Am I the only one who thinks this crap is a waste of time? Carmen Electra...hosting a gaming show.......this is a sign of the apocalypse if I've ever seen one.

G4 is retarded. Half of those shows aren't even for hardcore gamers. Cheat for example is trash. What hardcore gamer cheats?! Even if some hardcore gamer does cheat, WHAT harcore gamer is going to want to write a cheat down on a piece of paper instead of looking it up on the internet or code book?

Players is even worse though...Who the $#@% wants to sit and watch celebreties play their games? The only way you'de catch me enjoying it is if Britany Spears and Cameron Diaz played strip Halo where the loser must discard a piece of clothing. But if this was the case, who the hell would be focusing on the games, so once again, the show would be pointless. I also hate how they interview celebreties who are obviously not gamers, but still do the show because their all a bunch of SELL OUTS. Players was a show made so G4 staff could get closer to celebs. End of story.

Gphoria should have been hosted by somebody like Adem Sessler. He KNOWS games, and he's not just some celebrity doing it because he sells out at any opportunity that comes his way. WHY let -blam!- STARS host an award show for GAMERS?! It just doesn't make sense! WHY WHY WHY?!

This is why half the creators and developers of the games don't show up. It feels nothing like a show for gamers....

Either way, I do look forward to Halo 2, and Gphoria next year will probrably be hosted by Howard Stern for all I know.


I was dissapointed by Gphoria also. They got together all these celebs that knew nothing about games just to create some hype, while not focusing on the quality of the show. Even in the interviews most people said themselves they dont play games.

Your absolutely correct. I just threw em up as examples of how bad the show sucked. I'm more of a Shannon Elizebeth/Jennifer Garner kind of guy. I'm sure you can change that analogy to which ever babes you adore most. ;)

G4 bashing doesnt really have much to do with Halo 2, which is what this forum is for.


This is the flood forum. You can talk about pretty much anything you want here. Well as long as you don't break the code of conduct or the forum rules. This is not the forum to talk about halo 2.

I never bothered to watch Gphoria cause most of the video games award shows have sucked. Here are a couple of possibilities as to why they sucked (and why gphoria probably sucked):

* Celebrities- no one gives a -blam!- about celebrities. Well some people do, I call these losers. Also, no celebrities are into video games, so having them go to a show and pretend they do is stupid.
* Bands- Man I hate mainstream music. No chance of them having anything else. Sucky music= sucky show.

Thats about it, but those two things have proved the downfall of past video games award shows, and the reasons I didn't see gphoria.
