The ugly side of G4

Here you'll see a bit of a rant from one of the "Arena" hosts that airs on the G4 network. From what I've heard the network is run completely half assed and any sort of talent is pushed down at any opportunity (the hiring requirements are a bit retarded too apparently). Check it out.

G4 is a horrible, horrible channel

I like it.

Not a bad little bit of venom, but I personally would have named more names than just the ones of the guys I liked. It isn't real dirt unless you refer to whoever it is you're ragging on as more than just "the producer".

G4 is run by incompetent morons. Did we need a disillusioned ex-employee to tell us this when 5 minutes of watching would do the same?

Wow.

That's all I've got to say. Simply Wow.

me too...probably because i understand that it isn't a wise business move to gear it towards the leet gamer, and because of that, i take it for what it's worth...it seems that so many people here hate it because all the shows are not c0r3!!1 enough for them...that's stupid...

Isn't G4 run by Ziff-Davis? If it is, then it says alot about the channel's supposed (lack of) quality.

G4 is only good for screenshot and gameplay footage, and any one that can actually learn things from G4 is a dumbass...

Wow. I really couldn't give less of a fuck about the incoherent ramblings of this ex co-host of that shitty competitive gaming show, even if I tried. I just don't care. This thread sucks.

Welcome to the world of television... Just about every network or show seems to have two or three outragously demanding producers or higher-ups that either knows squat about what they're doing, or blames their mistakes on others.

Hearing that it happens at G4 isn't a big surprise.
