Does anyone else miss these shows around here. I've been thinking about the "Dark Tips" segment a lot lately as well. But cmon, does "Cops" (the most redneck show on planet earth) really replace them? NO!!!

cops didn't replace Screensavers. AOTS did. AOTS sucks. They didn't let Ben talk and caused him to say

"Emulation is like Masturbation"

TSS rocks!!! I was a huge fan back when it still aired here in the US. Leo Laporte, Patrick Norton, and hell, even Kevin Rose wasn't that bad.

I used to be a huge fan of mod week (of which one of our own, Dave, had his PS1p appear on the show). That, and Yoshi's mods were always pretty neat, as well as the how-to segments, and the help callers were always interesting.

I was so pissed then the VP of G4 completely emptied his colon all over the network 1-2 years ago. I watched AOTS the entire first year it aired, but now it's just horrible! I, too, miss the Screen Savers...

Comcast ruined TechTV. G4 always sucked.

Yoshis BOXX was pretty cool, an xbox, ps2, nes, atari, a computer and more all in one case. Do you guys remember that one episode of TechTV when that guy dropped that rare cylinder record thing.

harshboy do you pork donkeys?

The only thing that G4 was smart enough not to completely contaminate was x-play, and now it is not as good as it once was...I for one really hate the hostile takeover of techtv, too bad it has gone to crap since...

I watched almost everything on TechTV now I watch nearly nothing...just X-play...mabye cheat...on a boring day...

Watch as they gawk over the addition of extra batteries to a $6 electric toothbrush.

This is really "special".
