Daily reminder to gate keep your hobbies

Early, and often

Those are not JK Rowling and Dave Chappelle killing them, it's just trans people who look like them who are killing themselves.

I feel sorry for Jirard. He seems like a nice guy whose only there cause he really loves video games and is only going along with this woke shit just to fit in.

 

[Mr. Zed da Robot Poon Fed]

I don't get the love/hate relationship these people have with maleness, they want to look like 12 year old boys, but get angry at what any normal 12 year old boy would do, ie ogling boobies or giggling at dumb sex jokes.

Same reason why women want to hate men for muh patriarchy, until they need something carried for them or built by hand for them. It’s cool to hate maleness, until it isn’t.

 

[I'd abeeb bear]

Wait, who's Jewish?

Adam Sessler.

SHOCKER, I know.

Frost at G4: STAHP MAKIN WAHMAN OBJECTS, DON'T WATCH MUH SHOW!!!
Frost at G4, literally days later: I'd thought I'm dying of covid, turns out I'm having period pains.

We should change thread title to g4 griefing thread

We should change thread title to g4 griefing thread

Why? It would get more action as a suicide betting pool at this point.

 

[Dewy60]

The best way I could discribe frosk when I first saw her rant is basically this setence: She's an asshole and a hypocrite.

This is your daily reminder that G4 always ate shit. It ate shit 15 years ago, and it eats shit now. It's just the present day shit is soylent flavored.

Well, so much for that.

Hate that we didn't even get any official archives of old G4 content.

And sadly that won't happen if Comcast/NBC, the previous owners G4 (and in turn inheritors to TechTV's assets via the 2004 merger w/ G4), get off their ass and dig out whatever masters are in their vaults. I vaguely recall hearing Leo Laporte trying to acquire any and all old master tapes of original Screensavers episodes (and possibly additional ZDTV/TechTV content), but Comcast didn't want to cooperate in tracking them down.

Right now I think the only "classic" G4 stuff that anyone has in broadcast quality is their old review show Judgment Day (which frankly should've replaced X-play as their main review show, especially as X-play started larding up their reviews with sketches that always deviated from actual game criticism), since that was technically co-host's Victor Lucas' show, just rebranded for the US from its Canadian title (Reviews on the Run). This is primarily an assumption as Victor has sporadically uploaded source quality encodes of his other show, Electric Playground, on youtube.

I sure miss what Tech-TV was like 20 years ago.

We all do.

But after that whole schtick I'd rather we just go back to 90s gaming Magazines.

Those 90s gayming rags were every bit a part of the payrolla farce that was "games journalism". We were just too young, dumb, and wide eyed to notice.

G4 gets canceled, but this time from purity spirals until it only leaves scott the woz would be a funny way for this shitshow of the network

Is Scott involved with nuG4 too?

[White Devil]

Why is the ugly man screaming about men who like women?

STUNNING AND BRAVE *SEAL CLAPPING*

 

[Frosted Snowflakes]

We got a stunning & brave male ally beta cuck white knighting Froskurinn and his name is Chris Scullion. Until the internet ripped him a new asshole.

He runs a website as a "journalist" called Tired Old Hack.

Of course he's one of these journalists obsessed with GamerGate.

At least that little tag line is honest. That's exactly how they feel: "just fuck off, eh?" The feelings mutual bro, love the mario curtains btw. How long ago did your mom hang those up?

Funny too, cuz thats how Megan Rapinoe over here started her rant, bitching about "gatekeeping".

Very well said.

Adam Sessler.

SHOCKER, I know.

But he used to be blond, there can be blond Jews?

This is your daily reminder that G4 always ate shit. It ate shit 15 years ago, and it eats shit now. It's just the present day shit is soylent flavored.

15 years ago is when I stopped watching the original G4 as a matter of fact, late 2006, early 2007, I want to say I read that they got a new network head, which would explain all the sudden changes, but I just remember it taking a big nosedive, they stopped airing anime, X-Play started to suck after the third set change (I always thought of the musical episode as a series finale)

I also read that Cinematech ended later in 2007, it was pretty cool from 2004-2006 but by 2007 it just didn't feel worth watching anymore.

And sadly that won't happen if Comcast/NBC, the previous owners G4 (and in turn inheritors to TechTV's assets via the 2004 merger w/ G4), get off their ass and dig out whatever masters are in their vaults. I vaguely recall hearing Leo Laporte trying to acquire any and all old master tapes of original Screensavers episodes (and possibly additional ZDTV/TechTV content), but Comcast didn't want to cooperate in tracking them down.

That really sucks.

Right now I think the only "classic" G4 stuff that anyone has in broadcast quality is their old review show Judgment Day (which frankly should've replaced X-play as their main review show, especially as X-play started larding up their reviews with sketches that always deviated from actual game criticism), since that was technically co-host's Victor Lucas' show, just rebranded for the US from its Canadian title (Reviews on the Run). This is primarily an assumption as Victor has sporadically uploaded source quality encodes of his other show, Electric Playground, on youtube.

I remember watching Electric Playground when it would air on The Science Channel, unfortunately I felt like by the time of Judgement Day, Tommy got really obnoxious.

We all do.

TechTV really was something special, it was so authentically nerdy, it wasn't trying to be "hip" or "geek chic" like G4 was, TechTV was the genuine article, when they would air reruns it would be weird shit like Max Headroom or Thunderbirds, not Cheaters and Cops.

And when they started airing anime they started with fucking Serial Experiments Lain, something that would have been too out there even for Adult Swim, it still amazes me to think that series got US TV airtime.

Those 90s gayming rags were every bit a part of the payrolla farce that was "games journalism". We were just too young, dumb, and wide eyed to notice.

90s magazines maybe, but 2000s magazines like EGM you got authentic opinions, it's just that sometimes the opinions were dumb.

Of course he's one of these journalists obsessed with GamerGate.

The fact that he compared that unhinged rant to the recent James Bond movie is just real proof that they can’t back up their so called political beliefs without Hollywood pop culture references.

And of course, he would have a #Gamergate hashtag in 2022 on his barely viewed website.
