*sigh, I Don’t Hate G4
OK, so I got called a turd because I had a little bit too much fun with Kevin Pereira from the G4 network. I was told if I can’t say anything nice about Kevin or G4, then I shouldn’t say anything at all.
All right, here goes: I do enjoy the Sessler, despite what other gaming sites quoted me as saying, which I never said! First off, I never said, “Adam Sessler can’t play games.” That’s just completely made up. As for the rest, it’s pretty much spot on even though it’s not an actual quote – also minus the bite that the title of post gives it. It was all rather innocent. Sessler sat down with Lost Planet after I was done and he was running around not finding anything. I just leaned in and told him he might want to reset the game because I had killed everything, he said thanks and that was all. See, I like the Sess.
I also enjoy Morgan Webb and am developing a dangerous crush on Blair Butler. After being behind the scenes for many years, like Tina Fey at SNL, Butler’s delivery, presence and general connection with the audience will hopefully mean we get to see more of her. She’s actually the real deal, and real talent.
I do miss Laura Foy, who was the closest thing we had to family on the network and the peppy Tina Wood. Those are two ladies I’d still love to go have some drinks with, I’m happy they landed safely at on10.net
So, I’ve said good things. And I’ll do even one better. Tonight on G4 they premiere Arrested Development commercial free at 11:30. Whatever you may think about all this non-gaming programming being on the network, if you missed Arrested Development when it originally was on FOX, it is one of the smartest and funniest shows ever! You have to watch it from the first episode on to get everything that goes on in that show, so tonight is the perfect chance, G4 at 11:30.

Other stuff like this: arrested development, butler, foy, g4, sessler, webb
Typical Viacom company process: Start network devoted to a particular subject, get network fairly popular, begin replacing programming with stuff not even remotely related to original subject of network (Witness MTV).
If Viacom owned Cartoon Network, all it’d show at this point would be reruns of “The Real World” and interviews with Paris Hilton.
