G4 is finally going to stop pretending to be a geek/nerd/whatever-focused channel. They haven't been that since they got rid of their Tech-TV programming after the merger.

The only true setback is Ninja Warrior is now gone, and i cant watch E3 without it cutting off on me. Spike only airs like the Microsoft Coverage so that is pretty much it. My computer sucks too much for me to actually be able to watch it with out me having to unplug it.

They might still air Ninja Warrior and cover E3, I don't think they've said what they'll be airing.

What? That's the reason I watched them up until 2006 or so. You seriously want me to believe that with Cheaters and Cops and Ninja Warrior, they still thought they were the nerd channel?

Spike TV did more E3 coverage this year than G4 did.

Yeah, and what G4 did cover was not done as well as Spike.
