Extended Play Vr. Electric Playground

They used to have most of the Electric Playground episodes available online on their site, but now there only seems to be one episode available at a time. And it has been the same episode up there for quite a while now.

Another thing about Tommy, he always seemed to give Dreamcast games lower scores because of the controller. He would be like: "So, this game is pretty good, and normally I would give it a 7, but because I don't like this terrible Dreamcast controller, I give it a 5". And then his partner would just look at him in amazement.

I think the same. The reviews on the Tech TV website are very well-done, but the show doesn't show that.

I like Adam Sessler. Yeah, he's maybe a little dorky, but he's enthusiastic about practically everything, and in my mind is the perfect personality for what the show is trying to do. I think the show does a great job, considering the miniscule budget.

I don't like Electric Playground one tiny bit.

I caught Extended Play last night for the first time, thanks to you guys. I enjoyed it, but I agree that it needs to be an hour long. The footage of Orta and the two Lord of the Rings games was very nice.

I can't believe we've gone 1 1/2 pages without a bunch of Extended Play haters coming into the thread...amazing...

That Steve and Daves videogame explosion or whatever its called it pretty atrocious aswell.

No way, that show is hilarious. They piss off so many gamers with sticks up their asses, I can't help but appreciate them. Remember the FFX review when they went on and on about how it totally sucks, and you're stupid if you like it? Genius.

I don't entirely know where I stand on this issue..

Tiny Tommy Tallarico acts like it's an outstanding offense against God in heaven if a game doesn't have the best graphics known to man, so good they kill your retinas, and makes a fool of himself in his clever "montages"...

That fat guy(who's name escapes me) is a little more competent in his reviews but whenever he interviews a game maker his jaw gets a little loose...if you know what I mean..

Then that have this one girl who comes in and throws a ninja star at the TV and gives some random code to some game and that's all she does.

Then if I recall they had a new girl that interviewed "celebrities" like Wierd Al and Gary Coleman and they would talk about their favorite game..


at the end you are treated to clever "Bloopers" because these guys are cooler than you will ever be. EVER. So don't try.

Then there is Extended play which is usually more game and less talk, but that host looks like some guy that hides out in women's shoe stores or bowling alleys so he can smell women's shoes or something. And he's a little TOO enthusiastic about games like if you DO NOT BUY a 4 out of 5 game it's almost like a crime against humanity. At least his heart is in the right place..and he allows us to know what Max Headroom would look like if it smoked crack religiously and didn't twitch and played video games.

..this post is run amok with pretention...I'll admit that. However neither show is one I personally would want to base a game purchase on by going by their reviews(however it is good to see the games actually in motion on my TV), but at least it's entertaining to see public displays of inanity.


Of course I shouldn't criticise..but..yet..I cannot help it..

Extended Play has always been pretty professional and I have to give them quite a bit of respect for showing Alien Soldier in one of their import specials and featuring clips of Alien Soldier (again! there's a well read fan working somewhere on that show) and Psycho Fox in their Sega tribute clip montage shortly after Sega announced they were going third party. Wonder if they'll have/had anything on Ikaruga? I've missed the show the past few months.

And I hope I NEVER see Electric Playground.

Shinobi, you lost TechTV when you switched to DirecTV? Weird. We've had it on our DirecTV service ever since the channel first went on DSS 3 years ago.

I have the G4 network and Tommy(sucks at gaming)Tallarico and Victor Lucas do have a show on it called Judgement Day. I really don't care for Tommy's opinions cuz they seem so biased it's ridiculous. He said that JSRF was "too original" and claimed that was a bad thing. I think he should seriously stick to making game music and stop trying to review games.

Maybe, but I think I missed all thier reviews inbetween the friggen lame "sketches" and Sobe product placement. I didnt even know it was about games till someone told me.

Z-roe

Yeah, even they acknowledged it. I didn't watch the show for the games. They handled the whole Sobe thing well too, by badmouthing the product at every turn.
