Back when I lived in Chicago, and when I was in that 18-34 year old male category, I stumbled upon TechTv’s show “Attack of the Show”. This was a geek tech that covered all things geeky. I also found X-Play for great and honest game reviews. Adam Sesler and Morgan Webb were great. Morgan, who is a complete hottie and has appeared in Maxim, is the embodiment of real gamer in a world that is often seen as male dominated. You can’t bullshit a gamer with some gussied up hottie, it’s easy to see right through it.
A year or two after discovering this channel it was bought out by Comcast and all started to change. Key people were leaving or being fired. Show topics were blunted (less geeky). An most importantly, and this was there goal to win 18-34 crowd, they started marching in the bimbos. Attack of the Show became a joke. X-Play was left untouched and Adam and Morgan continue to host it. It has always been good. In April of 2012 Adam left G4 and in December it was announced that G4 was being re-lauched as the Esquire Channel targeting the metrosexual viewer. WTF!
Thank you Comcast for screwing the pooch on this. You walked by a garden and saw pretty flower but could not resist touching it. Now it’s withered and dead.
