E3 2011

Every game should have a pizza ordering feature. Handhelds should give you the option to order it and pick it up at the pizza place.

There should be games MADE of pizza.

The only reason I could think of for that is because yes.

"badass" doesn't anything in after used end fail be fine.

I made a short E3 summary on my Examiner article

How HIGH do you have to be to DO something like that?

I'm having to learn to pay the price

Extremely high, apparently.

You have to be on all of the drugs.

All of them.

Charlie Sheen can make anything out of pizza.

Is JAF on a drug called CHARLIE SHEEN? Because if he is, his brain will explode and his children will cry over his burning body.

Have I missed something? Is Charlie Sheen the new Chuck Norris?

Jonah Falcon

No, Charlie Sheen actually said something like that himself. Almost verbatim.

Rather than the new Chuck Norris, it's more like Charlie Sheen is the new batshit.

I have a message from another time...

You should show the original video, which I can't access on my phone

You guys might remember when I said that maybe we'll finally get to see a Chargin' Chuck in 3D, well we'll probably not because the new game is based on Super Mario Bros. 3 not Super Mario World (which is where the Chargin' Chuck first appeared)

Speaking of which, the new Super Mario game actually has something that, as far as I remember, hasn't been done in 3d yet: kicking koopa shells.

I think kicking koopa shells was possible, if mostly useless, in 64. Though I haven't played it in ages.

Infinite Tree: an experimental story

I am disappointed in the lack of excitement for Rhythm Heaven Wii (US) in this thread.

...meh, for my part, I was never a fan of Elite Beat Agents, nothing ever happens, we just type the screen in some rhythm, it grew old before I beat the first level.

For Wario Ware side of it, I only liked Wario Ware for Ashley's song

I haven't played it in a long time either, but I think if you try to run into a koopa shell in Super Mario 64, you end up riding it.

Helpful Scripts and Stylesheets here.

I was going to post the following on G4's Youtube account, but I don't seem to be able to.

To G4:

I'd like to start by thanking whoever made the decision to upload classic clips of the show Code Monkeys to your youtube page. That was one of the shows that really made me enjoy the G4 network in years past. Sadly, this is no longer the case, as not a single show currently airing holds my interest. I find this to be a shame, as there were exclusive and original shows your channel had aired that I really enjoyed, and watched regularly. Shows like Code Monkeys, X Play's older comedic format, Icons, Portal, and even rare viewings of Cinematech (which could've used a less sporadic design, however).

As I've said, I unfortunately find none of your current programming appealing. That is to say, neither of your main shows, Attack Of The Show and X Play, hold my interest. Ninja Warrior was a classic show, but has sadly been repeated ad nauseum and run into oblivion (but can hopefully still be saved by not being an apparent network Hail Mary thrown every single play, excuse the metaphor). "Movies That Don't Suck" are still hit-and-miss, as the presentation is bare-bones yet till inclusive of those necessary commercials at every availible opportunity, and the concept simply tired in an age where every console can play Netflix, most channels only rarely show films, and even dedicated movie outlets are going out of business. I don't really need shows and segments telling me what's popular on the internet or what made up definition I should be interested in; if it was that popular, I'd have already seen it, or will eventually. The less that is said about COPS, the better.

My only guess for why your network airs a schedule that is simply considered derivative and unsatisfactory by nearly every current and former fan I have talked to is that the network's financial situation is one where production costs and advertising revenue place programming in a tight situation. Considering the channel's limited coverage status, former narrow focus, possible sale and the general economic condition, some of this is understandable. That however does not mean that a general discontent in former and possibly current fans is excuseable. One common thread permeating complaints and hopes lobbed at G4 is this: simply having topical and/or higher quality programming. As stated above, this could include shows like Code Monkeys, Icons, Portal, and a retooled, coherent Cinematech. Maybe a promotion with the PAX expos, or Penny Arcade's Child's Play charities. "Gabe and Tycho" have proved that gamer culture can still be influential and profitable. I hear your network has acquired Arrested Development. While it has nothing to do with gaming, it is however a fantastic show, and I would absolutely watch it when aired. Publicity and advertising could even be used to tie in to the movie, if that were to ever actually come out. The same could be said for continuing to air Beast Wars or G1 Transformers, or similar rare shows that can't easily be ordered in the mail on DVD.

As a person who rarely watches tv anymore, I do still pine for the days when there was a different channel, with rare programming that still held my interest. I would greatly enjoy seeing G4 becoming that network again, and would actually return to watching it for more than 4 hours of E3 coverage during the year, and would remove the word "former" from my status as a fan of G4.

Sincerely, An 18 - 35 year old male.

P.S.: If your network is already doing any of these things, please excuse my ignorance. Again, I no longer watch, but would love to if informed of a reason to do so.

does anyone know where I could post that that they might see it? I'm about to check their page for the first time this year for a "contact us" link.

tl;dr: how G4 can stop sucking.

No offense but I wouldn't even bother. They never read things like that.
