I've got a free preview of X-Play and AOTS thanks to my cable provider this month - I like the new X-Play format and think AOTS needs to be taken out back and put out of its misery.

Once again, G4 is doing it wrong.

I think they should remove AOTS and bring back the anime. They would get more viewers then. The Canadian one still has anime on it, so why not us?

I seriously don't know why everyone is hating on AOTS. I enjoy watching it. The hosts are fun and are great together. I never watched it to get "informed". That is what the internet is for. I think you're all just holding a nasty grudge since it replaced The Screen Savers, which, by the way, I never enjoyed watching.

Aots is their best program. Xplay and its inhuman leporous aids corpse staff insult the viewer on so many levels. Munn and Kev are enjoyable and though i love ninja warrior the network should decide what it is. I will punch u in the dick over Olivia Munn and Kev. For REALZ. Like MAD CATZ 4 realz

I like AOTS, but I have to tape it because I can't stand the 15 minutes of viral videos they show at the beginning. I know you guys need to cut corners and costs where you can, but if I wanted to see funny videos, I'd go to Digg or CollegeHumor. I pretty much only watch it for Olivia Munn and Layla Kaylee anyway, so I can zip through an entire hour's worth of AOTS in 20 minutes.

I used to like Xplay, but it just seems like it turned to suck around the same time it got a new intro. I dunno what demographic that crap ass music and retro-arcade montage was targeting, but it sure as hell wasn't the hardcore gamer. Maybe I'm just too old now for Morgan ManJaw and the Adam the Human Ferret to interest me anymore.

And if by "more original programming" they mean more imported crap from Japan... yeah... that is *not* the direction you want to be going G4. I know you're all surprised that the 30 minutes of people trying not to puke show wasn't a ratings juggernaut, but please, learn from your mistakes already.

As bad as cuts sound (especially for a gaming network that already barely has any shows that have anything to do with gaming), if they're able to keep that promise of theirs regarding more original programming (and said original programming is about games) I'm all for it.

Shame that so many people are losing their jobs, though. Didn't expect these shows to be hit by cuts, they're pretty popular.

It's because they are regular original G4 shows. They can't make cuts to COPS and all the Japanese game shows.

Agreed.
Just like MTV etc...Here is another themed channel (gamin?) Derailed by programming that i consider to be "spamming the airwaves".

I am not saying "everything" on G4 has to be game related but, come now...
When i am curious i go to the website for show clips etc. Other than that i cannot remember the last time i tuned into G(other than gaming)4...

@megapenguinx

I haven't watched G4 in ages. But Kristin Holt always reminds me of that ridiculously short skirt she had on during her premiere in the show cheat.

And after a quick google search, I have found out that her name is now Kristin Adams. She's married. And she's only 27! What is going on with kids now a days?

@uncontrollable: You do realize that most of X-Play's female hosts were hired solely for their looks, don't you? Several of them are ex-strippers with no interest in gaming. Look it up.

AOTS needs to be cut back to 0 days a week. Seriously, for something that's supposed to be informative and entertainment, I could've gained more knowledge on what they cover by bashing my head against a concrete wall covered in spikes and have twice the entertainment doing so. And don't get me started on how they seem to get by with blatantly targeting the 10 year old pocket-miners (AKA "Core gamers")

This is criminal, because inevitably some tool is going to suggest that Morgan Webb isn't at all attractive. Well she is, dammit! How dare you!

Sure, it's not perfect, but I enjoy X-Play quite a bit. Like having them on my DVR box so I can zip through them and catch the parts I like. Also, I can pause it on Munn or Webb and let one fly -ERrr, I mean -

Um...

Between Morgan Webb, Olivia Munn, and Layla Kayleigh, I'd say Morgan is a distant third place. Not unattractive, but not in the same league as either of the other two women.

Jesus. Wow. Alright, Kayleigh, Webb, then Munn.

I can't agree to Webb being a 'distant' third, but wowza, I think we should all take a moment to say our thanks for the incredible information age we live in.

Google image search? Really?

Only if by "stay" you mean "come back" and the Kevin you're talking about is the Dark Tipper.

Not sure if he'd be able to do it with Digg and what not though.

Y'know, I've tried to watch AOTS, but couldn't stand it. I was an avid watcher of it's predecessor, The Screen Savers, and I hated how G4 warped that show in search of the younger demographic. It used to be an informative computer & technology show, but I couldn't tell you what the point of AOTS now. Sure it covers gaming, but the rest of it's just seems like a grab bag of things the network execs think teenage boys will like. And the hosts are so utterly lacking in charisma that they come off as people trying to act hip and/or sexy while stiltedly reading "witty" banter.

I've never tried watching AOTS. Mainly if I do ever watch G4, it's to watch a recorded X-Play, or sample part of a goofy Japanese game show or episode of Cops.

I love Cops. Especially when you've seen enough to accurately guess what's about to happen, or do a checklist of things that'll be found during a traffic stop.

ie, 2 shirtless guys in a pickup, you can probably accurately forecast the following:

- meth pipe
- the driver 'borrowed' the car from somebody, doesn't remember their name
- cuffed suspect asks if they can have a cigarette

so let me get this straight, G4, a channel that has these two original shows, that i have tried to watch before in order to gain info, but instead got randomness, is going to cut down on these two shows....um, who watches G4 anyway? maybe some perverts who like to just watch for the girls, can go ahead and get a little smarter and go get a girlfriend of w/e, because its getting really annoying...

I guess I'm a female pervert, then. I like Olivia Munn, Kevin Pereira, Adam Sessler, Morgan Webb, Blair Butler, Chris Hardwick, etc etc. I'd be sad if I saw less of them.

All right, well, I was a fan of Hardwick from years back, but he's also painfully dorky, sometimes. But still. I'd really miss Olivia and Kevin.

Personally, though, I miss the old X-Play. It made me laugh my ass off. The new X-Play tries to be informative but usually everything they say I'm like, "Yeah, heard that 3 days ago on Joystiq." So.

i would like to point out that neather x-pay or AOTS is really original G4 programing, x-play comes from the old tech-TV and AOTS is just a remodaled to apeal to younger people version of the screen savers wich also came from tech-tv....
