went to Robot Wars anyway.

    Robot Wars had a cooler arena.
