Here it is.

I've been wanting to do this for the longest. That last thread someone made about them with the Videogame Vixens was my motivation (and last straw) to bash G4. Hope you all like it!

Women are primarily sexual objects.

I'm not one to put much confidence into these "far-out" theories of the breasted sex having self-awareness so I honestly doon't see it as much of an issue.

"Sorry, we were unable to locate the object requested.

Error Code: 102"

Nope, me too.


Short letter. You didn't drive the point home. I mean, how are they supposed to know "Error Code: 102" means "You guys fucking suck and should be beat to death with European copies of Kizuna Encounter!!"

They're G4... they do not know of these things.

Wow! It hasn't even been five minutes and they already took that shit down. Oh well, I'm banned and I don't give a damn. All it was was just a rant about a shitty network. I've never done anything like that before and it felt kinda good for some reason. Ah well, it's all done and over with now.

The whole thing is retardedly sexist. They have this approach with the concept that some how women are coming out of the closet with there gaming interest like its something to be ashamed of.

Whats more funny is that alot of women are gamers but this shit is made to undermine reality.

Its like fucking burger king telling me what food is healty. Or a christian chiming about how sinful I am.

It was a bit of both. I was really frustrated with the way things were going with them and I decided to show how much I felt with them. Lemme tell you all what I typed (from what I remember):

I'll probably get banned for this but who cares. I can't believe the level G4 has stooped to with the shows that have been on this station lately. After finding out Comcast bought Tech Tv, I figured I'd give them a chance because I usually do not like mergers and monolopys; mergers always have terrible results like the time the WWF bought WCW and ECW and monolplies kill the competition thus hyping up whatever product they have while raising the price (like EA gaining the rights to use the NFL). To the point, I really cannot stand G4 for what it is. Tech Tv was a station that everyone could enjoy if you were into electronics and I was. Thanks to Tech TV, I was able to fix my problems with my cpu and I learned things both my dad and I never knew you could do with a cpu. The only reason I stayed so long is because of G4tv.com (I thank you Laura, Tina, and Geoff for that conservation we had a little while ago; I won't hold you three responsible).

G4 is the MTV of video games; they show so many craptacular shows but have only one good one. That good one is X-play but looking at it now, it's becoming crappy too. Even when they first moved to L.A. everything was still cool because they had a good chunk of the San Fran cast that wrote and produced the show. But after a while, most of the people that made the show left like the Disembodied Voice (f*ck that lame monotone sounding announcer) and the interns (some of the L.A. interns are cool but they don't have that same vibe as the San Fran interns). What's starting to get annoying with X-play is the damn puppet. Sure, he's good for a few laughs every once in a while but he get's on my damn nerves when he keeps saying "suck it" and "bitches". I still respect Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb for what they do; they were my motivation for entertainment writing. I just hate to see them go through stuff like this just to entertain the fans; it feels beneth their characters.

I just found out that Kevin Rose left G4 and went back to San Fran to do his own gig. If I assume right, he was probably tired of what was going on at G4 as well. What I'm mad about is how G4 bought out a company and left the people who made it out of a job. I know this is the rule of the corporate jungle but this is something that's out of my league. Bitching and complaining on the internet wont do me a got damn thing but I just wanted to vent out some frustration on this company. A company that has 12 year olds as its target source yet have immature content that doesn't even relate to gaming all that much. If G4 was really television for gamers, they would actually talk about gaming and not make people who love and work with electronics feel like geeks. The only good show on G4 is Icons because they actually talk about games, the history behind them, and the people who make them and play them. Crap like Attack of the Show tries to mix gaming and technology but to no avail makes me want to watch it because it's about keeping the trend making people who don't have the latest I-pod feel weak and uncool. Videogame Vixens is just plain sad because who the fuck wants to look at pixilated women and get a hard on to them? I saw it for about five minutes and changed the channel because it was just stupid. I saw they had Seanbaby and Joy Giovanni (WWE diva) and I'm sure they were thinking "WTF is this?"

Anyway, I just wanted to show how much I hate G4 or G$ and vent out some frustration on how much I hate how this station was so good (and high ranking in the tv ratings I might add) in the beginning and then turned into a softcore porn station that's animated (They take off Unscrewed but put VGV on instead?). F*ck you, G4. I hope this station burns to the ground but I hope you don't take any of the Tech TV people with you.

Yep, exactly on point. I got home from a meeting last night, watched the end of X-Play while I ate dinner, and then was repulsed by the even higher level of stupidity on VGV than I had expected. Seanbaby. Joy Giovanni. Judd from some season of Road Rules. Some idiot host.

Why are any of these people even ON a videogame network, save maybe for Seanbaby (and even he's extremely boring on tv)?

So over to SportCenter I go. Yeah, G4 really has gone downhill when this is the shit they resort to for "ratings."

You are an idiot. X-Play died long before it had that name. When Kate Botello left, everything turned to doggy doo-doo.

You're worse than that guy who posted that Adam Sessler should do porn.

:spock:

But yeh, G4 has ruined tech tv. I used to watch it all the time. I can't even sit through and hour of it without seeing some gay show like Cheat or that dumb count down show. Icons was the only thing that kept me watching. But, now with Vixens, lol..... :oh_no:

She annoyed me with her stupid face.

It was better when she left and it was just Adam.

shows like vixens, cheat, filter and judgement day really bring the channel down. all filter does is use the same games over and over again for the same inane countdowns, and vixens omg is so fucking stupid, all they do is speak and show characters from DOA over and over. however i sorta like Ciniematech(sp?) and icons cause they show in game stuff and do a decent job.

All I can say is: God bless you, and yeah, it's moments like this that make me like the arguments for a-la-carte cable... everything for me but G4 and MTV for that matter...

The show was the best BEFORE Kate Botello came, when it was just Sessler.

I'm so glad they kicked her off the screensavers too. Leo and Pat we the fucking dynamic computer duo.

Preach on brother Raz, preach on

I had watched part of VGV and really wish I could have gotten those 5 minutes back( why was there some random chick dancing everytime they went to commercial? ), in the beginning I had watched it for Icons, Cinematech, X-Play, and Screen Savers but now it's like why even waste two seconds punching in 354 to go to G4.

I'l forever be haunted by Tommy Tallrico's stupidity as he blasted MEtal SLug 3 for being "old" and "2D" :oh_no: ( stupid bitch )

I don't think I had the station at the time.

I think I got it around the time the name changed to TechTV from ZDTV.

I think that Videogame Vixens was funny & I was mostly drooling over Joy Giovanni which gave me a huge boner & so does Sarah Lane, Jade Raymond, Julie Stoffer, Tina Wood, Diane Mizota & Kristen Holts ( hope that I spelled it right).

What happend to Amanda from Pulse & did Pulse get cancalled?. :conf: :cool:

Agreed, GameSpot rocked. :buttrock:

And funnily enough, at MacWorld Expo this year when Leo was alone people didn't recognize him and same goes for Patrick. But when they walked around together people were asking for TechTV back. ;)

Out of all the shows on the former TechTV I miss The original Screen Savers and I really miss Sumi Das and Jim Louderback on Fresh Gear.

P.S. - Audiophile was one of the best shows out there.
