Did anyone else catch that, or am I the only person sad enough to watch G4 in the middle of the summer?

It annoyed me a little bit about how they spoke of the Ender sequels, but I haven't played Advent Rising, so I can't really comment on that.

G4 is the antichrist that killed tech tv. Though, they did leave xplay intact.

So nope, didn't see it. [Razz]

I preferred ZDTV over TechTV and GamespotTV > Extended Play > XPlay.

Kate Botello was there before Morgan, and she seemed a lot more.. into games than Morgan. Donno. Morgan just doesn't strike me as much of a gamer. (Though it's nice to see us chick gamers represented out there. XD)

Am I the only person who has no idea what G4 is? Is it like, half of G8?

It's a cable station dedicated to video games and other geek hobbies.

I read that as "geek hobbits."

And yes, I suppose it could also be half of G8.

Edit:

"Advent Rising is a third-person sci-fi action adventure with a story co-credit that goes to Orson Scott Card. Card is a well-known author whose credits include Ender’s Game, one of the most respected science fiction novels of the last 20 years. Apparently, times are tough though, and he has to extend his name to things like this instead."

Pffffffft. *angry face*

Wow, an entire cable station dedicated to entertaining intellectual, socially awkward Homo floresiensis? Score one for multicultural tolerance. [Cool]

Hey hey hey hey! .___.

.. it's on satellite, too!

I think it's a great thing that I'm a gamer who's socially accepted at school!

Haha!

Well.

G4 is a guilty pleasure of mine. Yes, I like Attack of the Show, but I liked Call for Help better.

I have a confession...much to the shagrin (sp?) of my wife. Attack of the Show is on my Season Pass list on Tivo so I record every episode. ONLY because I want to become more of a computer geek than I am and the show has some pretty useful info. I just have to fast forward though some of the fluf.

On a similar note..any word on an Ender's Game video game? I've searched and searched but I can't seem to find anything that OSC has said on the matter.

The only Ender's Game video game I've heard of is the one you can download and play on your TI-89 and TI-83 Plus graphing calculator. And they aren't good at all.

One of them is where you're the hegemon and have to take over the world.

......it's a calculator.....
