Attack of the Show Interview

Small bit of shameless self-promotion here. I was interviewed on Attack of the Show! last week and yes, they did mention G4 Rewind! Here’s the clip:

What’s going on at G4 Rewind?

It’s been awhile since I’ve done some updating, I figured I’d explain why.

There’s been a ton of distractions lately, mainly this YouTube video I made which exploded, caused me to lost my job, regain it and then quit. I’ve been making YouTube videos for awhile but no one really took notice until now. I’ve had several Hollywood types call (yeah, I know, over this little video?!) and long story short, I’ve been invited to L.A. in September to pitch further ideas. It’s been a crazy summer.

In the meantime, G4R has totally been rusting out. All is not lost though. I’m looking to find some people to look after the site, keep it updated. If you’re interested, check the thread in the forums. Hopefully the site will be returning to life soon.

E3 on G4 2010 Roundup

It’s almost E3 week, which means G4 is up to it’s old tricks (the good kind) and has laid out it’s 25 hours of E3 coverage for us. Shockingly, they have once again been named the official broadcaster of E3.
Here’s a rough look at what’s going on E3 Week on G4:

Monday: Coverage starts at 3PM EST until 10PM EST
EA & Ubisoft Press Conf. starting at 4:30 PM EST.

Tuesday: Coverage starts at 11:30AM until 9PM EST, First is Nintendo & Sony Press Conf
Feedback Live @ E3 at 9:30PM EST

Wednesday: Coverage starts at 6PM EST until 9PM EST
Feedback Live @ E3 at 9:30PM EST

Thursday: Coverage starts at 6PM EST until 9PM EST

Friday: No coverage.

Some interesting changes this year, Microsoft’s press conference will not air on G4, as it appears semi-rival Spike TV will has struck a deal to air it (and Microsoft’s Project Natal event) exclusively on Viacom networks. It will, however, still be streamed via G4tv.com along with a few other press conferences not interesting enough to air on TV. Also, instead of doing a half-baked wrap up pre-recorded Friday edition of E3 Live, G4 is just going to show some Ninja Warrior non-stop. I’ll call that a wash.

As trended in the past, they’re also going to try and use E3 to prop up some new shows, including “It’s Effin’ Science” which I’ll throw into the “Not Terrible Looking” G4 shows bucket and they’re also airing a smattering of King of Kong (if you haven’t seen it, then shame on you) and some various movies & episodes of Web Soup.

As much as G4 wants me to be enthusiastic about their coverage of E3, I’m really just excited for the event itself. Lots of new hardware including all the motion controllers, the Nintendo 3DS and I hear there might have some software at this event somewhere too.

Open Source Returns

After a long hiatus, G4 president has returned to the keyboard and his “Open Source” segment on G4tv.com

Not a whole of news in his post this time. Neal goes over “Epic April” ratings wise, talks a little about their E3 plans (Surprise! They’re covering it.), but most interestingly he lets fly that the #1 best thing to come out of the network in YEARS, Feedback, will air live from E3 on TV instead if it’s typically podcast nesting grounds.

Hopefully this will lead to Feedback regularly airing on TV.

You can read the whole article here.

Xbox looking to launch 24/7 Gaming channel?

Bloomburg is reporting that Microsoft & a former News Corps president, Peter Chernin are in talks to create an online channel that would broadcast over Xbox Live. The report says that users interested in subscribing would see their XBL subscription rate jump 1 to 2 dollars. The channel would air new content and “reruns.”

While I would love to jump up in the air and yell “OMG GAMING TV IS BACK, HIRE SCOT RUBIN,” I have to step back and reread the article which actually doesn’t state anywhere that it would be a gaming channel. The rumored proposal only mentions that it would target young males… which is something we’ve got plenty of already (*cough*Spike*cough*G4*cough*MTV*cough*MTV2*cough*). While it would be reasonable to assume that there would probably be some gaming shows in there, I probably put money on there at least being a handful of shows about guys who like to drift in their car while snowboarding off a mountain, to appeal that oh-so-precious “douchebag” demographic.

Or maybe I’m just a little cynical. The channel was just proposed in early April, so chances are they won’t have this thing hammered out by E3 (aka NatalFest 2010), so we’ve got a little while to fantasize beforehand.

What do you think? Could this be a real second chance at a true gaming network? Or is it going to be one giant ad for Doritos disguised as content or something?
