He began gaming soon hereafter while living in the basement of Funcoland, the one out by the mall (you know, the mall where the Greasers hung out? That one.) Sonic the Hedgehog changed his life. He realized that while he himself had no talent, he could write long paragraphs about nothing, literally! To this day, KnuxSonic still plays entire seasons of MLB 2K7 without remorse.

Okay, so this is like the 6th or 7th post I've made about G4, but there's a reason now and a reason I can explain!
I'm now an employee of G4, well... temporary, over the summer, I'm something of a... we'll call it fan-consultant. Here's the long story in short form: -KnuxSonic loved him some G4, gaming TV, circa 2002-2004ish. -G4/TechTV merged, Man Show, Star Trek, COPS, other "WTF" stuff. -KnuxSonic built a site to archive the "good" G4 stuff, www.g4rewind.com -G4 wants to win back fans, see's KnuxSonic's site and hires him to help with "G4 Classics" block. -KnuxSonic has heart attack. So yes, there you have it. G4 just announced today their new aptly titled "G4 Rewind" block will consist of fan favorite shows from the past and will be hosted by myself. Now I'm probably not the best looking gamer to have his mug on TV (those are probably reserved for the Dtoid editors that appear) and I'm a little taken aback by being referred to as "the voice of the fans," as believe it or not I'm not the biggest G4 fan ever (browse the G4 forums/chat and you'll see the brave souls that are still watching daily), but you've gotta be excited that G4 is giving up their station to the fans for 3 hours a day, 5 days a week starting June 2nd. Are there any other TV networks out there that would bother doing that? For those of us that have bitched and moaned about G4/TechTV for the past 3 years, NOW is the time to put up or shut up. G4 is giving us what will probably be our ONLY chance to prove that these older shows which were focused on gaming are viable and are something we want to see. I encourage all of the Dtoiders out there to go to either my site's forums or G4's forums and post your ideas, complaints and compliments. G4 is listening right now, so let's be heard. I'll post more details as I get them, I'll also try to reply to as many comments as I can.

I think after this stint is over, I'll try blogging non-stop about HGTV. Maybe I'll get CEO?
We gave G4 many chances in the past and they ruined it for themselves. So vamanos, Adios!
If that comes back, I'll get cable to watch it on.
Congratulations, though. Don't suck!
Also, play that Cheat episode of Halo 2 over and over, the one where Kristin Holt is wearing that really really short skirt.
and 3 hours a day? wow, I guess that's nice. Or maybe they're out of shows to play.
Either way, congratulations.
I'm trying to get them to toss in some TechTV shows, although right now it's just looking like G4 stuff. I'll keep ya'll updated.
Did I just say... n/m.
