The internet still existed. We had articles off shit like ign, gamespot, gamespy, etc. Lots of niche sites and forums. Word of mouth and chatting with other players online and people on one of the 10 different messenger chats we had. Magazines were still relevant because subscriptions like xbox magazine will give you a demo disc to try out the games being promoted. Demos have and always will be important to promoting a game.

Obviously we have youtube now and you can watch any playthrough of any game you are interested in, so lots of these sources of information have faded from popularity.

I want to say I remember a skit where Morgan was doing a german accent while making nazi jokes. There was a decent amount of racist sketches that I think they purged from the internet because the G4 people went extremely woke. Here is one of the tame ones I managed to find https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQyQ6UrR_LI

>>726346303
Early 2000's were riding the curtails of success MTV created with edgy non standard humor. It was a anything goes era that works really well with video games because gamers, especially online ones were extremely edgy. Hell G4 was considered tame in the gaming world at the time. I think I remember a joke where Adam Sessler was talking shit to a 10 year old on CS and said 10 year old sprayed the 2girls1cup gif in front of him.

Now that literally everything you do is tracked on social media, if you made racist jokes or non acceptable edgy humor 10+ years ago you lose out on job opportunities and social connections, which is why the people on old G4 try so hard to remove that content.

I think I remember that morgan one too. Its very typical of that time with all the wwii games, especially RTCWs aesthetics of Nazis. I assumed kikes owned most of the networks already but really no one gave a shit what racist humor was being aired during that time (chappelle's show, boondocks come to mind). Obama threw in the suffering negro bone and all media changed to not offending subhumans.

What's really funny is that they thought they had to have an entire tv studio and staff for a network to run a twitch and youtube channel. The overhead for that had to be horrendously expensive.

It was good, heavily carried by X-Play, they had a show that was just game cutscenes and was nice back when youtube wasn't big, Cheat was also good.
Toward the end of the channels life they started running a bunch of garbage filler like cops and attack of the show.
X-Play carried it to the end, basically had the same kind of offensive jokes you have here but on TV, they would read hate mail and laugh at the people calling them offensive. Sad how far they ended up falling.

Some based chad has been uploading a lot of old g4/tech tv content on youtube and I must say.. it's hit or miss, it can be good but sometimes It'll make you die of cringe, like some screensavers eps will have them talking over one another and then get moments of awkward silence when a joke doesn't land, also xplay goes to absolute SHIT around 2004-05 when the 360 came out they whined about every game not having multiplayer and deducted scored solely for that reason alone

TechTV > G4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VN4nISPaPP0

I watched TechTV all the time and WISHED that my family's tv package had G4 cuz I loved vidja. I finally got that chance to watch it at some point and found it to be a letdown. Then of course they did the merger and immediately just gutted all the TechTV shows. I pretty much stopped watching after the merger and went to Revision3, which was where the TechTV people that got fucked by the merger went and kind of pioneered podcasting. Unscrewed with Martin Sargent was absolute peak television - I still go back and listen to his old podcast, Infected, from time to time.

Also, FUCK Kevin Rose and FUCK Alex Albrecht!!!

Not really. The real G4 died when it merged with TechTV before slowly becoming a bootleg version of Spike TV. Xplay is from the TechTV era.

>>726346303
>What in the fuck were they thinking?
One of the shareholders son's was super nostalgic. But its a fucking channel revival for a cable subscription that wouldn't have worked even 15 years back. G4 already had trouble staying afloat in 2004 thanks to ever increasing cable modem users where access to videos online became a far better alternative.

I liked TechTV, and I will always love it for having Anime Unleashed which would air lesser known stuff. I still remember watching Silent Möbius, thinking how edgy it was (in a good way). I liked eXtended Play when they would review bizarre low budget games. When it became G4, it lost the feel of being for techy geeks. It’s hard to describe, but it was a 14 year old’s wet dream.
>Bro video games are so edgy and cool

I did jack off a lot to that channel especially when Anna Nicole Smith was cosplaying at the G4 awards.

G4tv was heavily contentious back then. A lot of people fucking hated it, especially those who were TechTV fans. I remember when the forums merged together, it was a fucking warzone for over a year. You had people with avatars and profile gifs that absolutely despised everything to do with G4tv.

G4 was at the prime of “college frat dude bro, drink beer, smoke weed, fire up the Xbox,l to play blood gultch on Live, drink Mountain Dew, with a rockstar and have a poster of Carmen Electra, call a 10 year old a faggot, talk about how you “scored” with some slut, and drive a 94’ civic”-core. Video games used to be considered nerdy or for kids, so there was a big push to get the teen/young adult market. There was also this weird East vs West war, that didn’t matter.

Yes, i was born in '96. I started watching X-play in 2007 towards the tail end of its airing. I shit my pants because it was the first show ever about gaming and they had it on cutting edge on demand. too. If you didn't know what AVGN was then this was the shit you watched. I also had game informer magazine .

I was only able to see a handful of the Cory Rouse episodes, but there used to be a bit more enthusiasm and fun with Cheat, and they'd even do skits and things. That all changed when Holt became host. Then it was just her standing around doing nothing.

G4 pandering "gamer culture" to normies ruined the industry in the late 2000's and early 2010's. Gaming is as shit as it is because of them.

By the early 2000s, I didn't even bother with gaming mags. All of these tech tv shows and spinoffs were shit to me. They were all watered down versions of crap that I had already heard about months or years prior online.

4chan made fun of g4 during the 2000s. I had a normalfag friend that barely played video games who watched attack of the show and I hated watching it when I'd go over to his house. It was like a parody of online gamer culture for retarded dudebros to laugh at.

Also I don't want him to be interviewed by Assmomgold because he's going to get new whales to scam.

It was good because it pandered to actual straight males who played video games. It had the edge and the cringe of the era that reflected the online community fairly well. The bad aspect was that it shined a light on the hobby which led to activists invading, corpos turning gamers into a commodity, normalfag acceptance, etc.
