  • adam sessler's hair my god

  • I miss this kind of G4. I didn't watch back in the extended play days because i didn't have G4. but I did get to watch part of the glory days before it started to change. It was so much more about gameplay and innovation and not just what is popular. X-Play used to be so much more honest about their reviews and now it feels as though they're changing how they review games based on what would get them more success. As for other programing they used to be about games and not just spike TV re-runs.

  • I always had a semi-boner for kate

  • Adam Sessler and hair? Mind = Blown

  • When i enjoyed Tech TV :(

  • 2 people were born in the late 90's.

  • that Sessler hair

  • DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD I JUST NOSTALGIA'D?!?

  • Damn that chick fugly as hell!!!... Don't know y most of u r saying she's hot...

  • Tech TV was the only good channel on TV. I stopped paying for cable long, long ago.

  • this stuff is/was great... we're never going to anything like techtv again </3

  • Never got to watch this, only thing I watched was the early does of x-play. Which I think was awesome...but now meh.

    How much do you hear that though?

  • In a few months this will be 10 years old. Let us finally face the facts.....We are getting old and they will never make this channel like how they did.

    Our kids will be making fun of us behind our backs saying "Wow! Our parents are huge Geeks."

    Just like How our Parents used to complain about Mtv not being Mtv.

    You get the point folks.

    All in all

    I miss you TechTv....I miss how you used to warn me about Shitty games and Shitty Tech...Now G4 says BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY. Honestly it gets old

  • Wow back when Adam still had hair, nice

  • Kate Botello was hot lol why did she leave

  • i like looking at how far we have come in these old episodes of extended play and x-play.

  • X-Play is still good today. Attack of the Show is ok but I only watch the tech parts of it. G4 needs to rerun these old TechTV shows, I have never seen them on TV before. Maybe if they did that and it was popular enough, they would make new tech shows, like maybe a new Call for Help.

  • Adam had hair

  • So many memories i could cry :(

  • I miss this show, it all went downhill when Webb joined up. I watched for the reviews, not for sketch comedy, there are shows dedicated to sketch comedy that I could watch if that's what I wanted, SNL comes immediately to mind.

  • @rurik36 no when webb joined it became more entertaining and funny, its when they stopped showing more than 3 games and cut most of the funny people, no games shitty interview this channel is dead all together

  • @eftultimate Like I said, I didn't watch for the comedy, I can find entertainment elsewhere, I watched because it was informative. Can definitely agree that the channel sucks now. It's sad really, I remember seeing ads for G4 talking about being a channel dedicated to video games but could never get it through my satellite company. I was really excited at the prospect of G4 merging with Tech TV which I did have and loved... And then it happened and it sucked.

  • @rurik36 dude if anything all they do now on X-Play is reviews and not any sketch comedies. They need to bring back more sketch comedies

  • @frankf101me Really? I might have to check it out some time then.

  • I only check the website really beacuse it actually is for gamers

  • tech tv is for nerds, which is awesome!!

  • I actually remember this episode, damn I was like 11. lol at the XP release commercial. This makes me feel old and I'm not even that old.

  • The Management of G4 Tv could ruin a wet dream...

    Cops? Cheaters? Recycled Japanese reality (?) shows and they completely axed anything innovative or revealing. Xplay is a 30-minute advertisement for Console games (retch!) and Attack of the Show might well be described as a video catalog, all ads and fluff.

    Tech TV was a learning experience, they told people about bad products and explained technical concepts with a lot of interesting yet clear explanations.

    RIP, TECH TV...

    8*((

  • @rosengj I agree...at first I thought techtv (zdtv) was boring..but i actually LEARNT stuff. The screensavers was such an informative show and call for help actually taught me some computer repair tips. Extended play (gamespot tv) was the shizznit! And then it all went downhill :(

  • @rosengj Get people to sign the petition and maybe we can get it back.

  • @Don21x lol so is life Nickolodeon Cartoon network G4 what else what can u do lets just admit or time is over and this bullshit is here lets just move on and pay our taxes and look forward to nothing Ill miss olivia if she goes she was nice. Hot funny and nice. did anyone know she is half asian annnnddd half irish. oh yeaa its tru and morgan webb ill miss u to dont worry ill be strong i mean we lost trl plus aj and free from 106 in park jus u guys and those other shows i mention and bom

  • think of g4 as the new wwe. seems like g4 is trying to be like a pg type kinda show, i think.

  • back before the general populace didn't immediately insult japanese games

  • I TOTALLY REMEMBER ALL OF THESE GAMES!!

  • monkey target is addictive with friends

  • WTF happened to xulu universe

  • @plutoend99 They're still around.

  • I think G4 is just getting dumbed down like all the other channels. Adam and Morgan aren't allowed to be themselves anymore.

  • @GreasemonkeyCGI you do know that adam is the editor and chief for the whole channel right. im sure hes silencing himself, that monster.

  • @QNHCantiAlpha You're telling me that Adam Sessler put cops, cheaters and all those other random shows on G4? He may have some say in how the video game shows work but that's not his channel.

  • TechTV was awesome. Miss Screen Savers =]

  • X-play is a great show it's just that the new G4 writers won't allow their people to be as funny as they once were.

  • There's nothing wrong with G4, Cops reruns are very relevant to geeks and gamers.

  • that girl has an anoying voice

  • kate botello really does look like she gives good head.....srry

  • @SirHidealot lmao what? how could a girl look like she gives good head? ok perhaps if she had plump lips i could see the connection but she just looks bland. NOT BAD just normal. then again allot people do like that sort of "normal" somewhat hohum look. makes the person seem more "gettable" as some would say and thus makes the girl seem more attractive. then theres the face that some guys just wanna boink every girl they see, so long as the girls not toothless and 1000lbs, chubby is ok for some.

  • Blame Tech-TV they signed the contract.....

  • I think Adams hair looks funny. But he's still awesome. :D Not his fault for the current Xplay. Which is still tolerable not as good as vintage xplay though.

  • bahahahaha look at adams hair hahahaha

  • i miss kate botello

  • that faggot adam had a lot more hair

  • If you wanna see Original Extended PLay stuff go to this website.

    archive.org

    Type in Exteded play and you should be able to browse the website from back in 2001....Kind of fun and sad to look at.

    Ahhh the memories

  • Kate Botello was way hotter than morgan webb

  • @FuccThatShitNigga

    Fuck Yeah Morgan Webb look like the fucking CryptKeeper

  • @lilrog0909 i always thought she look like moe from the simpsons.

  • Adam sessler haz hairrr!!!! It looks ok.

  • man... I remember watching this, I was in middle school. Now Im 21 and G4 blows.Growing up sucks

  • @unclebimbo ...Okkusenman? :(

  • adam kinda looks like doc from back to the future.

  • DAMN! Adam's hair!

  • cant believe this was 9 years ago. i feel old

  • I'm kinda almost taken aback by the MUCH slower pace of this as opposed to Xplay. It's kinda refreshing.

  • Man i miss Kate. Fuck webb!

  • this is wierd kinda, but anyway the only time i watch g4 now is the nintendo e3 press conference.

  • These were the good old days. But when 2008 came... everything wasn't the same. It's way different now.

  • Holy fuck.....Adams hair......his HAIR.....

  • OMG. This is when it was fun to watch television.

  • What happened to arena? that was the shit!

  • g4 is so bum it shows fuckin cops and cheaters? the shows it had on a few years back were just fine.

  • i think its a good thing adam lost his hair lol

  • Hearing speculation about Windows XP again is just... weird.

  • O.o extended play? I never remembered seeing this or even older school G4 but anyways Sessler's hair is funky and spikey in this lool the past can be so intriguing/

  • Woah.....the hair, wonder what was on his mind while doing his hair.

  • technically xplay was still good until they moved to, idk, I forgot whatever place they're currently in now, that's when they lost all their interns, and they stopped doing all their fun stuff, it's almost like when they moved they lost all of their fun producers/ directors

  • I liked X-play when they actually did skits, TECHTV WHY DID YOU CHANGE?!! T_t

  • Wow this brings back so many memories! I had a Huge crush on Kate....still do LOL

  • Extended Play was definitely a classic. X-Play isn't bad, but it undermines what the classic video game reviews were. I don't know, that's just my opinion, really. But I think what I said was true enough.

  • sessler looks like a pedophile serial killer. perfect nerd host 4 gaming i say....

  • Adam has always looked like a rapist...especially in the 90s. hahaha

  • What ever happend to the XULU universe?

  • 5:32 one of their last Dreamcast references, back when they started being a retarded software company.

    Rip old Sega.

  • extended play used to be the shit....i started watchin it back in '02, but never remember seein that kate chick though.

  • i honestly want this chanel back on tv instead of a side chanel to jack tv

  • adam's hair....

  • Man... that bitch has a whole lot of mouf. someone needs to fix her grill.

  • Did her grill break? And what is a "mouf". I am pretty sure that is not English, or any other language for that matter. Stay in school kid.

  • I MISS WHEN X-PLAY/EXTENDED PLAY REVIEWED RELATIVELY UNKNOWN GAMES!!!

    Now they review games like Halo 3, Cod5, and Mario. WE KNOW ABOUT THOSE, i wanna know about these games that nobody talks about instead of hearing that Halo is a great fps. G4 is horrible, tech tv ftw!!!

  • good old time .P. i want this show back,

    :) the online thing that they did show, ee anyone tried it?

  • i remember this very 1st time i saw this show! it was august or september 98 it was called gamespot back then and they previewed zelda oot!

  • I don't know what it is but, these older episodes grab my attention more than the newer ones. Maybe its the settings and different locations they film on. Or maybe it's Adams hair lol!

  • wow i feel really old now. i miss tech TV, i use to watch it all of the time. now i don't even watch TV.

  • I miss old Xplay or as they used to call it Extended Play.New Xplay sucks ass.

  • yeah.. extended play...and EARLY xplay fucking ROCKED!!

  • Bring Back Kate Botello!!

  • Super Monkey Ball looks better than most wii games.

  • Wow this brings back memories... man time has gone by to fast.

  • what the fuck happened to these times? I WANT IT BACK NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • me 2 no lie these times where sumof the best n i was alwayz excited to watchexplay.

  • HOLY CRAP! I completely forgot what Adam used to look like back then

  • Why was Kate Botello replaced with Morgan Webb???? Makes you go hmmmmmmmmmm

  • @wolfcutter actually Kate left, after replacing Adam's 1st co-host Lauren Fielder, and Adam hosted Extended Play himself until X-Play came about, which added Morgan as Adam's co-host

  • I loved this better than x play

  • OMG I miss Extended Play!

  • I still remember watching this on Tech TV back when they were covering the xbox release

  • WHAT Shenmu 2 in Japan only?!! Bullshit!!!

  • Sessler's hair is epic.

  • he looks really Doc Brown(esque)

  • If I've said this over a million times, I'll say it again.

    G4 just ruined everything, Even X-Play isn't funny or entertaining anymore. :C

  • Things went downhill once they got rid of Disembodied Voice and Drunk Link. Oh, and when Morgan Webb stopped wearing short skirts and tight clothes.

  • Yeah. :(

  • I know right. She had sexy legs and i wanted to fuck her.

  • @kkatkkong

    Splinter Cell Co-op theater was my shit.

  • @GmodAddict i know dude, what happen it got like...civilized or like a kid who is too cool for anybody

  • @GmodAddict G4 started to suck when 08 hit the scene

  • @GmodAddict g4 stayed pretty faithful until around 2006, and was still pretty entertaining in early 2007.

  • totally agree, when they had their headquatrters back in san francisco everything used to be more cozy and independent... now they all work towards the greater goals of the g4 corporation^^

  • @GmodAddict

    Almost Everything on G4 does suck, but I still like x play even though they removed all the skits. They definetly review more games now, the show I miss the most is code monkeys. I mean cops cheaters wacked out videos attack of the show...these shows make me like wtf they don't even belong on g4 other than aots and that show is total crap.

  • I Miss Kate

  • Feels like the 90s...

  • Yup, it has stock music and all haha.

  • G4 sucks. I miss TechTV.

  • yea G4 kind of cut a lot of the tech shows but I think it's because they just don't have the money to produce new programs. it all comes down to money if the network doesn't have money then they can't create new shows.

  • Fuck, I miss Tech TV in general. Leo, all those people that used to have rockin' shows. G4 ruined 90% of it.

  • Do you watch this week in tech(TWIT)? Leo is still kickin around.

  • Oh yeah? I'll have to check that out. I actually learned a lot of tricks I still use today watching his shows.

  • now Leo is an Apple fanboy.

  • If that's true, then I really don't miss him at all. I couldn't imagine how much I'd want to puke watching an hour of that shit.

  • Or half hour, rather.

  • yeah, Pirillo is now a MAJOR Apple fanboy as well.

  • i hecka miss this show, i remember when i used to watch this all the time, now freakin its just not the same, tech tv aka G4 isnt really a channel for gamers anymore.. theres really only like one game channel and obviously thats x-play... its soo gay

  • man i miss the old days

  • Man, I wish I had digital cable when this was around.

    I started watching X-Play around 2004, and man, it was still awesome, but the new X-Play sucks >_>

    Why can't G4 go back to tech instead of full-day marathons of cops and cheaters? :(

  • hm, well isn't it obvious? g4 is trying to appeal to a gaming audience, and everyone knows, gamers loves cheaters, and cops.., fastlane, and the man show.., wait.., no.., well, i guess they're just retarded :P. In all honesty, they have no real audience to focus towards, i think they would have more success with being strictly tech based, i mean they have commercials that say "its a nerds world", so i guess cops is full of nerds now? :P

  • LOL, true.

    at first though i thought you were actually serious :P

    I guess the only reason for me to still watch G4 is the horrible commercials that they put on...but other than that...G4 is dead to me :(

  • i totally agree....

  • kate is my thater teacher she is soooooooo good at theater she should have been on braodway

  • yeah the new x-play sucks with all the news preview's and info you need on game's the old x-play is better cause of comedy

  • im not going to lie the new x-play is WAAAAAY better i got bored after 2min of this episode

  • You are the reason good shows like this have been so mercilessly changed for the worse.

  • yeah you have your opinion i have mine

  • your opinion kinda sucks, but i respect it :)

  • ok thanks....i guess

  • you pussies! I wanted an e-fight!

    lol

  • sorry im already in a fight with some other guy so im kinda busy

  • haha

  • weirdo

  • WHAT CUNT???!!!!!!?!?!!?!?!!!

  • Dude the new X Play is just kissing up the certain companies. The old X Play and Extended Play was at least honest. G4 ruined Tech TV there is nothing original on it anymore. If G4 brought things like Zero Punctuation to TV then I would watch again.

  • Adam looks kind of creepy.

    God, I love him.

  • I miss TechTV.

  • The days when there weren't a million dumb jokes and it was just about the games.

  • That company Xulu hasn't seemed to have done anything, website still in stealth..

  • Its been a long time since I've seen this

  • Don't mess with the Sess!

  • At this time Morgan Webb was working at Call for Help. Kate Botello took her place here but she isn't the original co-host either, Lauren Fielder is Adam's original partner.

  • whoa, look at sesslers hair lol

  • newb

  • she was not on extended play

  • *sniff* Where does the time go? :(

  • The good days.

  • im 19 but i feel old ... lol

  • Man thats the first time I saw Cyberpolice mentioned in over 8 years. Now i feel old.

  • LOL, at 3:48 Adams side profile is funny with that hair.

  • Wow, Adams hair. 90's style, I didn't get on board until recently on the whole X-play thing but I like this better. it feels more like it should be, truly for the gamers.

  • I miss tech tV so much! These were the good days of quality entertainment for gamers and techies. boy have things gone down hill.

  • I agree they show more outside shows like cops, cheaters, and things like that to much.

    What happened to Filter, The Screen Savers and all the other Good shows.

  • WOW...

  • Thank God Kate used makeup.
