Is Video Game TV Closer That You Think?

Gamer Bitch X writes "Someone's trying to launch a gaming news channel (G4) and someone else is there to chat 'em up. From an interview at UGO where they ask if G4 were to feature a McLaughlin Group-style show, who would be your ideal panel and host?" CEO from G4: "Shigeru Miyamoto, Alexey Pajitnov, Chun Li, Will Wright and Max Payne , hosted by Bart Simpson (I still love him from my Fox Network days)." Okay, I take it back. If the above were true, I'd watch this in a heartbeat!" Riiight. I wouldn't mind seeing a few real shows about video games, but I'd want it hosted by Old Man Murray. It'd be nice just to quickly see video clips, but somehow I doubt that it could be done with integrity. I imagine a video game network being more like an infomercial channel, and well, yuck.

      YAY - it's politically correct man! Newsflash - things that are true aren't racist. Here's a quick quiz for you

      Which statement is racist?
      a) In Korea, they eat dogs.
      b) Black men are all stupid idiots.

      Did you pick a)? Then you're an idiot :)

      In fact - either you're very clever or very stupid!

      You say mod my post down, and then have as your .sig

      The most dangerous and repulsive idea is the censorship of dangerous and repulsive ideas.

      So why are you trying to censor my dangerous and repulsive (in your view) post from those /. readers who browse at +1???
