Here's the story: http://www.tvguide.com/News/Attack-o...d-1055082.aspx

It's pretty sad IMO. I haven't watched the either show regularly in years but I guess with the departures of both Adam Sessler and Kevin Pereira this was bound to happen. Just makes the good ol' TechTv days seem like even more of a distant memory. Coincidentally enough, I first discovered this site through G4's The Feed website.

I know G4 is trying to re-brand itself, but with both these shows now leaving, there's really nothing to draw me to the channel in any way.

Even when they had Adam Sessler, x-play just became way too boring. I recall the best episodes of x-play were the ones in which Adam made these comedic sketches, or when they added a large amount of humor to their reviews. The past few years I didn't even like watching the show, x-play and Adam took themselves way too seriously.

As for AOTS, I loved it and I would always try to see it when I got home, but the overall quality it declined a bit when they hired Candance Bailey in Munn's place (I would have preferred Underwood or Alison Haislip). The only reason I watched it was because Kevin was hilarious (and to see Sarah Underwood). But after Kevin left, I have only seen DVDuesday and gadget pron clips, and from what I have seen all the guest hosts were terrible, so I doubt they would have survived without Kevin anyway.

When the ratings for the channel drop with those two cancellations, they'll see that it wasn't the right choice for them. They probably won't care, though it was a mistake in the eyes of a number of people.

X-Play and AOTS was G4. The execs can say all they want but I bet you the only shows people watched were X-Play and AOTS. I hope their new channel fails so horribly they just end it.

I wish another channel would pick up X-Play because quite honestly I do believe there is a place for a gaming show and one that isn't on at 1 AM like Gametrailers TV.

I am glad I got to meet Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb about 4 months before comcrap took over. I was in like at the Pasadena, CA on the warmest May day ever recorded in Southern California history 105 that day. It was well worth the wait as I won a Leo Laporte book in line and I got both of them to sing it.

I remember thinking that it was going to be the loss of one of the best TV networks (tech tv) on tv at that time. I was right.

Well, they would have been canceled anyway once the channel changed format or have they now decided not to do that.

X-Play was something really special to me (been watching since Extended Play) and it's sad to see it go... but I can't honestly say I've been watching it as I'm a DirectTV subscriber and don't get that channel anymore. I do miss all of the amazing skits from old X-Play... And the original TechTV message boards. Oh, those wonderful old days.

yea g4 has sucked a while. cops cops and more cops. then crappy 20+ year old movies. Use to be a great network. Now just a waste. i wonder if the g4 website will continue?

They needed to make room for Ninja Warrior Cambodia and Ninja Warrior North Pole.

G4 has been chopping up Tech TV for years. Now they're finally done. 'em.

I don't want to admit this, but I have probably seen 98% of the AOTS episodes when Olivia was on it. I usually only watch a couple times a week since Keven left. I never really got into xplay. I find Adam annoying and I barley resisted the urge to elbow him in the face at SDCC when he pushed his way past me in 2008. I met Hayslip when she was 'the new girl' and Blair Butler because she interviewed my friend who works for darkhorse. I didn't meet Keven or Olivia, but I walked behind them when they were live. Olivia was a natural beauty, now she is too fake looking. Sorry rambling. Getting tired.

Sara Underwood > Olivia Munn. (There, I said it!)

Googled Sara Underwood because I haven't watched g4 or attack of the show in years. UGH, its no wonder they went under with such sexist pandering of having attention-whore hosts like Olivia Munn and Sara Underwood. I knew it was bad when they had Olivia Munn as the host but to follow it up with someone who is clearly even more desperate to start a "showbiz" career as Sara Underwood clearly shows they weren't the same network they started as.

You can literally see the moment in which Kevin knew he needed to get the out

I would have liked to watched the last few months of these show, but G4 is not carried by DirectTV. Oh well...

Nah, that's the look of disgust and shame for what his life has become. He's trying to mask it as an "I see sexy lady" stun but if you look real close you can see his eyes wondering how it has come to this.

I have to say I stopped watching the channel regularly when Charter moved it to digital at the start of the second season of Code Monkeys. If they didn't move it I'm sure I would have kept watching AOTS. I would watch for the cons and different specials from time to time, but usually changed the channel.

You're right the normal reaction of a guy seeing a hot girl is a look of disgust.

Old X-play was awesome with its skits and then they became a serious review channel and sucked shit. RIP

How did you that up so badly?
