My girls are back! Laura Foy and Tina Wood are back! Who the hell are they? Why the 2 girls in the picture over there, silly! Still nothing? Oh, that's right. You aren't a big dork like me. Well, at least you don't admit it. Or know it yet. Is it a lifestyle choice or genetics? Who knows? Anyway, they were the former hosts of the show G4TV.COM on the former gaming channel, G4. I say former gaming channel because it is now becoming more like Spike TV. G4 started out as a channel completely devoted to video games. They saw the success of TechTV, which I loved and watched many a show on, and decided to buy it out. They promptly killed almost every show on it except for 1 or 2. Ironically, the TechTV show about gaming, X-PLAY, has become one of G4's biggest hits. My other favorite TechTV show,THE SCREENSAVERS, was turned into ATTACK OF THE SHOW. A show that I have grown to like all about pop culture and some technology.
Laura and Tina co-hosted the video game review/interview show G4TV.COM. That show was part of G4's programming and lasted after the merger. Well, until G4 axed one of their own babies back in December. These 2 were the poster kids for the channel before the merger and now they get brushed aside for all of the new lame programming. But, they are back. With a vengeance!
What are they doing? Yep, porn. My dream has come true. No, no. Though it was a running joke between them about how fans always wanted them to start making out. No, they have started a webcast. The Show on 10 is available online right now. Go ahead. Click it. Don't be scurred! I wouldn't lead you anywhere seedy or naughty. Okay, yes I would, but I promise not this time! What is their show about? According to the site:
"10 is a place for people who want to use technology to change the world. Every weekday at 10:00 am (PST) we’ll update this site with a new video that highlights people, their passions and often the technology they are using. At the end of each week we compile these videos into a full length show with some extra surprises for you."
Sounds intriguing? Enticing? Exciting? Okay, maybe that's just me. What the fuck do you know? I know everything and what I say is gold, bitches! Fuck that, it's platinum!
Check it out. Ignore it. Whatever. Haven't you learned to trust my judgement by now, people? If anything, just check out 2 hot chicks talking about geeky stuff. Nothing hotter.
Well, unless they start making out.
My question for the "new" G4 always was: Why do we NEED another Spike?
Actually, there ARE about twelve different Lifetimes (not to mention all the We's and Oxygens), but I don't think that automatically means we need another Spike. All that means is that we need fewer Lifetimes.
And they're showing "Cruel Intentions" fairly regularly on Fox Family. What is seriously up with that?
