There's no reason to ever spend $70 on a videogame until maybe when nintendo starts doing it since they'll never go lower than $52 in that case

Found the Youtube channel, and I can see why G4TV died so quickly; it didn't have any of the cool stuff that the channel in the 90s did. It was just a podcast??? Like, you can't go 2 minutes without tripping over a video game podcast on the internet.

No, this iteration of G4TV was also a channel on actual TV and not just the Youtube channel.

Had a dream earlier. I was thinking about Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, how I never finished it because I couldn't get the right map cards to drop. I was trying to remember and hum Sanctuary from Kingdom Hearts 2. I started dreamthinking about other RPGs I've never finished. I've been having these weird thoughts lately. Like, is any of this for real or not? A scattered dream that's like a far-off memory. A far-off memory that's like a scattered dream. I want to line the pieces up. Yours and mine. Rend. Slaughter. Devour your enemies. There is no other way to survive. You cannot escape your hunger, warriors of purgatory.

They tried to sell WBi off a couple years ago but no one really bit since obviously it wouldn't include most of the IP.

Can they at least sell the patent for the nemesis system in shadows of mordwar so some other studio can do cool things with it?

yeah I'm assuming they'd still only go down by almost but not quite $20 (those sales are usually $41.99, not even $39.99 lol) and no further

that's either rank incompetence or someone got their friends a gilded payday

i always thought bringing G4 back was an odd pivot, considering both that no one under the age of 30 has any idea what it was and that it was trying to break into what's already a ridiculously oversaturated market for general gaming news and content curation

G4 is such a great time capsule of a past that now feels a thousand years away

When g4 decided to try and make their channel seem more mature and adult, one of the choices made was to rename that show from "cinematech" to "cinematech nocturnal emissions" because nothing speaks maturity and legitimacy like a tv show about showing trailers, demo reels, and cutscenes and adding a jizz joke to the title lmao

g4 was such a dumpster fire goddamn
