[radman1]

Excellent.

[jasonheob]

dialup bbses died out in the mid to late 90's not 80s

[nviso209]

THE REAL MATRIX! LOL

BURN THE SERVERS SUPPORT RAZOR 1911!

[nviso209]

WHAT WAS & WILL NEVER BE REPLACED BY HUMAN FLAW w/ SPAM, EATING BANDWIDTH & LIES! THOSE WERE THE DAYS! AH YES! 2400 BPS TO PLAY ONLINE W/ "FRIENDS"! MAN IT ALL SUX NOW! :( I.E. --- QUANTITY OVER QUALITY... I HAVE WATCHED 4-5 TIMES AND LOVE IT!

[OBSysteme]

wath is he sayng? where geeks united??... it was more than that, there was all sorts of community's... all kinds of hobbyists and interests, even Gays, physically handicaped,etc, etc... it was a thing of the masses for many years, not just a thing for geeks.

[SOH805]

HA HA (besides amanda)

KEVIN gets the last laugh ! he would still be on G4 and they didnt.

[jgargano03]

telnet : chaotic(.) dyndns(.)biz -cfbbs

[OBSysteme]

I miss BBS

[AnteChrist1332]

Those news anchors seem like assholes.

[psyshock918]

ahh that chick is cute

[Millahtime]

Kevin I really miss the old G4. Those were the days. I used to watch these shows all day, literally. Now I only watch AOTS and sometimes X Play, and thats it I rarely turn on G4 anymore.

What the hell happened? Damn corporate executives always ruin good things.

[xL717]

I seriously will never understand how these shows failed. I mean, EVERYWHERE I go and see something about G4, no matter where it is, everyone is always talking about how much they miss these shows and how the G4 sucks. It just....doesn't seem to add up sometimes.. Maybe I just can't let go.

[dojomojomofo]

@xL717 Well, a lot of the old personalities from TechTV are still doing similar things online now. People from The Screen Savers are now on Tekzilla, This Week In Tech, and Diggnation for example.

[SOH805]

@dojomojomofo

Amanda Mckay does GAME TRAILERS with Geoff keighly(ELECTRIC PLAYGROUND) on Spike Tv .

[Russman1478]

Hey kev, did u get it in wit the girl? She's smokin!

[VenomD5]

i read about a year ago(gameinformer i think), that gaming tv had no future, i wouldnt be happy if the KP n Olivia magic ends

G4 needs more shine, AOTS n XPlay isnt enough

[Stylefree83]

he looks like a very tall 12 yr old. i must mate with a portugese woman to have children who also do not age

[SplittingAt0ms]

This is good stuff KP. I can see something like this on G4 today. Nice work! I used to be a BBS junkie. Amazing to think we used to dial up to other computers to get our porn.

[beanodonnell]

wow kevin is old and looks like he hasnt aged a day

[NunSuperior]

300 baud baby! My buddy ran a tiny board on his Apple ][ plus. A friend of a friend had eight phone lines wired into his apartment for his BBS. Big bill.

[thePopsicko]

Ah, reminds me of good ol' NHUltraNet.... back when it took a half hour to respond to someone, if there was even anyone on. Good times, good times.

[stiqula]

Aw, look how little you are!

[tanker58p]

I miss tech t.v. good times sitting there watching screen savers till the wee hours in the moring

[animeking]

I dont even remember this show, but one things for sure you do not age Mr. Pereira.

[SonicDeeHedgehog]

I have no idea what they were talking about

[highestcount]

Nice work, Kevin.

[bennyboytx]

i was just searching "kevin pereira shaves a llama for his wardrobe" and this comes up....mehhh, it's close enough

[Mawfu]

I remember chat rooms with my dad's 56k modem thinking, "This is awesome, the pictures come up in minutes." Lol

Makes me sad that kids today quite appreciate how far we have truly come. ,8,1

[tubaplayer01]

AH HORSE SHIT!!!

[GadgetGi]

Yours was fully registered!? Win! Mine was a hacked/sliced and diced WWIV single node with more ANSI art and ASCII porn than you could shake a stick at! :) The Missing Link in the 314 from 1985-89!

[fshando]

I want to do kevin pereira... just sayin'

[sirgaren]

wtfh why did i triple post?

[TwelveFortySix]

As an old school netizen (93) I caught the tail end of the whole BBS thing. Still messed around on IRC until around 97 when it became far too crowded.

[Avizzlery]

Old G4? Good times but back then it was Tech TV.

[thegreekmatt]

Vote this comment a thumbs up if you miss TechTV

[psyshock918]

I miss old school G4

[warmfuzzy]

Aww, wee Kevin Pereira. :)

I remember printing out a BBS list for my city & calling them all up trying to find ones that still worked (this was in like, 1992-1993). I remember playing Legend of the Red Dragon - my first RPG! :)

[bizzareodin]

aw, the good ole' days.

[holyshitinc]

napolian dynamite moment!

[Dgomez432]

Dam i miss the old days of tech tv and even the old G4. The only show i watch now is Attack Of The Show And Xplay. all the crap shows like cops,cheaters,human wreckingball, ninja warrior are all shit!

[Syeno]

you're a dumb ass ._.

[YoungAnomalous]

i agree except ninja warrior is ok everything else is gay

[cs52392]

@Dgomez432 i agree with you completely except i like ninja warrior

[polar33]

I suddenly have an urge to go play some Trade Wars.

[NeoSoulAngel]

wow. good job Kevin. I actually look up to you and Olivia over on G4. Keep up the good work.

[radman1]

I was just viewing this clip earlier in the week while moving my website. :)

[MrScream305]

DESTINATION VACATION!

[dorkchop2007]

We want the old G4 back I think everyone agrees...cops and cheaters suck ass

ninja warrior is alright

[Zolofgonnakillallya]

Yea, I miss the old G4/techtv.

there were better shows about tech and gaming.

[lordmondi]

Retro Kevin Love It!

[SteveyW0nder]

I remember Pulse, and when G4 didn't suck or at least sucked a lot less.

[PulseXProductions]

Hahaha kevin

[CASPRPres]

I used to play Barren Realms Elite on a local BBS....loved that damn game. As Z0mgwhut mentioned Legend of the Red Dragon was another great text based BBS game. Ahhh...the memories.

[KiliStickyG]

I like the shaggy Kevin from Arena

[Stupidgeniu5]

Kper ftw!

[meloveanna]

Kevin, i know you hate comments but, could you post or tell us how old this is?

[troxell]

nostalgia-win-beer goggles from the future.

You should really get back into the business of producing and all that. Your ces package definitely proved that you need to be doing more stuff

[mikeDJLP]

Dude! This is throwback pereira! Oh the classics...which were like less then 10 years ago or so...

[ShamW0W]

Awesomeness

[LLMelvinL]

Oh wow!

[z0mgwhut]

I still play LORD on BBS... and I'm a youngin'.

[catabarez]

[mrmonkeyman]

[mrmonkeyman]

[lexusdevotee]

the guy at 3:13 looks like a slightly thinner version of Azamat from the movie Borat.

[r34]

Dude, you don't age, do ya?

[BonzaiBen]

Dammit! No Amber Alert stache! Haha, ahhh... Your awkward days on Arena :3

[latinballer909]

Pretty cool Pereira. Looks pretty well put together. Definitely something to be proud of.

[MurderJunkie]
