It seems like spam... except there's no money-making links in there.

Exactly. He must, mainly because ever since G4 "murged" (i.e. BOUGHT OUT) TechTV and turned it into TOTAL shit instead of mostly shit.

Electric Playground, "It's about OMG TEH GURLZ (one of which is OMG PUNK RAWK REBALz) on their game show. All they like are sports games. Want a sports game? Go get a fucking ball."

CHEAT!, "Is a bullshit waste of a half hour. I get less from that than I do from three seconds on the internet. Not to mention all that they "CHEAT!" are sports games. OMG NAEKD SK8BOARARZ11!"

I'd go on, but suffice with this: All the shows suck (except XPlay which is good sometimes because that Adam guy is a Fallout junkie), and this thread should be locked.

This thread shouldn't so much be locked as it should have done to it what the supermutants did to Necropolis.

G4 and TechTV both have always sucked, now it's like double suck.

And another bastard from Washington, wft.

I rather enjoy XPlay. It's not a G4 show, rather it is a TechTV show. Morgan Webb makes me all hot and bothered. She will be mine......Oh, yes....She will be mine. Anyhow, I actually watch that because they give fairly accurate reviews and show games in action. The review of FOPOS was priceless IMO. I seem to recall "THIS IS NOT FALLOUT!!!!" from Adam.

I also watch Screen Savers, another show left from TechTV. Like they build computers out of cheap and/or secondhand/referbished parts and end up with computers so much better than mine for less than $500. Also get lots of decent tips for Linux and they generally have really good segments.

Don't work for them...thats a good thing me thinks.

Anyway...just passing the word more so all could vote for the g-phoria awards.

Love it hate it, watch it don't...and if you feel the need to shoot me please no head shots.

If I were a hooker, I'd demand a pimp like that.
