Hm...to all the people that complain about Adam Sessler & Morgan Webb, I have only one word: Cheat!

I could barely sit through one episode, solely because of the host. I didn't think a human being could be...so...lame. Please. God. Tell me this isn't an indicator of what's to come.

Wait...nevermind. Filter...I'm just going to go weep for the cruel fate that has befallen TechTV...

Morgan actually has a personality to go along with her looks. She wins my vote.

Laughing So, Filter is another show like X-Play Question I'm with nagisa, I like Morgan, mainly because she's into anime. Speaking of which I was watching the game show Lingo tuesday night and they had a guy on there by the name of Steve who said he was "Into Japanese Animation", I couldn't believe it, and here most people think I'm crazy to be watching "cartoons".

My programming guide says that AU will return to its midnight timeslot on Friday night, the first day of the merger. It doesn't say what anime will air at that timeslot though.

So when all it comes down to the ultimate video game show co-host hotties rumble for the gold, you all side with Morgan? And of course, Morgan gets cut some slack since she has to say those crappy scripts, but Diane Mizota doesn't get the same love? I don't know what kind of socialist soc... uh board this is, but dammit, at least give Diane the same love, man! bad word Mi, indeed.

It's not so much that the show is crappy, it's the people who vote are retarded - #1 scarriest video game ever - Kirby! #1 coolest stealth game ever - Contra! #1 favorite game - Superman N64! These people are fricken retarded. I know that's part of the draw, seeing your votes count on TV, but why not have a pool of editors from the diff game mags pick the lists? I'd respect their opinions more than joe average. I swear it, Diane is getting a bum deal.

I reall like X-play the way it is now. Sure, it could use some more reviews and more cheats but hey, nothing is perfect.

Y'know ususally i don't change my comments or opinions. (call me stubborn Razz ) but man, after baring witness to the fate that has befallen Tech TV. I feel a bit of sympathy for those guys.(even Adam and Morgan) I finally got to peep some of G4's dumb ass shows. like Filter and Judgement day. As for the latter that Tommy Talerico is one of the most annoying hosts ever!! he talks like he his mouth is stuffed with canollis ..or something else. Twisted Evil
He should stick to doing BGM scores for mediocre games like earthworm Jim as oppossed to hosting a videogame show.
His reviews are nothing short of bantering and trivial commentary. UGH!!

And this "bleach blonde biker chick" of a host (Lauren, i think.)is another character.At least X-play's Morgan had some personality in her favor, plus she's a fan of Anime and very easy on the eyes. Wink Lauren is just,excuse the expression "Skankalicious". this just goes to show why some mergers just don't work at all.

Here's hoping that Call for help's lou (and staff) finds a better gig in the future. Cool

If they don't put Leo somewhere, a LOT of TechTV regulars are going to be absolutely irate (myself included). He's practically the heart of the network (host-wise, anyway), and if they don't put him somewhere there will not be good things in the network's future.

I could care less about AU in TechTv, I watch TechTv because of Leo and X-play. I`m so damned pissed that they took out "Call for help"

Don`t get me wrong, I like Anime but I`m unsure if it belongs there.
