/v/ - Video Games

No it was shit and anyone that supported it in any way is partly responsible for the SJW invasion of vidya.

It was decent when they were convering stuff from the GCN (aka Nintendos purple lunch box) and the Xbox

Attack of the Show was 10/10

>>14179823

It was good before it became an even shittier version of Spike tv, but at least they were allowed to criticize Nintendo on the shows.

>>14179857

like spamming shitty threads and suspiciously getting instant replies and 2 am?

The one thing I miss is Cinematech. That show was pretty relaxing to watch.

>>14179857

Nobody fucking cares /shareblue/.

>>14179823

>was it ever good?

Lord no.

>>14179851

>GCN

Who the fuck calls it a "gamecube nintendo" ?

>>14179987

Who the fuck called it Dolphin

>>14179857

Blame /pol/ mods. Those glow in the dark niggers killed the board and opened the door to a mass of redditards. Now it spreads everywhere. /leftypol/ did as bad if not worse by opening the door to reddit's SJW.

>>14179823

Icons was a pretty decent little series. Though Youtubers make better content for free these days.

>>14179987

Ever consider running a search on "NGC" to see if it would cause difficulties with search engines?

>>14179848

This. Also Adam Sessler pretty much invented demonizing Japanese games to look cool.

>>14179823

There was that golden age before AOTS/X-Play took over when they had Portal/Cinematech/Cheat/Blister

I only ever had it on for the game trailers. The stupid individuals talking ruined my vidya boner.

>>14180203

Wew, those are some olden caps. I recall now talking to her privately about some tub of jello business.

>>14180216

what were you gonna do with the jello tub anon

>>14179848

Quit this retarded rhetoric. You sound like an sjw yourself.

I was too poor to have the (((premium))) cable channels growing up so I never watched this shit when I had cable TV.

>>14179970

I just miss the magical ps2 days and when things where not a formula but still really experimental. Only racing games where a formula from a to z.

>>14179851

>Attack of the Show

>Ever good

AotS was representative of all the shitty things about that channel. I watched it pretty much only for X-Play occasionally, and usually even then to scoff at their reviews.

>Red Orchestra Ostfront

>3/5 stars

<laughs loudly while loading a stripper clip into his Karabiner

I liked it back in the day before they started playing non-stop cops and ninja warrior. I'm not sure why they torpedoed their own channel.

>>14181398

I would be willing to bet it was budget cuts. The company that owned the channel was probably phasing the whole thing out or looking to sell and didn't want to sink any more money into it.

>>14181352

Go snort another line Sessler.

I liked the show Code Monkeys even if it was a stoner comedy, the artstyle and references were good and not too in your face/le meme comedy.

>>14179823

During that time they were just marketing shills with edgy and sexual jokes, it was kinda good but slowly turned into a fucking pile of shit.

>>14179857

Here's your (((You))) now fuck off back to cuckchan.

>>14181611

Keep ban evading faggot

>liking the troglodyte that sucks off FPS games and can't play anything but casual trash

>was it good

Yes, it had it's moments and it was just about the only channel with a decent game-related TV show. They had some good reviews but they hit the fan and really started to fuck up. The content stopped being funny, the hosts got annoying, and everyone stopped watching. Now with that being said, Sessler and Webb always had a bit of a SJW vibe, but it was well hidden compared to now where everyone has become so open about their political beliefs and let it effect everything they do. They were no different from anyone else really at that time, because gaming has nearly always been full of left-leaning people in the West. That's why we had the Hot Coffee controversy, because the leading edgelord lied to the ESRB and the company lied to the general public. His eventual excuse was "Fuck it it's my game and I can do what I want to it!", despite it being made very clear that failing to disclose content in a game is illegal. So, was it good? At the time. Looking back was it mediocre? Totally.

No, it was full of faggotry. They tried to make fun of a legendary video by call it it "so full of the suxorz". Fucking cringeworthy. Kevin Zeeff rules

>>14182644

>failing to disclose content in a game is illegal.

Dealing with the ESRB and their ratings is an entirely voluntary process. It's not "illegal" and it's worrying that you were led to believe such a thing.

>>14182755

>it's voluntary

Not if you want your game to be carried by stores. Ratings are not necessarily mandatory, but they are mandated by nearly every major retailer in the US.

Also, it is 100% illegal. It's outright consumer fraud to lie to a rating board about the content of a video game being rated by that consumer board.

>>14182453

>>14183276

Guess vidya journalism was never particularly good nor even decent

>>14183389

Yeah, I remember techtv, back when there was one thing on TV that was actually nice to watch and wasn't a 4 hour marathon of COPS every day.

>>14183472

I've insulted several of the cuckchan faggots coming over here and haven't been banned. I've also made posts shitting on the labo and haven't been banned for that either. It smells like you yourself are from cuckchan and trying to stir up a moral panic about the moderation, as what is defended in the picture is just a raid from there. Yes, everyone knows a fucking cardboard box for $80 is retarded. The problem is that it's being used as a cover for garbage from halfcucks. Shitting on a cardboard box can be separated from allowing halfcucks.

>>>/cuckchan/

>>14180077

I remember that. He bashed every Japanese game that had an anime-esque art style regardless of how it played.

>>14182778

Why nuke it if they don't offer an alternative? Taht's just being an asshole for no reason.

The only thing I liked about G4 was early morning Beast Wars and that Kaiju battle show.

>>14185551

Kaiju Big Battel? That was great.

>>14185433

is that fuckin linetrap?

>>14185620

looks like Sue Lightning

Code Monkeys was the only good thing to ever come from that. It was 23 hours of Cops and one hour of Adam Sessler being an elitist faggot about Western games.

You can see all traces of SJWs and leftist cucks in the shows. It does not matter that they were kept low. It paved the way for the impotent cucks that we have whining today.

That alone makes it shit.

Even Tallarico, retard as all leftists are, started to sperg recently. He had nothing to lose from the current political climate. He had both western and japanese musicians by his side. And STILL the idiot started sperging about politics just to appease his cucked "friends". Now he is struggling to keep Video Games Live going, without even knowing where the hell he will play next time, as he is being boycotted in a lot of countries.

>>14182778

GOT FUCKING DAMN IT, I WAS GONNA REWATCH THOSE SHITS

>>14182662

G4 was only good before the techtv shitmerge

>tfw no more portal, icons/gamemakers cory rouse

xplay and attack of the show is normal fag dogshit starring even worse human garbage

>>14179823

>>G4 not TechTV

I remember I drank some Vodka the day the channel ended. That Candice bitch sure was cancer, not even passable as a gamer gril.

>>14180203

Cheat had a better whore tbh.

G4 was fun before the internet got good (got shitty)

>>14189202

I'm sorry, I had a mind lapse and equated G4 to TechTV

My mistake

>>14189202

>>14189206

The internet was bound to push TechTV out of relevance, hell, at least year before the merger TechTV was already airing unrelated filler content like Conspiracy Theory, Nerd Nation, and reruns of Max Headroom and The Thunderbirds. Though the other hand they also had Unscrewed, Anime Unleashed, and Wired for Sex.

>>14189828

Look for Twitter and VGL related foruns.

He is not full blown out (yet) bt he is already complaining of "changes" that the conservative mindset may cause to his pet project and "troubles" that it can create.

My bet is that he is in debt but circumvented it (probably illegally) and now is afraid of being caught.

If it is not that, i don't know. Maybe he is just another butthurt leftist.

The thing is, his shows are declining in quality at the same time that he chose to sperg, and that made some countries simply cancel VGL for lack of audience.

>>14189881

I'm looked through his Twitter, it's all self-promotion and VGL shit. Nothing spergy that I can see, at least in the last few months. I guess he's keeping politics in the forums.

>>14190002

The 2000s were indeed a trash decade outside a few things, mainly vidya in the earlier half of the decade. Anyone nostalgic for that era was a little kid in that time. Everything else was shit and only got worse by the decade's end.

>>14190041

At least we had EEnE, but holy shit did it also give us DA.

The best part of G4 was the time Adam Sessler got fired.

>>14190054

>EEnE

What?

>>14190112

>>14182662

>>14190041

I hope there won't be a 2000's revival 20 years down the line. The 2000's were a fucking terrible time.

9/11, tons of pointless wars, the economy went to shit, mass censorship really took off, the internet took its first big drop in quality, everything about that era makes me glad it's over.

Portal was a great show. Pretty innovative for pre-youtube.

>>14190002

I was going to argue, but you're right. Most of the 2000s was simply taking good things from the 90s and transforming it into something more shallow and cancerous. 2010s are a special layer of hell, though.

>>14190142

>>14190167

The sad part is you know there will be a revival. People are predisposed to looking back on their care-free youth with rose-tinted glasses and selectively ignore how shitty the era they grew up in really was. People think that because they were a kid who had no external worries in a shitty time means that said time was entirely care-free and fun for everyone that wasn't a dumbass like they were.

>>14189196

>Points out Kristen Holt as superior

>Embeds video that covers her greatest assets

You had one job

>>14189921

Or he may deleted it. It began slightly after the 2016 election. I did not archive at the time.

I liked it before it became the COPS channel. Don't get me wrong, Cops can be fun to watch sometimes, but when you take the only channel with vidya news and discussion and ruin it with that, fuck you.

I only ever watched it when I couldn't play games. Everything other than Reviews on the Run was fucking trash, if I want to watch shit about video games, it should either be reviews or history and trivia, not faggot-ass skits and bullshit "humour".

It was 'good enough' in its time, before YT eCelebs and Revision3Gaems had opened&closed.

Some of the shows and overall quality may have not aged well in the same way that some older YouTube videos have, but you could call most people 15 years from now, where most people's nostalgia tickers begin pumping up more.

embed related has aged like a tasty-ass hefe though

>>14191578

I wonder what those faggots on the west coast would have done if they were in that situation? Would they be too stupid to even acknowledge it and spend their last minutes blaming trump on twitter? Would they commit suicide because they want to pussy out of the potential pain of nuclear fire? Would they suddenly realize worldwide politics ain't nothing to fuck with, and reform their SJW ways? Or would there just be a massive AIDS boom as everyone fucks each other in the ass as their last act on earth?

>>14182662

You're 100% right. You typed it up like a dickhead, but you're right.

>>14192132

I'll admit, the 8 month long merger that was G4TechTV was pretty great as they kept most of the best shows between both channels (though stuff like Portal and some of the Tech TV shows were already cancelled by then). First time I saw it was just going to be "G4" in February 2005, I knew it was only going to lead to something bad. AotS really set the stage for how shit the programming became. Once Electric Playground was exiled back to Canada and they chose X-Play over Judgment Day for their review show of choice, I pretty much tuned out.

Also that pasta has been archived for almost a decade newfag

>>14192632

Ouch, dude. It's a fine size. right? RIGHT?

>>14192823

Anon, average is about 6 inches.

>>14193375

Don't lie to him, no woman is satisfied with anything less than 7.

>>14193443

Also as a sidenote, if you lose weight, the fat buffer around your dick will vanish and it'll look even bigger. So if you're insecure about your dick AND a fatass, you probably stand to gain an inch or so by working out and getting swole.

>>14193453

Hope springs eternal.

Their "G4 Icons" documentary series is still very entertaining to revisit and watch sometimes. I recommend anyone reading this to watch an episode or two.

I remember that I use to like watching those X-Play video reviews too as a teen, but it's kinda hard to really enjoy them nowadays. Now that adam sessler is such a major anti-Trump, pro-anita meth addict.

Attack of the show was decent, but nothing special. And with the nostalgia glasses off, let us not forget how many fucking reruns of Cops episodes that channel had all the time.

I would still bang Kristin Holt though.

>>14193845

>Attack of the show was decent,

No it wasn't.

Screen Savers > Attack of the Shit

>>14190041

>The 2000s were indeed a trash decade outside a few things

You could say the same about the 90's sans videogames, it was a political hell and lackluster for aesthetics. The music was also pretty shit.

I do miss 1995-2004 when videogames were pretty cheap to make while consoles and japanese gaming were still dominant, though.

>>14194058

Yeah, the 90s are also pretty shit as a decade, especially in the later half.

>>14190167

What will the 2010's be remembered for?

>>14194303

Somehow being worse than the 2000s.

>>14194303

the rise and fall of social justice

>>14194348

Only the fall.

Only them were delusional enough to think that they would rise above their swamp..

>>14194348

>>14194550

The fall hasn't happened yet. If anything, the late '10s will be remembered for the rise of the alt-right, alt-lite, and a general right-wing resurgence, especially with regards to Trump. I think even now we still don't fully comprehend just what a revolutionary act the election is, even if he ends up in office for only 4 years (or even less).

I loved watching Xplay even though most of the games reviewed always got a three out of five.

>>14194629

that's because their rating system was shit

>>14179823

I like TechTV more than G4, they're trying way too hard to be "geeks" while acting like a total normalfag and dudebros

>>14194602

It never took off.

As soon as they gained notoriety, People started to shut them down and run them over with cars.

>>14194602
