Something Awful on G4TV

Posted by Zonk on from the isn't-everything?-rimshot dept.

Reader Mantorp wrote in to mention an article over on Something Awful (reader beware) discussing the good and bad points of everyone's favorite video gaming channel, G4. Except for not mentioning Icons (which I view as a variable but generally good program), they nail the channels pros and cons dead on. From the article: "I almost wrote an update like this when the merger first happened, but it would have been purely reactionary. The resulting channel needed time to ferment for better or worse, and luckily for you it got much worse because my only backup article idea was a fake guide to an NES game based on the Herman Melville book Bartleby The Scrivener."

    Kevin: So that's how you download the newest fake nude pictures of Angelina Jolie and your "legal" (long dramatic pause to let his delicious rebellion sink in) mp3s to your PSP's memory card and your Xbox's hard drive.

    Sarah: (giggles) Your hard drive sure was in my Xbox last night! If you know what I mean!

    Kevin: (turns to the camera and gives a slow wink) I know how to crack your app! PEER TO PEER NETWORKING.

    "Is Something Awful making the leap to the small screen thanks to G4TV?"

    -1, Redundant.

    G4 is already something awful

  3. Article title is misleading by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    The article title should either read, "Everything Awful on G4TV," or, "G4TV is Something Awful."

    In related news, the website Something Awful has announced that they have now changed formats. From now on, visitors to somethingawful.com will be greeted with a splash screen and a redirect to a random page in the g4tv.com domain. "We have finally discovered the unlimited source of the most awful things on the internet in the g4tv.com domain, so our purpose is done," said Mr. Kyanka of the development.
