G4TV's big announcement: Part Two

G4TV's big announcement: Part Two photo

But wait, there's more! Tonight, G4TV's Attack of the Show crew added to last week's big announcement with news of two more new shows.

Starting on November 9, G4TV will be bringing you coverage of six Major League Gaming tournaments leading up to the final tournament in Las Vegas. The show will not only cover all of the gaming action, but will also bring you info on all of the games and the pro gamers.

G4TechTV has also started showing Major League Gaming in Canada on Saturdays and Sundays, though there is no word on whether it's a limited gig like G4TV. So far, G4TechTV is showing all of the U.S. tournaments, but with any luck they will start showing Canadian tournaments now that MLG has arrived in the Great White North.

G4TV also announced that they will start showing episodes of Lost, starting with the beginning of the series, with a special online interactive feature for viewers to chat about the show. No specific date has been announced, only that it is set for launch in Fall 2008.

Well ... at least they added a new gaming show to the mix, and Lost is pretty cool. I guess this makes for a better announcement than just the Heroes bit.

Does anyone really like watching MLG? I mean I respect that they can kick my ass at whatever their game of choice is......but I still don't want to watch someone else play Halo or Counter Strike. That goes double when some MTV reject is hosting it saying things like "OH SNAP! YOU SEE DAT HEADSHOT? BAM!" and "SHUT DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWN!"

You forgot the part about their Heroes Post Show, with all the interactive doodads and live interviews and crap.

Maybe I'm just old, but I'm starting to get MTV deja vu. It starts with some non-music programming, then more, then more, then...hey, where did all the music go? Cover games, just games. Not "Survivor: The Realz", not "Xmen: Live Action Knockoff" just games, gaming, and gamers. nuff said.

Hell, why do I care? I don't even get the damn channel. Maybe I just hate MTV so much. I miss you "Remote Control"

There is no such thing as an "X-Men: Live Action Knockoff."

Awesome, I assume they'll be in HD like they were when they originally broadcast, cause I can't wait to se... Oh. THAT'S RIGHT, it's G4. Nevermind.

SUCK!

HD Torrents and the BluRay set coming in December stomp this into the ground. Sorry G4.

Why is everything on this network 2.0? We just want to watch the shows not what pasty nerds want to say on my Lost.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Lost isn't coming till FALL 2008? We'll be moving to the 5th season by then.

That is fuckin' retarded. That's not useful information. That's like notifying people that hate you that you're moving in 2010. Thanks for the heads up, but we probably won't want to have anything to do with you by then.

Reruns are useless now with TV boxsets.

The only thing remotly worthy of watching on G4 is Xplay and AoTS... and Ninja Warrior.

Ninja Warrior should be on the asia network or maybe video on demand or something (hell, I wouldn't even mind watching it in HD) cuz it being on G4 is kind of a waste.

I watch X-Play cuz every once in a while they entertain me, and at least they dropped a lot of those stupid intern skits as of late.

Lastly, AoTS cuz Olivia is definitely a pleasure to look at, and got damn I love the hell out of Layla (British accents, and the females that have them, definately make my body do things). I can tolerate Kevin most times.

MLG?

Those fags that allow glitches and other things? Wonderful, that's what I wanna see, a bunch of overpayed losers played Gears of War or Halo 3.

Why would I ever wanna touch a game again. when I can see better players than I do it.

Summajack... lolz. Good memories. Good times.

Ninja Warrior is cool. We DVR the new episodes, but I guess they've all been repeats lately because we haven't seen any new episodes since around June.

Fuck G4. Stop reporting shit about them, they are shit.

They have more announcements coming tomorrow.

Starting Sundays at 5pm on G4. Reruns of What's Happening Now!




Barney Miller, Monday nights at Midnight

But wait it doesn't stop there folks. Oh no. Starting Tuesday nights at 10pm we get reruns of Small Wonder. Each episode is caped off with an interactive discussion with fans and bonus footage.

G4's "Big Announcement" Part "DUH" wasn't even on their own website tonight (10/15/07). Why? Probably because people like us crashed their website with complaints and they were flooded with angry Stickcam messages last Thursday! Right now, I just feel sorry for G4's on-air personalities because they are being forced by their douchebag "suits" to be their "public tools". At least most of them like Olivia Munn have better things to do with their spare time...even if it is in straight-to-dvd B-movies and lingerie spreads.

Yes, because more shows about games would be ridiculous. And MLG can eat a dick.

I know. MLG is so boooring! It's a snoozefest. They pick the most boring games to watch people compete in. No Halo, No Gears, No COD. It's always the lame ass multiplayer games nobody plays. Also who the hell knows any of these gamers? I can only name one professonal gamer, Fatality. MLG will go the way of the world series of gaming pretty soon. Cancelled. Remember we're Americans, not Koreans. We have a short attention span.

LOST is not realistic. The FAT guy is always FAT. Who's gonna believe that? Where are the Cheeseburgers and Pizza's on this island? Apparently he's still eating hearty somehow. No he doesn't andhHe'd start losing weight. Yet every week he looks fatter.

This makes no sense in terms of a video game or tech network. I hate you even more, G4TV.
