Incase anyone missed these yesterday, the Yokoi/Gameboy Icons shows, Pulse news with the dying kid story, and some other stuff of potential interest is on in sequence tonight.

Also sounds like they changed the format for the road to G-Phoria stuff this year by firing Adam West and talking to real journalists. Thank God.

Game Boy
We explore the 15 year history of the most successful handheld gaming platform of all time, Nintendo's Game Boy.

Hear how the Game Boy went from an idea in designer Gunpei Yokoi's head to the king of the handheld market. The Game Boy has survived multiple re-designs and multiple powerful competitors like Sega's Game Gear and the Atari Lynx. And is still the best-selling hand-held system today.

G4 sucks


p.s. why the hell do I not get episode summaries for Xplay anymore on my Directivo? I have a season pass to Xplay and now it's recording every single damn re-run cause there's no summary for it. Damn G4Techtv.

So... any chance of captures for international folks?

I don't know when or... if at all G4TechTV will start airing in Australia, all we get is 24/7 re-runs of old TechTV shows over here.

By real journalists... you mean no-name actors, comedians, and wrestling people nobody has ever heard of? I watched that special last night, it was pretty terrible. Adam West would have been better than 90% of the people they talked to.

G4Tv.com is one of the most painful shows to watch.

I agree regarding the no-name actors and comedians, but Jericho's a pretty well-known wrestler.

Yeah, that's true... But I think that was the first time I had seen anyone else on that show

On the version I watched last night, they had about two dozen editors from Ziff mags, IGN, Game Informer etc forming the backbone of the show (experts commenting on the nominated games) mixed in with a few actors and comedians providing gaming anecdotes (which I could have done without because VIDEO GAMES ARE SERIOUS LIFE OR DEATH BUSINESS AND EVERYONE HAS TO TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY KTHXBYE).
