I get wanting to have certain shows back but I don't think it's a great idea to brng back the same people. I would like G4 to improve instead of cribbing on stagnate ideas.
Kevin Pereira couldn't stand to let Justin Bailey make him look bad.
LOL - I still can't believe that thread. My memory is actually pretty shitty so I have no idea how I remembered that.
Still one of my favorite moments from the old site. I will never forget it.
I guess you've been proven wrong now though.
EDIT: For those who don't know what I'm talking about, Kevin Pereira used to do rants about games on the G4 news show Pulse. One particular one that caught a lot of ire was the aftermath of Nintendo's E3 2004, saying that the DS would be a disaster compared to the PSP, the "Reggielution", as was the term coined for new Nintendo appointee Reggie Fils-Aime's bombastic appearance at Nintendo's press event, was a non-factor, and Nintendo fans were kidding themselves if Nintendo's struggles wouldn't force them to go 3rd party.
In the thread made for this on GAF, Justin Bailey here chimed in that G4 would leave the TV market before Nintendo left the hardware market. Then, 9 FUCKING YEARS LATER, after G4 announced they were going off the air, he bumped the thread with a simple "Called it".
I'm glad you guys got some laughs out of it. To be honest, I was half-expecting to be banned when I bumped the thread.This was the first thing I thought of.
From Google Images:
9 years later is crazy.
You're a legend for that. I still remember a comment about you having a post-it-note on your monitor to remind you to comment when they died.
Justin hasn't been proven wrong. Since Nintendo's still in the hardware market. Even so they still died already and left the TV market. In fact Justin has the very probable opportunity to be right twice.
It's a shame he can't bump that thread a second time if it happens.
Blair is on board. That means Jessica Chobot might not be to far behind.
It's pretty much Comcast going oops we had a huge foot in the door but we fucked up And now we See Google and Amazon have this young viewership we want.The landscape is so different. I can't imagine a world where g4 exists. Silly sketches? How many YouTubers put those out every hour? 24/7 news? Refresh any gaming aggregate site like this one.
That's the rumors.
It's the pet project of some Comcast exec's bored rich son I think
I hope they enlist some of the of the previous G4 folk to help produce new content / reboots of shows, but get new talent and hosts. I wouldn't mind seeing Kevin or Morgan, et al, once in a while (or especially have Kevin be the lead producer for AotS), but they're going to need fresh faces and personalities for it to last and connect with a new, younger audience.
Though I expect them to be hocking a lot of merch. They know plenty of fans who were broke in 2007/2008 now have plenty of money to casually spend on themselves and their kids.
Only commercial I remember, that still plays in my head to this day during E3I did a commercial for G4 in 2002 filmed at E3. I only ever saw it once. Itbwas me and my brother talking about fights we had whike playing Muscle on the NES. I think they called it brotherly love. I would love to see it again. I could never find it online.
Only one I remember that plays in my head to this day during E3
a man of culture i see
I don't like the idea of just having new faces because gaming is some "young persons medium". Like they're is no need. Have veterans in the media/gaming industry and new faces.
And hopefully less 2000s circa college exploit shenanigans.

Tommy is too busy giving Doug Tenapel money.Wait, what? Aw damn, that's really disappointing...
Replace him with Tommy Tallarico or the other guy who did Judgment Day with him.
