Why, hello G4. You're real programming for gamers. Commenting that someone is pretty good at Guitar Hero II "for a girl" when she's failing miserably isn't insulting at all.
Oh no, wait. It is. It really really is. In fact, everything about your half-assed circlejerk of a channel is insulting. If you were actually TV for gamers, your hosts wouldn't *all* dress and look like that. I used to think your channel was interesting and fun. Granted, that was only for ten minutes or so, but it was something. I gave Cheat a chance today when it mentioned GH2. One cheat and a whole lot of condescension later, I regret that decision. Tell you what, you oily coiffed, self-righteous attention junkie - let's play a round. I know, I know, you're amazing on Mother on expert, but let's drop the kid stuff. Let's break out the first game and play some Crossroads, or rock GH2's Pro Face-Off with Jessica. I'll show you what a girl can do.
And then I'll show you my unstoppable RPG strategies, then maybe break out some side-scrollers or platformers to give the ol' reflexes a workout. I saw some of you G4 figureheads at E3, attempting to play Twilight Princess, and while I wasn't surprised that you were unable to figure out the proper strategy without 5 different brands of guides, I was a bit shocked that you all seemed to be lacking even the most basic of gaming skills. C'mon, it was Zelda on the Gamecube - the controls are nothing new. Does anyone at your company even know what a video game is?!
G4, you are a bloated waste of programming time. Promoting games that focus on graphics and violence instead of innovation and plain old fun, you are a cancer on the gaming community. In contrast, do you know what you are not? Necessary. You are not desirable to anyone who's ever touched the B button on an NES controller, which I'm guessing isn't anyone who works there. So please, either drop off the face of the earth as quickly as possible, or surrender your airtime to people who actually know what they're talking about. We may not look adorably clueless while alternating licking a popsicle and a PS2 controller, but at least we wouldn't actively kill one of the best entertainment forms of all time.

But yeah, it's very frustrating. I was so excited to find out that a "gamer channel" existed, and then so disappointed when I saw what it really was. Ah well. The masses have got to move on to another trend sooner or later, right? *sigh*
