Umm recently they had these new shows and say it's just for us gamers and then they listed the following.


The man show- I don't even want to say whats on this channel. I dn what s more surrsing is that the men are asswholes or that the woman they extremly degrade on that show accualy go with it. Well if the woman like it then why not right. It's calle dthe man show....is that what men are like...hmm..and it's on the damn game channel.

Fast lane- some violent cop show where they have sex, I dn how that has anything to do with games.

The whip set- some car show with naked woman, and again I don't see this haveing nything top do with game.

Anime unleashed- well I love this but now they changed it and got more perverted shows just for us gamers which they said and there comercial is some woman's...jiggling and they even say watch the hottest sexiest eye candy from japan...

Cinematech was good for previews for games but now they have this other cinematch at night and the commercials show again naked game girls bouncing and say watch it at night you gamers.


O god, don't get me started on this video game vizen show which the commercial is so horrible and that the show rates game girls and they win awards which the ones that wear the less clothes,biggest...,bad aa, and ect.. No men on that show.


When g4 bought tech tv they made alll the changes above and added all those new shows. I wonder what they think gamers are.. Half those shows are not games...



Personally I wouldn't mind it if it had it's own channel but the part that gets me is that the way they say there commercials and in the shows the way they talk about it like it's for all us hardcore gamers.


Well if you are still reading this far then Happy Dance ok so now when I watch it in my house and anyone is in it they think I am watching porn or something because every other word that comes out of that channel is perverted remark,a moan, or the visuals they show of naked people....I am like I swear i am watching a game show. Ok the only show i watch on this channel which got better are Xplay,judgmentday,electric playground. Happy Dance

I guess not sad

I don't think many people get or watch this channel.

I used to watch it but not really anymore, only thing on it I'll watch is Cinematech or Filter.

Filter is good but watch Xplay sad it's much better than the past xplays that sucked.

powerfulone1987
I watch X-play, Attack of the Show, Cinematech,sometimes, not really the whole show just certain clips, and G4, i think that's the name of the show.
I use to watch filter a bit, but not anymore.

powerfulone1987
What old X-play shows are you talking about?

And how were they sucky, and how are the ones on now better?

From when X-Play was known as Extended Play I believe. The female host on that version sucked.

I watch X-Play, Filter, Cinematech, G4tv.com, and Attack of the Show. Occasionally Icons. Other than that the programming sucks.

StinkFist462
i only watch Cinematech, Filter, and Icons.

i used to ritualistically watch G4 (back before Tech TV fused with it or whatever). back when it was good.

Lana
Yeah, I used to watch it a lot more before they merged/bought TechTV.

mattador
nice point here Twist smile Yes G4TV has made me turn off my tv many a time because all thats on is a damn Fast Lane marathon mad

hotsauce6548
I usually watch X-Play and Attack of the Show now.

Cinenmatech is just retarded now. Before, when I used to watch it, it was a nice source to see what upcoming games look good or not. Now...

Fast Lane? Is that the one with the horrible acting and cheap sex appeal? Never watched it. no expression

Not sure, but there's that cop one (Fast Lane?) and then there's the one about cars, and I don't watch either...

Tru_Slice
Attack of the Show is also crap.

Kevin will NOT let up on those sex jokes.

They are NOT friggn' funny!

Italian Sausage
yeah i liked G4 at first but its just got progressivly worse as the days go by.

and i absolutely hate the geoff guy from g4tv.com(the show). hes a bastard and i hate him.

hotsauce6548
Nah, I think AOTS is pretty funny, especially Brendan Moran. Kevin's cool too, though.

And he comes out of nowhere. hysterical2


As for G4 stereotyping gamers--I know, where's the respect for VelocityGirl? roll eyes (sarcastic)

powerfulone1987
whose this brendan guy?

I also like the girl on Attack of the Show.

hotsauce6548
Brendan Moran is the guy with curly hair, who they always make jokes about being drunk.

The girl's name is Sarah Lane.

The host guy is Kevin Pereira.

powerfulone1987
They were just playing this little game on AOTS and the female host was getting kind of scared and angry b/c the male host was using the "get lucky" button on google to search stuff and show it to the audience what came up and he typed in Meat shower curtains, and she was really serious and said she wanted to keep her job and stuff but he hit the button and it really showed meat shower curtains, so then we went back and a typed in dirty spread meat shower curtains, and she was like NO!!! and he was like OH YEAH! and then he hit the button and it went to Lysol.
So he got lucky again.
But it was real entertaining to see that woman get scared about what would come up on screen.

Is it comprehensible.....

MetallicaT
i used to watch screen savers all the time back when it was techtv...everyone on g4 annoys the piss out of me

I can't even understand half of the shit you wrote. Were you taking drops of acid as you typed? Although I agree that these shows have nothing to do with gaming, and I would truly love to see them taken off G4, your reasoning sounds a little fem-nazi ish. Have you looked at the internet lately? There are naked women everywhere, and if they are going along with it, it can't be all that degrading to them. They are making a living, aren't they. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of these people who find entertainment from Howard Stern throwing bologna on womens' asses, but sex is everywhere, on TV, in commercials, and everything else in every day life. Judging by the way you spoke, I believe that you are a woman, and I will go under the assumption that you are not a lesbian (although I may be wrong) and I will also assume that you would enjoy seeing a man naked. It is the same idea. It's just that women sell better than men do. Nakedness is not degrading; it's natural.

Even if you did not understand it, everyone else did, including a moderator. Hmm, I wonder what that says about you? The point TwisterGX was trying to make was G4 stereotyping all gamers as perverts is a very unfair thing. He was not objecting to sexually explicit content itself. And assuming that he's a woman is a extremely stupid thing to do.



Oh, and being new is no excuse for member bashing. Reported.

Excuse me. Bashing other members is against the rules. Do not do it again, or you could find yourself gone real fast.

..tech tv was a better station than G4 is or ever will be.
it only had a couple shows for gamers but they were at least good shows

G4 sucks..the only show that is good is x Play and thats because its from TechTV.

SaTsuJiN
gamers have few television options anyway.... but for some reason.. I wonder how they even stay on the air o_O.. if I want game reviews I just go clicky over to gamespot or something

they should have live tournaments.. like how korea televises Lineage II tournaments lol

hotsauce6548
So Twister, not to be rude or anything, but are you male or female?

I always thought you were a guy, but I could be wrong... confused

DarkC
I think TwX is a guy.

TwisterGameX
I don't know either..thats why I looked in my profile and saw male, so I guess I am a guy.

Ultimate Hulk43
Good one TwX. big grin

I watch Attack of the Show,X-Play,Filter,G4TV.com,Judgement Day and Cheats.
