You are right, It used to be better.

Pornwolf 06-22-2004 02:18 PM

I agree. Who the fuck is watching that robot war shit all day long?

warlock5 06-22-2004 03:02 PM

i think this happened because of some media company merger.

WTF?

All the popular shows are still there :

The Screen Savers
XPlay
Fresh Gear
Unscrewed

And all the new shows from G4 are really nice..

Especially "Icons" I love that show. 30 mins about the popular video games.. etc..

Finally, we don't have to watch 30 episode of Robot Wars and reruns of The Screen Savers and Call for Help.

The choice is finally there..

That is the worst merge I have ever seen. Its like Vets vs Noobs. Horrible channel now.

Strife 06-22-2004 04:20 PM

Yeah it kind of sucks now but any least they still have the popular TechTV shows

Vitasoy 06-22-2004 04:24 PM

Yea I used to love watching that show, when it started.

abyss_al 06-22-2004 04:24 PM

they changed stations here too...they were on 29, now on 99...no one watches 99...wtf?

Fuck Comcast and fuck G4. :321GFY
I want informative shows that teach me something.
I don't want to watch rappers playing videogames.

Call For Help was basic, but still sometimes educational. Leo was a badass geek, and after an unsuccessful attempt to dump him from the network, they now give him nothing to do. :feels-hot I don't need all the hosts to be 20 years old with trendy clothes and emo haircuts. Even The Screen Savers is mostly mindlessly videogame related now... nothing but lan-party nonsense and 'which mouse is better for gaming' and 'how to rice out your case' bullshit.
:( :helpme

Also, the old Tech Tv website was a great resource, and Comcast/G4 just tore it apart without regard for its value. Seems like Comcast was totally clueless about what they were buying; thought TechTV was competing for their audience of kewl kidz ... or? wtf? grrrr

Everything G4 sucks donkey dick.

And they've fired everyone so there's no guarantee all the *cool* San Francisco people will be back.
