I used to watch G4 network all the time a couple of years ago, it was pretty much my fav channel at the time. But i had to move to a different state and where i've been living i haven't had access to it for a couple of years. Today my family finally decided to upgrade to direct tv, and i'm scrollin through the G4 lineup only to be bombarded by a cluster f*** of shows that don't even seem to belong on the network like a marathon of cops, 4 hours of cheaters, and sum weird military show is on right now. The only thing i see thats familiar at all is xplay, and aots.

So my question is WTF!? :x

I'm not really sure what happened either. Sometimes you'll get lucky and they havea marathon of Ninja Warrior on and the occasional x-play at like 8 in the morning but besides that, I don't really know what happened either.

X-Play turned biased, and then the G4 turned into a crappy Spike TV...

Its called ratings. It got a little more popular so they brought in planners who thought they had good ideas, to boost ratings, not show quality. Just look at MTV and VH1.

The site epically failed, X-play became biased, they cancelled great shows and replaced with them cops and whatever else they run for 10 hours straight.

I used to watch this one show on that channel all the time but I forgot the name of it. It was two dudes that reviewed games in a style that I could appreciate. Forgot the damn name though:evil:

EDIT:I remember now...it was Judgement Day

Nothing like watching cheaters for 12 hours straight with a extra helping of cops to satisfy my viewing experience...

Good? No, it's far from good now :|. They're handing out 5/5 like crazy! I remember getting a game had to be extremely good to get a t least a 4/5 from them. I stopped listening to them when they said Metal gear Solid 4 had the best graphics ever over Crysis....:| they're a bunch of idiots now.

X-Play has become really biased towards the Xbox, you can really notice it by listening to them talk in the Newest G-Phoria. AOTS used to be great but now it's not, I don't know what happenened to it.
