   The Indoor Kids podcast did a show with Matt Mira who worked on AOTS, and Blair Butler who had been a writer for both X-Play and AOTS since TechTV. I think the problem was that their key demographic has intentionally avoided cable TV since they can get that type of entertainment/news from the internet. That being said,…

   It was always awesome to see reviews of the game you developed on xPlay. The main reason I stopped watching was be cause I dropped cable several years ago. Ironically I just signed up for basic cable which would have included G4.

   There was also that Comcast-owned problem in which it wasn't carried by every service (especially for DirecTV when G4 merged with TechTV *shudder*)

   I used to love Arena, X-Play, and whatever the show was called before Attack of The Show. It was still good after the change, but I enjoyed it more before. Once they replaced a majority of the shows with "Cheaters" or whatever it's called, I started losing interest. Sucks, but I honestly haven't watched the channel in over…

    G4 was actually SUPER awesome when it was a niche digital cable channel. It was hardcore video game channel - this was prior to the TechTV merger. This channel was nerd central! I mean, G4 had an entire half hour series of MMO machinima. http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=InxMyUotVwc
