I've been watching Electric Playground for years now, and I still enjoy it. You're not supposed to take the show seriously, and if you can ignore the cheesy computer effects and light fanboyism, you'll come to love it. I'd rather have manchild Tommy reviewing a game, than someone aspiring to work the CNN desk some day.
I had better hold my comments back. Waayy to much anger for Tommy Talrico have I. Extended Play is leaps and bounds above Electric Playground. If, however, instead of reviews at the end of Playground, they tourtured Tommy whilst making fun of him, the show would be much better.
That Steve and Daves videogame explosion or whatever its called it pretty atrocious aswell. I still want to make my videogame show on Public Access, but my friends that were gonna be on the show with me bailed pretty much, and I dont have the time to do everything on the show. Ah well, maybe someday.

To the best of my knowledge, Tommy "The shadows are circles!" Talrico is still doing music for games. Too bad he doesn't stick to writing music and stay away from reviewing games. Didn't he and the other guy move on to the G4 network?
I enjoy Extended Play for the most part. The show doesn't take itself too seriously, and makes me laugh at least once. Adam loves games of all sorts, and it shows. He has an enthusiasm for what he does, versus the virtrol coming from Tommy. A lot of people bitch about Extended Play, but I think the crew does an excellent job considering they have a tiny budget. From what I understand (from the ExP message boards), they're doing well to get 30 minutes a week. Almost sounds like they have a smaller budget than John C. Dvorak's show.
Btw, does anyone here get the G4 network, and is there anything good on it?
About his little comment on that. Crap christ crimminy that pissed me off. You don't like a game cause the shadows are circles? Is that the only thing you can find bad about a game to dog it? Jesus he is stupid. If he really did the music for Earth Worm Jim, it will boggle scientist fo ages how such cool music came from such a gaping asshole. I'll stop now lest my blood pressure rises.Quote:

Heh. :) When he said that I couldn't help but think of Nick Rox and his blue shadows. :) My wife and I just looked at each other when those words popped out of his mouth and we both loudly proclaimed "What the f*ck?!"Quote:

The following image can equally apply to Tommy:

What channel is each of these on? I have never seen either one but would like to do so.
Yoshi: Extended Play is on Tech TV, and Electric Playground is on the Science Channel. Both show in Thursday nights I beleive, with repeats at various times in the week.

Actually, Extended Play shows new episodes on Fridays, @ 9PM on TechTv.

The previous week's episode repeats during the week, with the last showing being @ 4:30PM on Friday. The website has a full schedule of when the episodes show and repeat.
Electric Play is one when Discover Sci feels like showing it. I think the website is http://www.elecplay.com
Uh... what Wolffen said. =P
You are oh so right too. That Vic guy only has his head halfway up there though. The fact that they have an ex- Real World cast member talking to celebrities about video games further proves thier rectal vision.

Extended play is the superior show.I liked their E3 coverage,but they should have made the E3 episodes an hour.Electric playground sucks ass ,but at least they have that cute chick from the "REAL WORLD:new orleans"on it.
