About Me
Born in the Alps and raised by a group of wild elk, KnuxSonic migrated to America in the late 1980's with only a swatch watch and his VHS copies of Saved by the Bell.

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.

SPAMTOID: Reminder, gaming content returns to G4 starting Monday!
KnuxSonic | 10:50 PM on 05.31.2008 14 comments





As a reminder, G4 will re-airing classic gaming shows starting this Monday and continuing weekdays throughout the summer from 9AM to Noon EST.

If you bag on, have bagged on (like myself) or plan to bag on G4 for not airing gaming content, and instead airing COPS, Cheaters, etc. here's your chance to prove that you're bagging holds weight (maybe if you double bagged?). They've stated several times that if ratings are good, they'll look at either renewing some of these old shows or even creating new gaming-related shows, but if the ratings blow, then that just proves their point that no one wants gaming content.

They're not expecting amazing stellar ratings here folks, even if they're just a little better than what was airing in that morning slot (see: Totally Outrageous Behavior, COPS, Cheaters, etc.) then that will gain some valuable ground for us gamers.

If you have G4, watch this block! If not, then at least post on their boards that you approve of such programming and might be willing to subscribe if there were more of such gaming content.

That, or, convince Destructoid to plunge the few billion for their own cable network.

Blister FTW! AMIRITE!?

But, it would be neat to catch a few episodes of Arena.

They really need to bring back Arena, just because it was stupid and that Kevin guy wasn't such a douche on that show. Plus Nitro, from American Gladiators (at least I think that's his name) was pretty hilarious as well.

I dunno.. it's almost like cheering on the last person finishing a race out of pity.

"I still hate G4. What's the point of old gaming shows other than history lessons?"

Nostolgia for one. The other point being that it's GAMING content. If we prove that gaming content gets ratings, then they'll put more money into it. If not, then I hope you like COPS!

@MrSadistic I'm pretty sure that was Henry Rollins... or... Lou Ferigno

Anyways, I'll probably be tuning in for G4TV.com. I miss T-Dub and Thug. And old episodes of X-Play too maybe.

I only ever watch G4 when they put on Ninja Warrior marathons. I don't give a shit how NVGR that show is, I love it. I do miss a bunch of the old shows though, if I didn't have a, y'know, job, I might check these out, but I'm kinda at work during the hours of "9AM to Noon EST"...

Otherwise, I'd catch me some Arena. It was kinda crappy, but man they seriously need a show like that.

I'm in the same boat with Zombie. Did they put this block on during this time so people wouldn't watch it? wtf?

I hope the ratings blow. The gaming based shows G4 used to have weren't any good, why would I want to see new atrocities from losers like Tommy Tallarico or whatever his name was?
