Gaming - G4 Can ROT! (Rant) - View Post

So I grew up when G4 first came around ( at the tail end of the Tech TV days) and i used to watch Arenas, Cheats!, Xplay when it was funny and not a news show, Tech TV and the begining of AOTS, I loved this channel, it helped me find an outlet for my inner Gamer.  I could come home after a full day of school and sports and relax by watching Gaming centric TV whenever i wanted.  It was awesome. 

Now over these past coupe years i watched it turn into a cheaters and Cops fest.. it was heartbreaking. the channel i used to know and love was turning into a channel i could barely stand to watch with 3 exceptions.  Those being, X-play (stopped watching when it turned into a news program about videogames vs. a nonsensical hilarious show of great reviews and crazy shorts, man do i miss those interns..) , AOTS ( i stopped watchign when Kevin left), and Ninja Warrior ( which doesnt fit into the lineup, but i still loved it.) 

Now that G4 has canceled the only shows that involved game, i can no longer stand to support G4, this is an abonination on what TechTV and the old G4 was.  Im so glad that I can watch my Ninja Warrior on NBC or whatever it is so that I don't have to suject myself to turning to this horrific channel. 

This news upset me deeply becuase now i don't believe there is any othr network that has gaming centric or tech centric shows, minus GTTV which..is okay but, i can't get myself to get into it since its once a week, and just doesnt hit my intrest.  I miss the great gaming shows that G4 used to play and its upsetting that they won't ever be going back to those shows, because they make more money off of reruns of Lost, olf movies and Cops...

I'd like to know how other people are feeling with this news of no more X-Play and AOTS on G4, i know they aren't the same without their leads, but atleast they were a last ditch effort to keep Gaming centric / Techie shows on the air...
