All this dude did was complain about footstep noises in games.

Well and make some badass game music, I guess...

Kevin Perreira was on TechTV as well. I recall him doing a video game news program with a couple of other people before switching to the old ScreenSavers/ATOS.

Arena

 

[snoopeasystreet]

He should go to game trailers and make a buddy cop show with keighley.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

was coming here to post this

Same here. It'll be great.

 

[ultron87]

I hear Double Fine has a Community Manager opening.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I'm looking forward to seeing whatever Adam does next. I always watched Extended Play/X-Play when it was on TechTV but stopped once G4 gobbled them up.

Fixed.

Arena

He may have been doing something else besides Arena too.

I remember him covering the Ilovebees stuff.

 

[Choppasmith]

No Meet the Sess joke? I'm disappointed GAF

(lol hunting down the guy greenlighting Mega Man games)

But still, hope things work out for him. I agree he's always been the best part of TechTV/G4

 

[notworksafe]

Arena

That wasn't a news show. I believe DoctorWho was referring to Pulse.

I think it was called Pulse? I don't recall.

 

[The Elite]

I think that was it.

I remember not hating Perreira on that show.

Ah okay. Just didn't recall him before AOTS.

 

[Dr. Malik]

I remember I use to have a crush on him and would be the only reason I would even watch G4....

 

[smr00]

Hopefully he goes to shacknews or giantbomb.

Would love to hear him on the bombcast/weekend confirmed every week.

 

[Philthy]

Sad that he is leaving.

On the plus side, Morgan will probably do the show in a bikini to keep viewers.

 

[Like the hat?]

god I hate to see the commentary on their e3 coverage this year.

 

[Agentnibs]

I forever hate g4 for what they did to tech tv! Hopefully he finds a place before e3. I always enjoyed his e3 commentary

 

[ArtistDude88]

Adam left G4, huh? He was the only redeeming quality of the channel after they added the marathons of Cheaters, COPS 2.0, and Campus PD.

 

[geoffmk]

Kevin started working on G4TV.com with Scot Rubin, the old talk show I eventually hosted with Tina Wood and Laura Foy circa 2004-5 I think. Then he went on to co-host Pulse, and then Attack of the Show.

 

[Xiaoki]

My favorite episodes of Extended Play was when it was just Adam Sessler by himself.

I hope he moves on to bigger and better things.

 

[zlatko]

I remember I use to have a crush on him and would be the only reason I would even watch G4....

He would've played the Maximo games OST while making love to you all the while complaining about the noises you make, before climaxing to give you a 0/5.

Arena

Ooooh gosh Arena. How in the world did I love that show when I was younger?

Watched like every episode.

 

[the chris]

Also if GB fired Patrick and hired Sess that would be pretty great. Let Patrick go destroy another website.

Bar Patrick from appearing in videos and only writing articles and I'd be okay with that. Sessler was actually entertaining on G4 when they weren't having him do any stupid schtick.

Tallarico annoys the crap out of me, I had to close a Video Games Live concert stream I was watching due to him talking between the musical performances.

 

[The Elite]

god I hate to see the commentary on their e3 coverage this year.

Time to cancel G4 for me. Going to go all Gametrailers for my coverage this year. Just stream them to my TV.

Worked well last year and I ended up barely using G4.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Ooooh gosh Arena. How in the world did I love that show when I was younger?

Watched like every episode.

Don't get me started. G4 was the shit back in the day. 24 hours of video game goodness. Now its 24 hours of COPs and Cheaters with movies that do suck.

 

[Einbroch]

Going to Spike to co-host with Geoff.

Would be awesome. They would have a good back and forth.

 

[Amagon]

God speed Sessler

 

[BrokenEchelon]

He's free of that garbage station.

Hopefully he goes on to better things. I don't see many ways he could do worse than G4 though...

 

[Aselith]

Never understood why people rate him. He just seems to be on some pedestal because he worked at a television network. Whenever he's said something controversial or provocative I've disagreed with him.

So, you only respect people you agree with? This right here is what's wrong with game criticism.

 

[H3xum]

I would be surprised if he went to Polygon, he kind of seems like he'd be too big of a fish for a new pond. He's already done that once

Would LOVE to see, more importantly read him on giantbomb.

Yes, I am the guy that reads and loves all of Patrick's stuff

 

[jmdajr]

Wow pretty big news...

 

[Muffdraul]

Wow, I had absolutely no idea he was so well liked. I s'pose I agreed with some of his Soapboxes.

 

[MechaX]

Well, there goes something that would actually make me think of G4 in any respect what-so-ever. Sessler might have had some crazy ideas about certain things, but he was always somewhat entertaining to listen to when he wasn't on a comedy shtick.

 

[MatthewB92]

Damn what does G4 even have left at this point.

 

[Criminal Upper]

It would be awesome if X-Play/G4 just left in general.

 

[dskillzhtown]

Arena

I used to love me some Arena. Damn, G4 had some good stuff.

Kevin started working on G4TV.com with Scot Rubin, the old talk show I eventually hosted with Tina Wood and Laura Foy circa 2004-5 I think. Then he went on to co-host Pulse, and then Attack of the Show.

I used to like g4tv.com too. I remember meeting Scot at a party. Dude was as nice as can be. Damn G4 had some good stuff back in the day.

 

[la flama blanca]

lol GG G4

 

[out0v0rder]

so NBC Universal owns G4, gamespot, and giantbomb now right?

 

[Gunstarheroes]

There's GOTTA be a video of this somewhere.

http://tv.majorleaguegaming.com/videos/29701-g4-cuts-to-commercial

That was a pain in the ass to find. G4 really has tried to make people forget about this.

 

[IC_Champion]

If they're looking for a boost to the video side of things, maybe Polygon as they don't seem to have much of a presence yet along those lines?

Polygon seems like the viable choice.

so NBC Universal owns G4, gamespot, and giantbomb now right?

That would be CBS

 

[notworksafe]

so NBC Universal owns G4, gamespot, and giantbomb now right?

Eh? Gamespot/GB are CBS. G4 has always been Comcast, though Comcast does own NBC Universal.

 

[cosmicblizzard]

You mean the guy that took off points from Viewtiful Joe because he didn't like the word "Viewtiful"?

 

[Aselith]

so NBC Universal owns G4, gamespot, and giantbomb now right?

Giantbomb and Gamespot are owned by CBS.

 

[Felix Lighter]

I'd imagine he'll end up at a personality driven, video centric gaming information disseminating entity.

 

[MatthewB92]

He bitched about the music in Paper Mario:ttyd!

 

[Patryn]

so NBC Universal owns G4, gamespot, and giantbomb now right?

Yes, no, no.

CBS owns Gamespot and Giant Bomb (more specifically, CBSi owns them, and I believe Viacom owns CBS and CBSi).
