so theres a twitch channel that shows all old episodes of cinematech and xplay and HOLY SHIT
when i first started watching i said ‘if gaming of the clintion years is the gaming of the clinton years of the clinton years, then XPLAY is the gaming of the clinton years of the bush years’ and its only become more and more true
i was just watching a review for SEXY BEACH 2 and there was literally a meter (think gamepro faces but for horniness) going up and down depending on how SEXY the content is
they called disgaea one of the UGLIEST GAMES EVER
morgan webb said she had a ‘crippling pachinko addiction’ (which seems ahead of its time)
also morgan, whos like the one obsessed with cutesy games and stuff was ragging on pokemon tv for being too cutesy
‘we’ve run out of ways to describe world war two games’ in 2004 haahhaa
anyway im gonna be posting some choice quotes in this thread, ill start trying to cliip too
BONUS they have commercials
but only ONE commercial per commercial break
so get ready for songs you didnt know you memorized to get stuck in your head again
i thought e3 2013 was an isolated incident but watching xplay again as an adult makes it really obvious that adam sessler had a serious fucking coke problem in 2004
i like this twitch stream because it keeps some 2004 ass commercials in the footage and it makes me nostalgic for the days i used to fall asleep to g4. especially when they play cinematech
G4 is amazing to me because it is from that time when I no longer had cable TV (or really much of any TV aside from what my antenna could get) so it is like this glimpse into an alternate world that somehow I was also a part of but didn’t know it.
g4 is always really weird to me in retrospect because i guess it sort of made sense in 2002 but like as the internet became easier to use it made less and less sense, which is why the channel died, except it took until fucking 2014 to die!! nobody needed a show about CHEAT CODES in videogames in 2007. even in like 2004 you could just use gamefaqs. so bizarre
