I know a lot of fanboys out there will always make the dumb attacks on G4, but this guy actually compiled a great look on G4's past, present, and what he wants to be it's future. I agree with him on so many levels.

I think they've stated that they're becoming a "men's entertainment" channel a la Spike TV instead of being a gaming channel. It's sad, at least they're honest about it.

That somewhat contributes to the "G4 thinks you're a nerd" factor

The one time I tried watching that channel, I think they were showing a beauty pageant for video game characters. I mean WTF? That is by far one of the stupidest things I have ever seen, lol. They are FREAKING POLYGONS. tongue.gif

Pointless video game related specials – Video Game Vixens is quite possibly the worst special that G4 could have produced. Yes, we all know that many female video game characters look hot and/or kick ass, there is no need to make a week long event out of it. This special in particular also did nothing to improve the image of the average gamer either, it only created the image of the teenager in his basement that does nothing but plays games and jerks off. This also isolated the female gamers out there, yes they exist.


DARN RIGHT WE DO

Show some love for the girl gamers, plz. sad.gif

Seriosly, though, VG Vixens sums up everything that's wrong with G4- it's perpetuating negative stereotypes and, even worse, trying to make them "cool".

I never knew.


Anyways, I think I liked it better as G4Tech TV. It's gotten pretty trashy and boring...

like most TV nowadays.

Makes me want to go ahead and make my own gaming channel so gamers can actually watch gaming, not totally unrelated cop shows and man shows.

G4 focuses on nothing more than internet webcomic humor, and lame programs not worth watching.

I miss the old G4 days.
