So, who wants to agree with me and say this is a horrible attempt at trying to, probably bring up horrible ratings?

Yep.

G4 is just utter crap.

As for this show, I saw an episode at a friends, and well, there's no human word or language that could state how bored I was.

Ooh, ooh, me, me!

I'm not gonna even bother watching it or passively glancing at it. The only reason I even knew about it was because of the ads on GameFAQs. First time I even saw the ads I knew it was a terrible idea.

Never heard of it. Is it a show about girls in video games, or a show with eye candy talking about/playing video games?

From what I've gathered through my mildly irritated glances at the ads (which are close to the Console Jumper - I had to check some FFIX stuff), I think it's the former, Nick.

Err, yeah, sorry accidently edited your posts NSNick instead of quoting, if you're wondering why it says I edited it.

Anyways ... my post was:

Well, from the 10 minutes of the episode I saw ...

They have 3 people that talk to characters from games. No, you did read that correctly.

The people would ask the characters questions, and a scene from the game would be played where they spoke to answer the question.

...........

And they had some ugly girl "supposedly" playing DDR when they'd go to a commercial break.

Man, it was probably one of the worst shows I've seen on G4 since Sweat, or any other show besides X-Play.

I thought a show where all they showed was hot chicks from video could be pretty entertaining.....boy was I wrong.

They basically have these 3 nobodies act like beauty pagent judges and they vote. It would be like Sexiest Swim Suit and then theyd show a clip of the candidates...half of them not even wearing a swim suit of any kind.

Oh, and then theres this girl who just pathetically dances in the middle of everyone.

If it werent for XPlay I dont think Id ever watch G4 anymore. Attack of the Show can be pretty good sometimes, but I liked it better when they had Kevin Rose. What ever happened to him?

I disagree, G4 is an awesome channel, I watch it whenever I can, AOTS is awesome, and in canada, we get Call for help... some of the other shows are awesome to, like Xplay, Filter, Icons, etc. all mostly about video games and technology, Attack of the show and Call for help being my favorite, Video game Vixens, I havent had a chance to really watch, but what I saw was ok.

Kevin rose went to do something else, I agree, he was the best host on the show

Well compare Attack of the Show, to what it used to be, The Screensavors.

They completely buried The Screensavors, and the whole point behind it.

Whenever I see Attack of the Show now, all it seems to be is "Here's funny stuff on the internet", and that's about it.

Meh.

((is this one-word post day? First Leg, now this.. at least it's on topic))

Yeah, actually, I think that's pretty much the point of the show. Kinda reminds me of something I read in Game Informer, about the stereotype of gamers being a bunch of 'losers who'd give their left arm to see a naked woman.', or something to that effect.

Though, when they say "Videogame vixens". I'm quite sure many SF fans will think on the vixen Krystal.

*sigh*I don't even know what G4 is.

Really? When I think videogame vixens, I think Jade (MKD), which was the only reason I could think of for watching this thing.

I saw some clips of the show. Not much to it, really, which is probably another reason why you don't know what G4 is, Kitten Yiffer.

Videogame Vixens is yet another reason why video game award shows should not be televised. Okay, Videogame Vixens was just poorly thought out, but still.

I saw the last episode of it. When the viewer's choice top five for the hottest girl differs that much from the top five chosen from the judges, it becomes quite apparent that the judges don't know what thier talking about.

Though, I admit though. I don't know why Rikku won the viewer's choice. Personally, Rikku scares me. Deeply.

I don't really see the point of this at all... I mean, not only is it obvious filler, but it's not exactly helping the image of the game industry AND it's meant to fulfill fantasies of uber-nerds everywhere. :\

Watch the ratings be high considering G4's other programming.

One of the only good things about G4 is the anime that they show from time to time.

that's about it.

That reminds me, Gphoria 2005 is coming up!

Man, I'm excited to not see it!

Last year I watched it, and I think KOTOR II won like 12 Categories. Yeah, it's a great game, but it got old after it won 2. Besides that, it was a waste of time. I could really careless what the general videogame communtiy likes, Halo 2 is far more popular than Half-Life 2, while as Half-Life 2 is easily the much better game (just an example).

Valcion: Yeah, another thing they got from Tech TV. I'm glad they kept it, but it's been awhile since they've shown something worth watching like Gungrave and Magical Shopping Arcade Abenaboshi. Meh.

Did you see my post? ...

And no. Actually, I'm pretty sure from what I heard from some of the last "real" Screensavors episodes, the owner of Tech TV spent like 30 million or something on a "Public Space Program" that allows people to fly into space. After that, apparently he was losing hold of the channel so G4 just bought them out. and took a shit on them.

That's at least, what I can remember hearing.

Then they "merged".
