I'm glad G4 isn't on the air anymore because it would be disgusting in today's climate around tech and games
And I recognize this is mostly nostalgia talking
But GOD I miss G4
Actually I think the best time of the network was the transitionary period when it was G4 TechTV
@coriander possibly the first time I saw something beloved bought and hollowed out
@IntrepidVector I discovered TechTV in its dying days and I remember when it added the G4 to the name, that was probably when the programming was the strongest in my opinion, you still had the fun stuff like episodes of the Thunderbirds with the pop-up annotations but you also had, like, early X Play and the start of Attack of the Show
Once it became just G4 and really focused hard on video games exclusively that's definitely when it stareted to fall off, but even then it took a while for it to become real bad
@coriander I think The Screensavers may have made me a giant geek. Got me into There.com. Followed them on TWiT for a while.
@coriander oh fuck yeah Thunderbirds
@coriander in my recollection, in order to watch G4 you had to be capable of willingly watching a woman talk about video games, so most gamers today probably wouldn’t tune in
@Lady I still do not understand this mindset they have like
Back in my day "this is a show with a woman who talks about video games" was the selling point!
@coriander i would definitely watch a woman talk about video games!
