Quite interesting, but sad to see that its possible that the little TechTV had left in it before G4 took over is quite possibly gone.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. I knew G4 was dying the moment they started airing Star Trek The Next Generation for more than 2 hours a day and brought in The Man Show which has been played to death! I call this Karmatic justice for the BS review X-Play did on Beatmania!

Amen to that. Now all we need to do is wait for Gamepro to suffer a similar fate. They're the G4 of the gaming magazine world.

(...And that's saying a lot, given how many crappy game magazines are out there.)

First, I'd like to say that I adore your Rocket Slime avatar. Second, I wholeheartedly agree with you. Gamepro's gotta be the worst gaming magazine around. I've heard people complain about the late Gamefan as well, but the issues I picked up of that I really liked (although it was mostly their focus on more niche games that I appreciated rather than their tone).

I just tuned in to G4 last night for the first time in months to watch some of the X Play reviews, and they were almost unbearable, so this is good news to me. Bye bye, G4!

Well, I'm glad that I'm not the only one who doesn't like what G4TV has become and that it's demise would be a good thing given all the crap they have done to TechTV fans and Bemani players. Something that I did see that is of interest is the 'official' G4TV blog at http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/The...lly_Bogus.html they are not closing down like numerous other outlets have reported, but supposedly are falling under the E! umbrella of things for Comcast. Now, I remember this exact line of bullshit getting said when TechTV got bought out by Comcast. Then they 'merged' TechTV and G4TV which in reality consisted of canceling every TechTV show and getting rid of all of the personalities from that network with the exception of X-Play which never really recovered to be quite honest. So who else thinks history is about to repeat itself?

I wouldn't be surprised if I saw it happen, Amp. History likes revisiting corporate America over and over.

Oh, and thank you, Madamluna!

Good riddance. They absolutely sucked and I'll never forgive them for getting rid of some of the good TechTV shows.
