For a while we got G4 which had a ton of cool and shit content before it merged with TechTV and became mostly shit content. Other than that, uh, Nick Arcade? Toonami has some game content but it was usually just filler(but good filler) between shows. Some areas had local access shows that covered gaming, we didn't. I'm sure people will show up acting like they watched Gaming in the Clinton Years when it originally ran, don't believe their lies.

>>11823615 (OP)
G4 was peak before the TechTV merger. Portal, Cinematic, Icons, Judgment Day, even the station idents were kino.
After the merger it all went to shit.

>>11823643
Never understood why they got rid of Portal out of all those shows
Also the fact that like 40% of Unscrewed w/Martin Sargent is missing makes me sad

>>11823615 (OP)
My parents were christfaggots so I grew up watching PBS and Christian brainrot

>>11823615 (OP)
Game Nation in the early 90's on CTV

>>11823659
you might have enjoyed watching ren and stimpy more than veggie tales, but your brain would've rotted just as much, if not worse.

>>11823680
I watched Ren and Stimpy religiously and I became an engineer. Brain works as intended.

>>11823615 (OP)
For video games? I guess G4 was aired here in the early 2000s for a while on TechTV. It was utter trash. In the 90s... nothing, Video game shows weren't a thing that aired here at all for the 90s. Unless you're counting Super Mario Super Show or Captain N or Super Mario World show as much late 80s.


>>11823680
Few things are worse than Christian brainrot. That sort of shit messed up so many kids. Ren and Stimpy on the other hand... was just stupid. Maybe you'd remember lines and memes of it, but you didn't take shit to heart like that was how the world works, unlike religious garbage.

>>11823615 (OP)
Anything i could get my hands on. Subido, Jyrki, Game Over, TiLT!, Hugo and Peliluola.

>>11823657
G4 would treat everything Japanese like it's subhuman and then use gravure models to fill time. Weird dynamic

>>11823659
My parents were Christian and weren't faggots like your parents. No need to blame Christianity instead of them. It just makes you sound bitter.

>>11826617
Can we blame christianity for all the boys that were molested? Or should we just sweep all the atrocities that have come from christianity under the rug like you?

>>11827083
>Can we blame christianity for all the boys that were molested?
Only if you can show where the Bible (or even the church) teaches molesting boys is moral. Otherwise, blame the individuals who commit those acts instead of the religion that tells them not to do it in the first place.

I can't believe Spider-Man would cheat on Mary Jane with some skank-ass ho at some convention. What would Ben think if he saw him?
This is NOT excelsior, true believers.

>tfw my parents weren't religious but all their friends were and didn't let their kids use electronics whatsoever, so they didn't let me play T-rated games nor watch PG-13 movies until I was actually 13 while insisting they were super permissive because they let me watch SpongeBob and have game consoles
>tfw everyone else in kindergarten was playing San Andreas and watching R-rated movies
>tfw I wasn't even allowed to watch KoTH nor TBBT until 8th grade and stopped watching TV entirely when I turned 12 because I was embarrassed about watching baby shit
>tfw they now insist they never restricted me from anything other than R-rated movies, M-rated games, and South Park

>>11823615 (OP)

Pretty much Canadian Video Power, if that makes sense.

>>11823615 (OP)
We didn't have too much in the early 90s. I remember watching Video Power and thinking it was pretty cool. Half of it was game coverage (and thinly disguised advertorial content for Acclaim products) and the other half was a cartoon featuring a smattering of Acclaim characters fighting crime against the villains from NARC. It's hilariously B-team. Captain N gets Mega Man and Simon Belmont and Video Power gets...the cop from NARC and the tomato guy from Kwirk?
The second season had a complete format change and became a game show. The final around had the winning team running through a maze in a velcro suit and they'd try to stick game cartridges to them as they ran through it. Fucking kino honestly.
I was also a big fan of Nick Arcade which had some custom games (made by Psygnosis!) and a selection of console and Neo Geo games you could play where your partner would wager points to see if you could beat a score threshold on a game. It's historically interesting I guess because they had an early version of Sonic 2 on there.

>>11827083
For video games, DZ (Discovery Zone) was a kino place, since it had thos MiB and Godzilla: The Animated Series light gun games (featured heavily on their TV commercials). For your off-topic question, we can blame organizations/religions (like the Vatican cult) that have justified such actions by consistently excusing and moving around those "people" (instead of taking responsibility for them), yes, in the same way we don't accuse all strains of "non-religious" people of shooting up a Presbyterian Christian school for the sake of "enby and trans rights", encouraging murdering in the name of LeVeyan Satanism and Elizabeth Warren (Dayton shooting from a few years ago), or touching children at a furry convention. Go to the source text, where, when actually followed (ie, when the words of Christ and no one else is followed), encourages millstones being tied around those "people's" necks (as well as a not-for-profit outreached hand to anyone whose been hurt or even anyone wants to admit they've done wrong and be clean from their wrongdoings from the inside out). "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

>>11826617
oh zip it bitchboy. one of the actual reasons for christianity's decline that i never see anyone talk about is the amount of low IQ boomers that used it as a tool of punishment rather than one of spiritual enrichment. more than half the people my age i've met had some version of "my parents weaponized the faith against me which made me disillusioned with it and religion in general later in life"

>Can we blame christianity for all the boys that were molested?
Per capita, teachers and rabbis molest more children.
We shouldn't ignore any of it, but if it actually matters to you, you probably wouldn't only focus on the one group you beef with politically and socially.

>>11831069
/vr/ is the arrested development board and sister board to /r9k/. nobody here is going to take any responsibility for themselves. it will always and forever be their parents fault. don't waste your time, bro.

>>11827083
You're thinking of Catholics, not Christians.

thanks for acknowledging you know i'm right

Well, maybe not exactly Video Power. It's more a showcase on games, music, movies, amongst other things, but also primarly Video games for Canada in the 90s and up to the mid-2000s.

also it's main theme totally is a remix of Crash Man's Stage.

Movies Games and Videos from Youkay TV.
CNET also used to have a TV show?

>>11827208
sounds like good parenting and GTAs are buggy shit anyway. play some real car racing games.

>>11833242
Yeah for real. My 7 year old bitches I won't let him play Fortnite but he's well adjusted while his friend who plays it is an aggressive little spaz

>>11833242
>>11833392
I could literally only play bingshit and sports games (and not the cool ones like skateboarding) when I first jacked off. If you don't see a problem with a kid not being allowed to watch/play ANYTHING that's not fucking Mario nor Pixar until SEVENTH GRADE, you're either an extremely sheltered religious weirdo or acted like Butters as a kid and to this day believe nobody wanted to hang out with you because "kids are cruel" or some shit.

Also, just for the record, I went from being the "good kid" in early elementary school to having severe mental health problems and getting suspended like a dozen fucking times in high school for things like calling teachers niggers to their faces in class. Good luck with your 7-year-old (if they're real), faggot.

Sounds like your parents were overprotective of you and you're trying to blame anything other than their obsessive paranoia for the reason you didn't get to play Grand theft Auto as a kid. Get a grip, faggot(s).
>getting suspended like a dozen fucking times in high school for things like calling teachers niggers to their faces in class
People definitely made fun of you.

>>11834120
>People definitely made fun of you.
At that point, I didn't give a fuck.

>>11834128
Sure you didn't, bud.
Anyway, to get back on topic: you ever watch G4 later in life?

>>11834131
found it at one point when was residing in Colorado, it was kinda fun seeing stuff like Attack of the Show, Web Soup, X-Play, and the occasional Sasuke broadcasts. Also introduced me to a few movies such as Big Trouble in Little China (under the "Movies that don't suck" line)

But after it left DirecTV well... that was almost the last I heard of it till getting back "Home" when I found that Bell had G4 on it but well, it felt kinda empty. Nothin' but Cops for the majority of the time.

>>11834060
If your parents let a kid like you play GTA you’d be on death row by now. No doubt in my mind they made the right decision with a little psycho like you

>>11834586
>I went from being the "good kid" in early elementary school
retard

I also know a kid who's currently 17 with similarly strict parents. He's spent half his fucking teen years in juvie.

Only us krauts will probably remember this. Ran for many years at 10pm, "GIGA" was also its own TV channel. They went bankrupt more than a decade ago. It used to be extremely frustrating to watch them try to get a game running and failing for half an hour.

>>11823615 (OP)
I remember a show on YTV where they showcased and/or reviewed video games, I remember watching it in like, 1996. I remember it being kind of "edgy" but I was like, 9 at the time. Back during the Dreamcast launch, they started a new show filmed inside, I think the Playdium arcade around Toronto. Sega was one of the sponsors I believe.

So, I watched those two shows, Video & Arcade Top 10, Electric Playground, and that was pretty much it.
