Friendly reminder that attack of the show was the most popular gaming and geek related show on television. It surpassed x-plays back in the day. It wasn’t a shame celebrating masculinity and fan service. What the hell happen? Watching old G4 Clips feels so alien to me now.

Yo britbong here lemme tell you about the shit we had.
firstly we have Gamesmaster a magazine style show hosted by Dominic Diamond.
the format would consist of a video game challenge, reviews of video games, a cheats and tricks section and then a "celebrity" challenge.
i know it sounds a bit shit but mr diamond held it all togther with sinical wit and the fact he likes video games meant you didn't feel like you were being patronized.
pretty good show and the standard for british video game shows

years and years later dominic would appear on a new network and with a new show, When games attack.
this show was a bit flashier and instead of a set format would rotatesegments per episode.
there would ussually be a top ten, a segment promoting a specifc game, a head to head between two games, a DDR contest featuring page 3 models and some end segment that could be dominic mucking about doing some shit or caraline flak going to japan and doing shit.
i thought this series was good but it seemed the network wanted things happenin constantly and so the show is too fast paced for me

this is probably why it was not so much review focussed on opinion pieces.
it was hosted by violet berlin who i'm not sure what they were trying to do with her as the host.

Xleague.tv was not just one show but an entire channel devoted to games.
when i was a kid there was nothing liek this at the time and there were to many shows to talk about here.
some higlights were tournaments ans shows made by my boy and current owner of channel awesome guru larry.
unfortuanlty xleague never had a chance as a niche channel on a premium television service buried under mountains of other channels so it died within two years

finally i wanna talk about the recent and atrocious lets go 8bit hosted by irish potatoe darra o'brien.
this is what happens when you try to take a isolationists hoppy like videogames and try to jazz it up so its "presentable" for TV.
this means lots of bright colours, competion, a live studio audiance, celebrity guests and even a motherfucking rotating studio.
no actual knowledge or trivia regarding the games played not even good gameplay, lets just sneer at this hobby like the childrens toy it is.

AotS might have been the only show anyone still gave a shit about when shit really hit the fan with G4. Adam had already turned into a bald, coke-addicted SJW and Morgan…actually, Morgan was and still is pretty alright. For AotS, Kevin was the heart of the show and he announced he was jumping ship. I gave G4 a lot of shit, but I did enjoy that last month or so with Kevin, and I love how his farewell skit gave homage to TechTV. The girls held it together as best as they could until the final episode. It's probably the only show on that shitheap of a network I was pained to see go, but it was time for the channel to die. It was Cops and Cheaters reruns 24/7, not even anymore Ninja Warrior. Even if the channel hadn't completely shit the bed, there was no way it was going to survive in the era of normalfags on the internet. Both G4 and TechTV worked when the internet wasn't as big of a thing as it is now. And let's be real, these networks wouldn't have survived the current sociopolitical climate. Imagine if Kristin Holt was still flaunting those beautiful James Bond legs on Cheat! in this age of Twitter outrage. It wouldn't even be possible, man.

This. Attack of the Show was retarded normalfag bullshit. Hell, they had a fucking segment about "sexual relationships" where people would videocall in and complain about their sexlife. They also featured that airheaded bimbo Olivia Munn who was so obviously the most normal of normalfags she probably could beat Sarkeesian for fewest videogames ever even touched in her life. Extended Play was great and even while both Webb and Sessler were very likely just actors they did a good job of capturing the culture surrounding videogames.

Adam Sessler really did go off the deep end. I remember the exact moment it happened to. He was reviewing God of War Ascension (came out in 2013) and there was an achievement for killing a female boss called "bros before hoes" and he got REALLY fucking mad about it and went on some rant about how disgusting it was to include such sexism (even though its a game about ripping people and monsters apart)
