Who votes on this shit other than lonely 14 yr olds and GameFAQ members?
(Perhaps they are one and the same?)
And Hal Sparks is the host? Please tell me he needed to extra cash to replace a transmission or something.

I havent bothered to watch G4 since the messed with the Screen Savers format. X-Play was good (<3 Morgan) but a lot of their reviews were pretty lame & more about getting in 1-liners than actual reviewing.
Besides, I get more inforamtion faster online then from TV.

Well, when we have a show on MTV that uses video game characters in mock-up music videos, what does that tell you? Besides, PSM has for years actually had a swimsuit issue with comicbook artists drawing their favorite game characters.

The idea of this show reminds me of that "PLAY"(?) magazine...whichever one had the "babes of video games" issue.
I'd just rather look at real women instead of watch some fanboy contest show about which DOA character has the best ass.

I actually like G4's X-Play show - not so much for it's reviews, but for it's liberal use of gameplay footage, and I actually find the show very funny... is there something wrong with me?

Icons has some interesting topics now and then and I like the documentary style. Not too many annoying MTV-esque camera cuts.
Every once in a while, I'll catch a few minutes of 'Judgement Day'. It's OK, but WHY is that Tommy guy on TV?

I should reiterate - I don't care AT ALL for the skits on X-Play - it's the back-and-forth banter that amuses me.
Morgan's just OK looking - she's got a weird jaw-line, but a nice rack - but she seems like she's having fun.
Tommy from Judgement Day needs to be shot.

I actually really enjoy XPlay. I've seen them give some brutal reviews, which is nice. I also think the writing has improved a LOT in the last year and I find myself laughing out loud during reviews whereas I used to just tolerate the jokes. The crappy "Mongoose!!!" animation kills me every time. Along with the foul-mouthed racoon puppet.
However, that's the only show I will watch on G4.

It pains me to tell you this, but The screen savers is no more. another g4 casualty. The show is now called Attack of the Show (I'm not making this up, that's the real name) and the tech is gone from the show, it's about the latest movies, music, and celebrities. sometimes they might show a video game or two.

I don't. I'll always like Hal because he was one of the better (and funnier) people to be on the "I LOVE THE ___" shows.
As for Morgan....i saw a show or two (proabaly one and a half) and to be honest, either she doesnt really like video games or just doesnt know how to act when the camera comes on. I just don't buy that shes a gamer.
The guy i can believe is a gamer.

twit.tv = One hour of awesome audio a week by the old TSS crew + John Dvorak. Even though it's free, I enjoy it so much I gladly donated the $20 per year to keep it going.

LOL....ok, this sounds pretty dumb allright, but who cares, some may like it.
I like some of the G4 shows, I like judgement day, xplay, and icons. I don't mind the hosts either. Attack of the show is ok too, not as good as before, but I can watch it, it's sometimes entertaining .

So this is that show that was going to be called "Girls Gone Wired" (title taken from Unscrewed)? Wow, it seems like they managed to make it even worse than what it sounded like.

Isn't Tommy Talarico a videogame music composer or something? He's gotta up the obnoxious quota so the other guy can be the calm, good guy.
I believe Morgan is a gamer, just not a good actress. Although man, those X-play bits are brutal either way (going from memory here... haven't had TechTV since around the time they changed it to G4, and the cable company decided I'd have to pay more for it)
