Hour long clip show. Sessler was barely mentioned.
Not really.
Pretty typical/ho-hum.
I guess they thought, "We can't bring Adam back for this episode so eff it."
At least we'll always have this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J41ba7qv9rQ
"Adam, I miss you.... to the extreme!"

AOTS finale sucked. Then again, that show always sucked.
X-Play was slightly better. At least I laughed at Kristin's rant and some of the montage footage
But overall, good riddance to both shows and G4 in general. With the exception of e3, you was dead to me years ago

Agreed, so happy I went with a friend to a Screen Savers show back in college, got to meet the whole crew. (Well except Leo he was out for some reason that day) :/ Oh well still have the Tech TV shirt they gave us.
He launched his own prouction company called SuperCreative. He curently hosts a show on Syfy called Viral Video Showdown (in which Adam Sessler is a panel judge) and a soon-to-be syndicated game show called Let's Ask America. He also launced a podcast on which he recently had Candace Bailey and Sara Underwood on.
Adam had an acrimonious split with G4. Hence why he never got a proper send-off.

I might be in the minority here, but....
I'm glad it's over. Haven't liked AOTS and X-Play for years, now.

Damn. I remember watching TTV at my fathers house as a teen thinking this is some amazing shit. It spoke to the electronics and gamer geek in me. Why good things don't last forever?
Keven was beyond hilarious. That guy brought fucking tears to my eyes. Oh my. They things he said and did.
Do you remember the episode when he went to that porn stars house? Holy wow i was laughing my ass off through the whole thing.

I loved putting on AoTS on when I came back from work. Too bad its gone. X-Play has been crap since the buyout.
Had fond memories of just getting stoned late night and watching Cinematech and the anime block after it.Tech TV was great. I loved how they would show play through's of entire games.

Okay.
I used to watch AOTS, CHI, and XPLAY all the way back in 2005. I remember it premiering on the G4 channel and man I had a good laugh from the staff back then. I was in 3rd grade back then. Kevin Pereira was the highlight of that show and Olivia Munn.
Throughout the years, as those host started moving away from G4, everything just went down. It was just disappointing.
The channel was resuscitated , I believe, debuted via Ninja Warriors. The first year it aired, it was pretty damn entertaining but again as time progressed the US just copied it and started making it look stale. (Seriously, it was hilariously sad).
Now COPS is the only thing that's being aired and some old classic movies.

X-Play was still decent but...
X-Play was pretty much dead when Adam Sessler left.
AOTS was pretty much dead when Kevin Pereira left.

So glad to know its finally all over. Hated both shows with a passion.
Pretty sure Viral Video Showdown's already been canned: http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/...turn-nixes-viral-video-showdown-992112/10079/
You could always go by his twit studio, Leo is all about his fans and welcomes pretty much anyone that stops by.

Loved that final send-off. But it's also another sad reminder about how great TechTV was. I'm actually angry I didn't watch it MORE when it was on. You would have thought that type of programming would only increase, but that hasn't been the case.
AOTS had a revolving schedule of respected comedians like Marc Maron, Horatio Sanz and Ben Schwartz filling in for Kevin. It was far from dead.

So Spike TV version 2.0 or Spike TV Lite?

Hard to wrap my head around people here being happy that the one U.S. TV show dedicated to gaming was cancelled.

The full playthrough's was something different than Cinematech. They ran playthrough's of RE4, Condemned, Tomb Raider Legend and a few other games. But yeah, I remember importing several games on the PS2 after watching Cinematech.
The channel was in its decline when G4 took over and canceled all its shows like Cinematech, Screen Savers, Filter and that other review show that had Tommy Tolerico. It was a fun station to put on.
I emailed them a couple of years ago when I found out they were going to be doing a gaming show just to inquire about contributing in some way. Leo's sister replied saying he had my info just in case (which typically means fuck off
).I wrote back and explained that I used to watch TechTV all the time, and I got a kick out if the thought of him "having my info." She wrote back saying I should come by the studio if I'm ever in town and meet him. I wondered if it'd be that easy, but I guess it really may be.

"So, you like Xenosaga."
"Yes."
"WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?!"
"It's like the groundless, sophomoric conjecture and proclamations presented by delusional posters on gaming messageboards have come to life." (I swear I've seen GAF posts like this)
And was that Shane Satterfield at 2:21?! XD
