I've never liked X-Play.  I know that lots of people enjoy the snarkiness and sarcasm but I really can't stand it.  I've been told by people who have worked with him that Sessler is really a good guy so I'm glad he landed on his feet.

Pretty much.  They tried to make their reviews entertaining by adding stupid wise cracking jokes and really did a good job of making it as lame as possible.  They tried revamping it a couple times, but it never really worked.   I like Sessler, but Morgan Manjaw came off as c***y 100% of the time.

As for AOTS, Candace Bailey was the final nail in the coffin for that show.  What an annoying brat she is...id like to meet the guy that decided she was the best fit after Olivia bailed.

I didn't watch the shows that often, but I did like both shows.  I stopped watching the channel regularly around 10 years ago (same as most people).  Back in the day I loved that channel.  The reruns of Starcade, the MMO show they had and old episodes of X-Play were ALWAYS on when I was at home.

I'll miss them.  I still hope that another video game centric channel will pop up eventually.  I doubt it, but a man can hope.

G4 stopped being good before i was old enough to drive.
So 8 years ago?

This, it was best when it was TechTv

I agree with this. I use to watch it back then. After they merged I stopped watching.

Agreed. It started sucking when both channels merged.  I guit watching when that happened.  Both were awesome before that.

I never had TechTV or G4, so I feel nothing about this news.

Never understood the appeal of Olivia Munn so much on that show.  She certainly is hot, but man that girl has some personality issues.  Far too many for me to find her entertaining.  No, AoTS died when Sarah Lane and the excessive amount of sketches left in '06.

Oh, and bring back Leo!

I thought the chemistry between Kevin and Olivia was very good.  They could throw a conversation back and forth very naturally and Olivia would roll with anything.  And for the first few years she was on the show she was dynamite sexy looking.  They turned down her sex appeal after awhile, god knows why. 

Candace, on the other hand, would just balk at everything Kevin said that was even remotely vulgar.   Even if it wasn't she wouldn't say much of anything at all in response, then just shake her head like he was "crazy", give him a yuck face, and continue reading the teleprompt.  She added NOTHING to the show.  Why she was chosen over Alison Haislip I'll never understand.
