G4

What do you guys think of the channel and/or site?

It used to be awesome when there were actually shows on about video games but that's been cut back far too much and now all they show is cops, campus cops, "man movies" (ie, james bond), and only two shows that actually deal with video games.

It's awful and you should feel bad for watching it.

I don't get it, but now I don't think I want to.

I've seen it twice at two different friends' houses...once a long time ago, and there was stuff on games, cool deal. The second time was more recently, and it was all reality TV...some sort of dating show that had nothing to do with videogames. Bleh.

I'm kind of iffy on the site...their E3 coverage is the first time I've been there, and it's not very easy to navigate. I have to click quite a few links before I find the actual E3 video page. Plus, I got about halfway through the Nintendo video, and it stopped right at the beginning of Kirby's Epic Yarn (which I was pretty eagar to fast forward through). Kept refreshing the page, and nothing doing, it just kept loading up to the same spot and then screwing up.

So I had to load it on a different computer to finish watching it

Though the 3DS footage more than made up for it \m/

Some of their shows are okay. I liked Tech TV a lot better. Then G4 bought it. They promised they weren't going to destroy Tech TV, but they did. We all expected it.

It was best when it was Ziff Davis TV.

I remember a time when it was just showing old game shows based upon videogames from a decade before. Hell, I even enjoy the Battlestar galactica original reruns they got going. Course I was watching this at a friends when we were 15 year olds but when we saw the newer G4. It was really sickening. G4 do a lot of censoring though.

Shows I miss on G4:

Not really G4 related, but one show I really miss was the C-NET TV show back in the day, on the SciFi channel.

But dang, that was way back when Quake 2 and 3D accelerator cards were just coming out.
