Sessler on Bonus Round, or some other GT show, I think.

Thank goodness he finally shaved his head. It looks much better. I don't know what he had going on before.
It just migrated to the lover half of his face.

I'd rather him go to gametrailers. Love for him to be the new voice of the video reviews. GaintBomb is ok I guess. They seem less serious and play around more, and Adam seems to be a pretty serious guy.
I don't think he would fit in at GB any less than Tricky does.
I dunno, with GB at CBSi, I could actually see the Sess joining them or, more likely, joining Gamespot.

Let the man enjoy his money hats. I bet he's out of the scene for at least this E3.

Holy shit I remember those days. I havn't pulled up Gamespot since they fired him for his review. So I'd hate to see Sessler go there. He deserves better. I'd rather see him go to GT.
Edit: FUCKING CHARTER AD messing up gaf.
I shed a tear during the Command and Conquer segment. How the mighty have fallen...
I don't think many people on GAF do.
I remember when G4 interviewed Reggie about the WiiU right after Ninty's conference, Sessler was the only one asking any questions worth a damn. While the other two clowns were like, "Reggie, lemme suck yo deek" (paraphrasing here), Sessler was all aggro with the hard journalistic questions: "1080P? IS IT 1080P, GOD DAMN YOU." That's how we got that confirmed, iirc.
In other words, Sessler does his job. Charming personality, too; I don't agree with him on everything, but he's a cool guy in my book. Best of luck to him!

The Shane hate is pretty unwarranted. The guy is pretty reasonable whenever he's on Bonus Round and it rarely feels like he's pulling a fanboy for any particular system. Some journos that I absolutely adore definitely get overly enthusiastic about certain subjects, but at the end of the day, Shane - even on IW - comes off pretty even keeled. Maybe a little overbearing for some, but definitely fair.

I haven't watched G4 since it became a COPS re-run network. Olivia Munn is gone, but I see Kevin Pereira is still on the network so thats......thats pretty much it
Really? What review?

You see, I've never really noticed this. AAA games get 5/5, everything else gets 4 or less. If it's Japanese it can't get higher than 3 unless it's super-hyped like FFXIII or Xenoblade Chronicles. X-Play's reviews have always been formulaic. Whether a game is good or not, I know how he's going to review it beforehand. It's the same problem that inundates the rest of the field.

The man really needs to shave the rest of his head. That civil war beard isn't doing him any favors.
I give it a 3...out of 5.

Well, that's G4's reviews not his. And so you're saying only JRPG's that are popular here will get good review scores? That seems about right...
Adam Sessler doesn't review the games, he just hosts the show.
He does review some of the games.

Wow, him leaving G4 really must of fucked up X-PLAY. Another week of reruns.
I don't have issues with him either. Most of the guys gaf likes tend to really annoy me, so I guess I like somebody who's not waving pom-poms for one side or the other.

I stood next to Morgan Webb for a very hot second in an elevator in Vegas last year.
Adam has always done us well. Looking forward to the next phase of his career.

What was it like to see the infamous manjaw up close?

It's incredible how vibrant and youthful she looks in person. Seemed to have a real pleasant disposition. And yeah, she does have a badass jawline, and that's cool with me.
He does review games. In fact, his recent 50% score for KoA:Reckoning got my attention.

Adam made a short one shot (I hope) segment with IGN called Story time with Adam Sessler, it's 2:43 minutes in: http://youtu.be/WmbRROvz-qY
Link to the exact time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=WmbRROvz-qY#t=164s
Honestly, it's pretty underwhelming.

Wouldn't it be Tuesday, cause that's when the cast is up?

They record the show on Monday, so he was probably talking about the record time.
awww yeah, forgot about this.
Kevin Pereira is leaving Attack of the Show.
Between this and Sessler, I'm guessing one of two things:
A.) G4 is about to have its image made-over once again. This is naturally something it's desperately needed, because I think it can be universally agreed that the whole imitation-flavor Spike thing isn't really working out.
2.) G4 is about to go out of business.

I just heard about this in the Kevin Pereira thread.
I haven't watched G4 in years but I'm also anticipating a channel make-over. Back to Tech TV

I wouldn't be surprised if they are slashing costs as much as possible. They probably will just hire a bunch of people fresh out of college to host their shows to stay afloat for the time being.
