And, perhaps, another marathon of G4/TechTV content will be coming your way on THIS channel soon... 🤫

Just a head's up... this is either a reminder or notice for those of you who may not be aware and have either asked about the possibility of uploading episodes Electronic Playground (w/Judgment Day & Reviews on the Run). Those will not be featured on this channel; however, there is great news to be had... Victor Lucas is still out and about making new content on his channel over at youtube.com/@EPN

In addition, each Saturday a classic episode of Electronic Playground is being released back into the world.

At this exact moment, you can catch a live stream of Season 3 from 25 years ago (unless, of course, you are reading this in the future) right here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkL9Q...

Be sure to check out the rest of his content, but if you are up for classic EP goodness, you can find the first three seasons at the links below...

For anyone that might care, I did something last summer that aggravated my shoulder, which apparently left me with an inflamed rotator cuff or two. Unfortunately, it was kind of a "wait it out" scenario to see if it would get worse or if I can live with it.

Well, maybe a month or so back I reached out for something and felt a POP in my shoulder and in the last two weeks, the aggravation has spread down my arm and is now rather quite sore and painful at times. Thankfully, I'm going for further orthopedic assessment later this week and will be starting physical therapy next week. No structural damage was found previously, so I am remaining positive, but they wanted to hold off on further tests until 6 months down the line unless things got worse. Well, now, 6 months down the line, they are worse.

As those of you who have followed the channel a while may be aware, normally I will try and get an episode of SOMETHING TechTV or G4-related uploaded either every week, or at least a few times a month. Not knowing how things are going to pan out, I don't know how much I will be able to go through files to edit and upload as even gripping a mouse on some days can sometimes be daunting. Some days are good, some days are bad and some days are worse.

That's the part that sucks.

The good news for all of you who may be X-Play fans is that, in preparation, I've uploaded a bunch of episodes to go live all throughout April. Let us call it an "X-Play-It-Again" event, or some such nonsense like that. If all goes well and I can get them all done before the arm and shoulder REALLY get bad, the plan is that each weekday in April (Monday - Friday) there should be another episode of X-Play going live. Some are classic G4-era 2004 episodes, some may be 2006/2007 episodes, and a bunch are going to be from 2011/2012 (the last year or so) as the later episodes thankfully require almost no editing at all and we are literally 12 years out exactly from the first airing of many.

Either way, it's more X-Play getting out there, and, I THINK, only four episodes are repeat uploads from previous compilation videos. So if you like your videos in standard incremental deliveries, this is for you.

Starts tomorrow at 4pm EST.

One more thing --Those that have been following my pinned posts since Christmas are likely aware that a friend of the family was struck by a car on Christmas Eve and sustained several injuries. I spoke with her son today. She is doing better and has been moved out of the hospital for the second time (she had a relapse and had to return at one point). Some days are better than others, but she is still on a long road to recovery and dealing with several issues, including continued swelling, mobile functions and memory loss.

If anyone feels they may want to donate to her recovery, further information can be found here: www.gofundme.com/f/wrad6-angie-strong

Thanks.

Also... uhh... I guess, happy Easter for those that celebrate.

So this is where I get to use this channel for my own nefarious, counter-revolutionary purposes.

Earlier today, one of my friends online [ @bunkmastab ] who has a channel devoted to comic books and collected editions uploaded a video and gave me multiple shout-outs and a plug for this channel. I didn't know he was going to do that and only last night did he even hint that he had recorded a video to go live today and that I should probably check it out as I might get a mention in it. Well, it turns out that, yes, I did get several mentions and that was very nice of him to do that.

So now I am going to return the favor.

He doesn't know that I'm going to link to his channel and his videos, but I would appreciate if anyone reading this might spend a few moments checking the channel out.

You can find it at youtube.com/@bunkmastab

And you can find the most recent video he uploaded (and mentioned me several times) embedded here.

Now, I am not a person that asks anything of my viewers and I make no money off of this channel, but I would appreciate if anyone could stop by and check out the channel and give this video (and/or several others) a like. And if you feel like posting something about a comic book, go ahead and post. If I see enough LIKES and comments, maaaaaaybe I'll upload some stuff before the weekend is over. In fact, feel free to let him know what YOUR favorite comic books are or if you've even heard of a comic book.

Thanks.

This channel has been around for 9.5 years and the X-Play 20th Anniversary compilation is already the 4th most watched "public" video on the channel after less than 8 days. Chances are it will gain the status of second-most watched by this time next week. 😮

Thanks again to all the long-time viewers and those who have joined since the pandemic began, including the last week!

If you have a moment, here are a few questions that don't require accepting unwanted cookies and/or sharing your personal information with nefarious third-party sponsors...

1) Do you prefer single episode uploads or compilation videos?

2a) If single episodes, do you watch as standalone episodes or on a playlist?

2b) If compilation, would you watch scraggly old VHS conversions if edited into a compilation?

3) Do you prefer content to be uploaded directly or as a premiere with a live chat?

4) Do you prefer keeping in commercials when possible, or removing commercials?

5) Not that I plan on uploading anything in particular, are you interested in any original content or most specifically stuff like old content from G4 and TechTV?

This could be something, this could be nothing. I AM the master of procrastination, but I figured I would put out a few feelers to see what the audience does and doesn't prefer.

Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the 10,000th sub! Whoever the lucky person is, they tipped the scales at exactly 10:32pm EST.

As a reward for hitting the 10K mark earlier than anticipated (I gained something like 137 subs in the last 24 hours), I am moving up the 2003 Call For Help-a-thon upload I had planned for Memorial Day weekend to this Saturday and immediately posting an episode of X-Play from the final Adam Sessler season to go live RIGHT NOW.

At times I had questioned if it was even worth continuing the channel or if anyone would even care... but it looks like there will be more uploads to come, and maybe more marathon uploads as well.

Thanks again for watching, liking and subscribing over the years to all!

I hope everyone enjoyed the final San Francisco X-Play episode that went up a little while ago.

I just wanted to let everyone know that with the TechTV episodes now uploaded, I'm going to take a break from uploading for a little bit, while also figuring out what content to work on next for future uploads.

I've also come to the realization that I've uploaded a "new" episode of X-Play every day for 111 straight days now and 283 videos overall since this time last year. And although I've only really posted my own recordings, along with the AOTS content Casey provided last year, I do have a small, but sizable collection of web content I downloaded eons ago. I might consider putting up some of that if enough people are interested in it. If so, let me know below.

In the meantime, be sure to check out G4's official channels for their #B4G4 content each Friday and streaming content (usually) on Mon/Wed/Fri at the following:

youtube.com/g4tv
youtube.com/xplay
youtube.com/attackoftheshow
youtube.com/bleepesports
twitch.com/G4TV

And you can usually find me posting at the official G4 discord (discord.gg/g4tv​) if you feel you want to stop over. And remember that they're looking for any feedback you may have, good or bad, so if you want to see something on the new G4... have at it.

That said, thanks for watching and more content to come soon...

Just a head's up for those that subscribe to this channel and were also planning to watch the official G4 livestream today on Twitch, it has been cancelled due to extensive power outages and a fire in the surrounding area near their streaming location. The next livestream they have planned is scheduled for this Friday on Twitch and Youtube.
