Surprisingly accurate and actually funny, this video from X-Play should be bundled with each Xbox Live Gold membership sale.

Watch Colette under the bright lights

posted by Grant on August 11, 2007 1:36 AM in Geek Culture

Go on and head over to our buddies at Destructoid to see a little video of our very own (and Destructoid's too, I guess) Colette Bennett on G4's Attack of the (omg so not Screen Savers) Show

Clearly, her time on The Weekly Geek has prepared her for this very day. Way to represent the "non-tool" population over at that wacky ol' network! It's a demographic they don't usually focus on.

By the way, G4, great job of positioning the faces on your crazy multi-screen thingy. Putting the break right through their eyes? Nice touch.

G4, more like Pee4, rite?

New Bioshock Footage Makes Me Wet Myself

posted by Chris on May 10, 2007 11:32 AM in Games

Sometimes good things can come from G4, honest! XPlay did a preview of Bioshock the other day, and if you weren't already excited for this game, this movie will definitely sell you on it.

All I can do is sit here and stare at my Bioshock Dashboard theme and bounce up and down, waiting for Bioshock like a kid on Christmas Eve.

Shatner and the Elans: The Canadian Awards for Electronic Arts and Animation

posted by Chris on September 15, 2006 5:11 PM in Games

This last Thursday was the first annual Canadian Awards for Electronic Arts and Animation, the Elans, set in the luxurious River Rocks Casino in Vancouver, B.C. hosted by none other than William Shatner. Does he look a little drunk in that photo? He probably was. The awards were, in a word, awful. Set up to be like an Oscar-style red carpet event, it just fell short. Scratch that, it fell miles short. Peppered with pseudo-celebrities and self important Vancouver-based game companies, the award show proper was two and a half hours of repeating game trailers, awkward award recepients and even more awkward industry voice actors trying to be funny presenting on stage. Even a guy from G4 was there, and it wasn't even Tommy Tallarico. Yes, it was THAT D-list. But there were other, more technical reasons this show was a travesty.
