G4 game awards a joke

There's a short story on GameSpot about G4-TechTV's “G-phoria” game awards, and it sure sounds lame. Yes, I'm one of the many that hated the network merger (along with the functionally illiterate kids that keep posting in my blog), but it sounds like the Comcast folks don't even understand the audience they thought they had, let alone the one they acquired.

According to the story, people left mid-show, the production values were terrible and no one cared about the awards. I'm not surprised. Everything else they have on the air blows.

I sure hope they keep X-Play running and let it go as is (and not just because my wife and I think Morgan Webb is everything our media friends never got to be). Adam and Morgan might be a little goofy, but they're entertaining, not stupid and form intelligent opinions about games. Oh, and Morgan breaks up what is otherwise a total sausage party on that network.
