Clearly the solution for G4 is to get Tommy Tollarico to host a 24 hour/365 day video game review show.

[Infinite Justice]

Isn't Adam supposed to be on the Bombcast today?

[Jay-B]

Isn't Adam supposed to be on the Bombcast today?

Yep. Looking forward to it.

[Lionel Mandrake]

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.

Not looking good for them.

[LiK]

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.

gawd no. I like Sessler's opinions but his super hyper voice would drive me nuts for the video reviews.

[MiniBossBattle]

Yep. Looking forward to it.

I predict yelling, overtalking and high pitched stuttering from Adam and Patrick. Its going to be the Adam and Pat show.

I miss the old Giant Bomb days of Patrick not talking all the time.

[El_TigroX]

Adam Sessler alright eastern seaboard, steel yourself...I arrive Tuesday. First stop DC then NYC. #travellinghobo

Not trying to start a rumor here... but I wonder if he's doing this for business. The only content company really based in DC is SBNation (Polygon)... I wonder....

[Andrex]

He should stop off in Boston again.

[Patryn]

I wouldn't be surprised if he's currently talking to multiple companies weighing offers and options.

[RPGCrazied]

X-PLAY today is the first day back without Adam. They have been rerunning the show for the past 2 weeks. Will be interesting.

It's probably just going to be Blair and Morgan. I'm curious however to see if they address what happened at all or just ignore it completely. Betting on the latter.

After how he left, I doubt it. They probably will at least say he went on to other things and good luck. He might not even get that.

[TheOddOne]

"Let me tell you about this thing I have heard, but have not done enough research on. Will get back to you about that."

[Patryn]

Probably acknowledge that someone is the new main co-host, but never mention Adam or what happened to cause the promotion.

[Gustav]

Never seen or heard this Adam Sessler guy before, but why is he always yelling? Saw him on the Bonus Round, Up at Noon and heard him on the Bombcast. He's always yelling. He's worse than Greg Miller.

He has a speech impediment and can't help but TALK REALLY LOUDLY!!!

Seriously, I don't know. He's very emphatic.

[HylianTom]

Man oh man.. G4 fading, 1Up down to four fine folks.. what a year this has been already!

[DrBo42]

^ G4 is shutting down by the end of summer.

[Baron_Calamity]

Comcast has been trying to sell the channel for almost a year now. The latest talk is comcast/nbc has stopped trying to sell it and with E!'s rebranding happening in July, G4TV will get rebranded as an E! channel. G4s lineup of original content isn't suppose to change, but instead of Cops reruns, it would play reruns of E!'s older programs and some reality shows.

[Gustav]

After hearing him again I realized what he sounds like. Like an early 90s WWF wrestler.

It really is one of the most ridiculous examples of acquiring a channel, isn't it? They consume TechTV, only to systematically destroy everything that was kept over, seemingly to the point it just becomes an E! channel.

[lucius]

Even though I had some problems with X-play and AOTS at least they had video game news and info. Guess Microsoft's quarter of a billion monies ran out and they see no need to invest in the channel again, that's probably the only reason they lasted as long as they did anyway.

Oh yeah there still is Spike TV at least that is good right?

I mostly just want to watch E3 conferences without having to boot up my laptop.

[tedtropy]

Hah, not even a mention of Adam on the new episode. He's just magically gone after over a decade of hosting the show. I get that it was a contract thing, but way to stay classy, G4...

[Deified Data]

I noticed that, too. Seemed pretty shitty. I can understand avoiding it for the sake of avoiding awkwardness, but they didn't even announce Blair Herter as the new co-host (which he is). I guess they'll just evade the issue until the channel's imminent demise.

[schwabdizzle]

G4 will just put on a hologram version of Sessler and no one will be able to tell.

[tedtropy]

At least Morgan was wearing black in mourning (and looking mighty fine in that episode), but I digress. Not sure how long I can tolerate the show now with Blair as the replacement, gonna be alot of hitting the 30-second skip...

X-Play is unwatchable if it's not on DVR. Has no one told them their snarky asides are neither funny nor clever?

[CyReN]

Update

[benny_a]

I wonder who he is going to bar mitzvah.

[Skiesofwonder]

Update

I wish Sessler the best, he was by far the best part of G4.

[Live Free or Die]

My guess is he is going to giant bomb or ps blog.

[CaptNfantasy]

Who cares. The dude is a hired goon just like all the other hired goons. I could do that job a thousand times better than he does, as could probably many in this forum or many of the online youtube videogame personalities. Every time i seen that guy he was being mildly hysterical over things that, if he had been following them closer, he would have found no reason to be acting that way. I hope all these fakes leave the gaming industry. With youtube, we dont need people like this anymore.

[GhostRidah]

I just seen Sessler and Pereira on a new show on the syfy channel (didn't catch the name), is that what hes talking about? It was really bad.

You're getting his persona mixed up with the real Adam Sessler. The man behind the mask is totally legit.

[jbttwin]

Yeah the premise sounds retarded. I'd say "that's the best they can do?" but X-Play/AOTS aren't exactly great either.

Wait you mean someone in front of a camera is more personable than real life? Holy fucking shit, this is a bomb shell!

Sessler is about as real as it gets. Try to find the stuff he does when he's not playing a goofball for TV.

[ezekial45]

That's a little disappointing. It seems like he wants a clean break from video game coverage entirely.

In any case, I wish him the best.

The likelihood of you or anyone on this forum being able to host a tv show without any experience and not immediately curling up into the fetal position, much less writing and producing one for over a decade, is... low.

I'd love to see you try, of course, but being a realist is probably a better idea here.

[Ketch]

so what was the announcement?

[SteveWinwood]

Yeah he's not going to giant bomb.

[davidsaurus]

Not till tomorrow

[Ketch]

Oh. derp. Reading comprehension.

Sessler on Giantbomb would be awesome. Sessler being NOT the TV Sessler would be great.

[Razgriz-Specter]

he has been on that for a while now.
