I made some G4 rants on my Xanga...I'll share them with you guys now:

Tuesday, August 09, 2005-
I want to rant about G4 and their over-hyped, mainstreamed owned award show, G-Phoria but I can't get banned from their forums because I have friends there. So I'll just complain here for anyone who cares. Warning! There are spoilers to G-Phoria. Sorry about that.

As a few of you might know by now, I don't care a lot for G4. I just basically watch X-Play (which they are killing with idotic side characters with annoying catch phrases, pointless skirts, and reviews on games that are filled with mindless things) and Attack of the Show which so far hasn't been too bad but as had stories on worthless topics like mooning a train.

The number one problem I have with G4 is the fact they claim to be a video game tv channel yet have shows like Whip Set on cars which feature sterotypical girls in swim suits and these shows don't even look at racing titles! I also didn't care for G4's Video Game Vixen series. I understand that men enjoy looking at women but was the show really needed? Did we really need a show that reminded us how the gaming industry looks at women? As once again sterotypical girls with large breats and tight clothing in order to sell a game instead of coming up with rememberable characters, a deep story line, and good gameplay? At least it was on a game topic unlike Whip Set...

Now to the reason why this rant started...G-Phoria. G-Phoria claims to be the "Mother of All Video Game Award Shows" yet it's in the middle of the year...What's the point? It makes G-Phoria look like a belated 2004 award show with a few 2005 games, music that isn't from a game, and previews. Wouldn't it make more sense to have it at the beginning of the year for 2004 games or the end of the year for 2005 games instead of a mixture of both which now messed up the whole show?

Spoiler to Game of the Year and Other G-Phoia Awards:

Halo 2 won a total of 7 awards including Game of the Year. Don't get me wrong, Halo 2 is a good game. I've played it myself but it's not "that" good exspecial when people consider it to be one of the most dissappointing sequels due to it's bland ending. There's two possiblities on why this happened...1) Microsoft and Bungie over hyped the game which made the mainstream gamers think it was the best game ever or 2) Bill Gates bribbed people.

It would have been nice to see RE4 win at least one award but I'm not going to go crazy over that. It's just a shame that a game released almost 10 months ago is winning so many awards when there are games just as good or even better released in the year of the show.

Ah, G4...How us Tech TVers hate you so but yet you're so hypocritical and stupid that you tickle us in ways no other TV station can and that's why we still watch you. You're just so fun to make fun of and that's the topic for tonight's Xanga.

I was watching the Miyamoto episode of Icons when I saw a commerical for G4's up and coming TV special on how sex in games is wrong. I chuckled at this. Why you ask...? Well G4 isn't a very pure or family orinted channel.

They had a series that ended not long ago called Video Games Vixens. The show basical showed off large breasted, skimpy out fit wearing video game girls. They also have Whip Set which is made up of shows with real women in bikins streched out over cars and they have a new show called Fast Lane with violence and more sexual themes. It's like a TV version of GTA.

But yet all of this stuff is bad and shouldn't be in games...Does anyone besides me think it's funny that G4 has all of these shows yet is going to state how wrong they are? Oh G4...you're either with or against Thompson. Please pick a side.

Tuesday, August 16, 2005-
Oh G4...I've ranted once...I've ranted twice...Now here I go with a third.

As some of you might know that G4 is combineding and deleting a large number of their forums. According to a thread posted by Mrs_Moonlight, the following forums will remain the same:

Attack of the Show
Attack of the Blog
Cheat
Cinematech
Electric Playground
Judgement Day
Filter
Formula D
G4 Specials
G4 Sports
G4tv.com Show
G4tv.com Wanna be a Caller?
Icons
Whip Set
X-Play
G4TechTV Canada
Off Topic
G-Phoria
Site Stuff
Beta Testers

Why not combined AOTS and AOTB since they are about the same thing? And why not put Wanna be a Caller in G4.com's forums?

The post also states that three new forums are being maded.

G4/Tech TV Classics (whille have shows from the Tech TV and merge days)
Whip Set (now has Fastlane)
Barbed Wire Biscuit (what the.....?)

G4 Promos, gaming and tech news, tech support, and cable/satellite are being deleted. Any and all gaming related forums (handhelds...PC...etc) are being combined to one large video game forum. Social, Off Topic, and Sig/Art work are all now in the Off Topic catagory. The rest of the show forums are under classic.

This has to be the dumbest thing G4 has ever done. The forums will now become crowded and confusing due to hundreds of threads all in one spot. Bye bye, G4. Bye bye

Dear G4 Posters,

Congratulations!

You have finally get to do what you’ve always wanted to do. You finally get to cuss out people without filters even if it’s not necessary. You finally get to post pornographic pictures. You finally get to flame and talk down to every new comer without giving them a chance to make something of themselves. You can now spam all you want without consequences.

I hope you’re happy. You finally get to cause the chaos and destruction you’ve dreamed of. Take a look around and see what it has caused. Is this the board you want? Do you want people to look at your posts and just shake their heads in disgusted at the idiotic and childish behavior? If no…Then change now. If yes, then hope you like having pointless threads up to your knees because that is all you’re going to see.

The ridiculous reaction many of you had with this change will be chasing off many good posters. Congratulations for hitting a new low.

That's right boys and girls...it's time for yet another G4 rant. Why? Because I love G4 so much...No not really. Ok, as some of you might know, G4 has a new block of short animated shows called Barbed Wire Biscut...but the weird name isn't what I'm ranting about. Oh no, I haven't gotten that far yet. Let me fill you in on what BWB is.

As I said, it's a block of two half hour shows (It's an hour long and has two shows. Got it?). Monday and Tuesday has Brainiac which is a show dealing with science and trying experiments out. Wednesday (Yes I know I skipped Tuesday and there's a reason!), has Happy Tree Friends and Friends...This is about the only part they got right. Don't we all just love seeing cute, cuddly animals die in horrible ways right next to some of the weirdiest animed shorts you'll ever see? Friday has Anime Unleashed. That's right anime fans...you're block is gone and has been taken over by BWB. Please don't send your hate mail to me...send it to G4 instead.

Now for Tuesday...We've all heard of Cinematech right? The show with game trailers and game footage? Yeah well BWB has its big bother...Cinematech: Nocturnal Emissions. Wondering what NE is? Well I'm about to tell you since it's the reason for my rant...

But first, let's go back in time to a week or two ago. Remember G4's special on sex in games? (Yeah, I ranted about that too.) Anyway, NE is yet another reason why G4 is such a mess. You see...NE is basically nothing but a much more adult orentated (sp?) Cinematech. It contains trailers and gameplay from some games that really push the M rating like the Guy Game and Singles: Flirt Up Your Life. It's kind of like Video Game Vixens without judging.

Does anyone besides me disagree with G4's approch with the show? I understand that guys do enjoy looking at girls and at least G4 put the show on late enough that must kids won't see it...but still. They had a special about two weeks ago that discussed how bad sexual themes in games are and then go and do this...G4 really has a "do as I say, not as I do" attitude. They just can't seem to make up their mind and decide on what is good and what's wrong.

G4...You're confusion about yourself makes me laugh. Ha ha at you.
