G4's Free Stuff returns this Christmas with a SIX HOUR SPECIAL. Yes, you can feverishly enter in codes and whine about not winning anything on CHRISTMAS this year, after you open all your presents and discover that Santa hates you.
The pre-recorded special airs starting at 3PM EST/PST.
G4 has launched a "microsite" for Attack of the Show, which basically serves as an introduction for new viewers. It's all flash based and very well designed (minus the super old quotes from forum members). It also has some actual content, including best-of clips, photos, wallpapers and buddy icons.
It's at www.g4tv.com/aotsmicro/
AOTS headmaster Kevin Pereira joined G4 viewers in IRC chat tonight for a Q&A session and took a quick moment to reminisce about G4 days of yore. Here's some of the highlights:
On being on Arena & TSS vs AOTS:
"I hated Arena. Wouldn't go back to that for the life of me. I miss TSS as a show (I was a huge fan back in the TTV days) -- but TSS and AOTS are two completely different beasts. The biggest mistake/hurdle was trying to transition that show into AOTS -- it just couldn't work. Two different shows entirely. But now, I think it's clear that they're different entities, and certain chapters are over.In hindsite, a lot of trouble could have been avoided had the show gone dark for a while and relaunched without trying to cater to both audiences. But, win some lose some... it is what it is. And I'm happy with the show we've got now."
On how he got with G4:
"Long story short -- Had a personal website back in the day (PointlessAudio.com) which became LickMySweaty.com (a site about games/tech/hacking/etc). Some people were fans, years later they started G4 and asked me to move to LA to get balance bars and coffee. That brings us to now, sorta."
On working on G4TV.com and his G4 days of yore:
"I do remember those days. And lining up callers (read: friends of mine faking their names) for G4Tv.com ;) I miss chatting on IRC all the time. But all of the REALLY good Hentai Fserves are offline, so there's no point...
I actually just got off the phone with Tina Wood not to long ago. I miss her like mad. She just had a beautiful baby girl...
I also chat with Sarah Lane and some of the old Screen Savers crew (most of 'em up in SF at Rev3). I miss that girl something fierce. She was so much fun to work with, let alone hang out with outside of the studio."
So there's most of the relevant parts to G4R. Interesting info all around! We were just starting to wonder where Tina went (she hasn't posted on on10 since August) so now we know!
Next week is the Olivia Munn chat, but who cares about that?
