Commence ranting in... 3.... 2....1.

I've read every damn comic of Penny Arcade! in the course of 6.5 hours.

Gee, thanks Lance.

I got a thing about reading anything about games and gamers. We have so little representation, it scares me. I mean, if housework has had two channel on cable to itself for ages and more then twenty magazines on it, isn't it fair that we get our own stuff too?

If anyone even thinks G4-Tech TV, I'll shoot them.

Watch it for two hours and see what I mean. Could their news shows be more outdated? Yesterday I saw one that was "excited about the upcoming game Mario Cart Double Dash". WTFH? That's been out ages! If they can't give us current info, why bother? You think I want to hear a review of the "new" Everquest game on the PS2, or do I wanna see some footage of the next Prince of Persia game, dumbfucks? Rumors of Squenix doing an X-Box RPG? An interview with Hideo-san about MGS3? Use your brains, people! In an industry that's so fast-paced, you gotta keep up!

Granted some shows are okay. CHEAT! is always interesting, Icons is uber-l33t, and Arena is a cool deathmatch.

But we need more. How about:

-a reality show that takes gamers and gets them working on a game in a lead position?

-a show that pick one upcoming/newly released/buried treasure game and does a full disesmble of it. A Behind-the-Scenes thing.

-a new review show. Cancel Judgement Day and X-Play and take reviewing rights out of the news shows hands. Give me five gamers with diverse tastes (i.e. Platformer, RPGer, FPS fan, Sport Gamer, and an Eccentric gamer.) Have two of them review each game, the guy who specializes in it and someone who doesn't. And give me some real gamers to review it, not some figurehead or mediocre kid. Hard-core, beat-your-ass-at-UT, been-here-since-Atari l33t dude.

-an expansion of the show Cinematech, argueably to coolest there. More games, longer footage, maybe a info pop-up that gives release dates, fun facts, and such.

-a half-hour show on foreign games. As every gamer knows, we barely get a tenth of Japan's games. Rate the show PG-13 and show us what we're missing out on.

-the entire network needs an update team overhaul, keep the news top-notch. Make it live, like local news. Well, maybe not local, but world news, definately. Hey, if E! and Access Hollywood can do it, why not us?

-get rid of G4TV.com's (yes, the show's based on website happenings) hosts, if not cancelt he whole shibang. They are annoying the shit outta me and whenever I see they're badly scripted actions, I want to tear my hair out.

-a show for the hundreds of webcomics out there. Here's my plan: Get rights to about four webcomics. Make animated segments of them about 10 minutes long. Do three segments a show.


There. I'm done ranting for now. I'm off to play my Ratchet & Clank 2 game.
