X-Play extends to one hour in December (Joystiq)

Sep 2nd 2008 12:29PM The problem with Xplay now is that the first few minutes are wasted showing you what the show will be about.

Then they fill you in on the news that is essentially what was posted on Joystiq and Kotaku 8 to 24 hours earlier.

A few more are wasted on those dumb little intros they play for every segment (classic G4 assery that they do on all of their shows for no reason other than to kill time).

Add in some dumb video viewer mail questions that I can never understand due to the poor quality of the connection the webcam person has. Of course, when you can hear the question it's something dumb anyhow like "Do you think Uwe will make that game into a movie?"

They then do around 5 minutes of useful reviews at best and then follow up the show with their dumb replay thing because they think we are all too dumb to remember what just happened in the previous minutes of the show.

Add an interview with somebody which is usually painful to watch....I personally like Adam and Morgan but their interviewing skills are terrible. Take away the tele-prompter and they don't do so well.

Rinse. Repeat.

The show used to be better...and I don't mean those crappy little skits they do. Okay, a few were funny but most were dumb...like they thought them up when drunk...when the skits were funny but to those who weren't in on the joke they aren't so funny.

Bring back Electric Playground and Judgement Day...they were a little more informative at least.

Engadget's Cleaning Out Our Closet Contest (Engadget)

Aug 17th 2006 9:41AM #8 or #18...yea, that's right...I picked two...two of the most popular items. Deal with it or I shall simply link to my favorite Engadget post. PS - Would it increase my chances if I was an orphan with no legs, pube lice, and had an intolerance to dairy products?
