Remember g4 TV?

Consulting work.

 

G4 was such a victim of it's generation. May it rest in peace.

 

Assembler I love you and this forum. I hope you get back to making cool videos again. When I can afford to do so I'll see about supporting the patreon.

Anyways I used to really like Sessler even when his substance abuse issues came out I just felt bad for him. But when he came out as being pro-Zoe Quinn and started attacking his fans and gamers in general he went right off the deep end and never came back. I still see articles about him from time to time and he has just regressed into a hateful little troll who has no pleasure in his life at all. He just needs to wander into the woods and find a tree to die under.

And then she has the audacity to do the opposite of how mega man fans reacted when Metroid Other M was released and she herself got pissed off exactly the same way as we did with MML 3's cancellation although with our case it's kinda different sorta.

 

I have some on my channel in my sig

 

My guess would be clearance issues since most every show used a ton of video game footage. There's different rules regarding broadcast and sale of that stuff.

 

Oh, well that sucks i guess cuz a few of the lesser know shows showcased a couple of very obscure Japanese PC games and a few Japanese PS1 games as well with little to no information at the time sort of.

 

I have a lot of memories of the channel when I first discovered in in 2004, I was hooked until it took a turn the next year. Not all of it has really aged well, like X-Play is not as funny as I remember but The Electric Playground and Judgement Day/Reviews on the Run were great and even going back now, still hold up.

Still, while I have never seen TechTV in its glory days since I never got the channel, I do respect it and the early days of G4 when they were doing what a lot of internet media groups do now when it comes to covering games and electronics. Was it a success? Obviously not, but it was an interesting failed experiment of the era that with the right work COULD have been something better.

 

It's annoying that I can't search for this thread using g4 cause it's too short.

Anyway, G4 is all the way dead now. Esquire is shutting down and is gonna be a digital only platform.

I remember the transition from ZDTV -> ZD/TechTV -> TechTV -> G4 and the uptick and then slow decline in quality. Was super good for about 5 years there. I remember pestering my parents to get a channel package that included TechTV. Now the internet contains quite enough to keep me interested. Revision3 was good for a while before Discovery took them over, fired everyone making any decent money and brought in shallow replacements. Now I have things like the Ben Heck show on youtube to scratch my TechTV itch.

 

YouTube has replaced it all. G4, Revision, whatever.
