Say what you will about modern day G4. But, you can't deny that old G4 was just plain awesome. I used to wake up everyday in high school just to watch this channel in all its now deceased glory. Attack of the Show and X-Play are still OK, but I would trade them in a heartbeat for G4TV.com (the show) and The Screen Savers. Unfortunately, old-school G4 met its demise back in 2004. But, somebody at G4 has just shown that they actually aren't completely full of shit and money and decided to add G4 Rewind to the modern-day G4 morning block. For those of you who have never heard of G4 Rewind, it started out as a website dedicated to the glory days of G4, which included all of the shows that have since been canceled and the list continues to grow as it has been and still is a long journey digging up all of the old footage. So far, they've shown old episodes of G4TV.com, Cinematech, and X-Play from 2003. It's funny to see people discuss how awesome they think Halo 2 is going to be and how innovative Eternal Darkness is when we're already almost a year past Halo 3 and Silicon Knights is now finally getting Too Human out for release. I love nostalgia and if you're of the like, then check it out on G4, channel 191 for Dish Network users, from 8AM-11AM Central and 9Am-12AM Pacific. Have fun!UPDATE: I can't believe I actually had even a bit of faith in this coming out alright. OK, the one good thing is that they're still showing re-runs of Game Makers (originally called Icons). But, they're showing old episodes of Cheat! with Kristin Holt. WTF!?!? I'm not one who trades my games in, but I'm sure that those who do are not very interested in the game strategies being shown, which date back as far as 2004, offically making the games almost ancient compared to where we are now. I guess they're just doing it for nostalgia. I mean, like I said, it's really cool to see G4TV.com again, but it isn't exactly something I need to see. Come on G4, it's time for another reformation to focus on games and tech again.
