Kevin Rose Leaving G4 to start Internet Only Show

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the good-luck-to-you-kevin dept.

Quantum Jim writes "Kevin Rose, one of the famous contributors and co-hosts of The Screen Savers, is leaving this week to concentrate on a new technology howto show called Systm. The Systm will be an internet-only show distributed free (as in beer AND speech) in a number of formats: Theora, Xvid, WMV, H.264, and PSP (what's that?). There will be bittorrent trackers available too! If only I had broadband..."

  1. Of course he is leaving... by forceflow2 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    He knows how bad things have gotten (as if they could get any worse...) and is leaving to pursue bigger and better things that everyone knows he can. If only he could call up Leo and Patrick and have them help out...that would be excellent.

  2. Hopefully Sarah Lane stays behind... by Z-Knight · · Score: 5, Insightful
    I'm hoping she doesn't follow ... those two need to get a damn hotel room and get their frustrations out once and for all, instead of flirting continuously on-air...geez

    Here's also hoping that the new show is actually is actually any good...the last few months of The ScreenSavers/Attack of the Crappy Show have had about 3 minutes of actual computer related stuff covered in them. Thanks to all of the geniuses at G4...good job on getting rid of Leo Laporte and Patrick Norton, they obviously were too good so you replaced them with the obviously "better" (NOT!) younger hosts that did nothing but waste my hour!
