wtf did they do to techtv?

bought it, "merged" programs for a while, sucked up all the money and staff that they could use, then wiped the techtv part out and turned it into g4 again.... just with more money and different staffing.

screw comcast. this announcement does nothing to recapture my interest in anything involving g4/techtv.

It all depresses me. I used to love watching the ScreenSavers, and Call for Help. Man, even the other shows were cool. tech-live, and the show with John Dvorak. man, that channel used to be stocked with good, smart, tech savy people. Now it is full of silly things. I mean, I like xplay, but, i dont need 12 shows on 1 channel about gaming.

I feel the same way. Shame TechTV had to die so soon.

I think this is a good move for G4TV, even if the channel still has the slogan "Videogame TV". They're trying to mix up their programming and gain more viewers. I have no problem with that, at least they have the guts to bring back a technology-oriented show.

I miss my TechTV.  Once the merge happen, Aussie viewers lost the channel :(

or possibly just trying to get more money...id feel more satisfied if they just gave me back my techtv :angry:

howd techtv go bankrupt anyway...i mean with so many supporting fans out there i dont get it... :unsure:

The guy from X-Play makes me go CRAZY. His voice is so damn annoying. I always turn off the TV every time I hear him come on. Arrg. Honestly though, they're down to about 9 shows that they actually "show" at least once a day. Most of the time, the shows are all repeats. The only show that is new every day is Call for Help. Only one of them is actually remotely worth watching (again, Call for Help) although, like most of the people here, I miss the Screen Savers like it used to be. G4 seriously messed things up with this merger. It's all gone downhill and it sucks. Leo Laporte is all they have left.

Also, bringing random sucky bands to perform during AOTS is depressing and just gloomy. :(

I would rather listen to his voice than watch those STUPID knockoff commercials that G4TV was running.

Im speaking of the commercial that was in Black and White. It was just different G4TV show hosts, and their faces, just saying "dont vote for a bad game" "race to G-phoria". The complete knockoff of the commercial running on every other channel on TV where its famous actors in black and white speaking about hwo we need to make a difference in Africa.

I got so ****ed off about that commercial. The Africa hunger situation is a serious issue. And they are using that to make their own stupid entertainment commercial about a stupid awards show that no one could give a rats ass about.

OH NO...A BAD GAME MAY WIN AN AWARD NO ONE CARES ABOUT!

African Hunger? what?...

god...

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
