I don't know what's worse; G4 or Kotaku. Maybe a post on Kotaku mentioning G4?...
Adam Sessler is an awesome guy who deserved much more than G4. Glad to see him move on. I'd love to see him have a show on the Escapist or something.

or Revision3 :)
I don't have basic cable (there's enough crap on terrestrial) so I find it hard to give a ahit. Still, he seems like someone who cares passionately about games.

I remember him. I think X-Play golden era was in early 2000 / 2002. After that, the show went downhill.

I always wondered why Sessler stayed with G4. On live shows there'd always be a feeling coming off him that he didn't really like being there or what they'd have him do/cover.

X-Play was a staple for me up until the TechTV buyout. I stayed around to watch post-G4 for awhile but the constant tinkering with the show and the whorification of Morgan Webb eventually turned me off the show.

I don't even think I get G4 on DirecTV anymore, even if I wanted to watch Ninja Warrior/Sasuke...
I used to watch Adam back in the TechTV days. When Morgan was a web researcher for The ScreenSavers. I think X-Play was best in Kate Bottello's day. Authentic. When Kate left, Morgan didn't seem to have a clue about gaming. But Adam held the show till Morgan developed her skills. I think she got good. I watched her "grow up". From quiet girl hidden in the corner of the set, sitting in front of a PC. To getting some camera time then short segments of her own. And filling in for co-hosts on other shows. Being shy and awkward at first. But developing camera confidence, presence, and personality the more air time she got. Enough to co-host a popular show with a legendary host.

If not for the G4 takeover, I'd probably still be watching. The vibe and the content of X-Play and The ScreenSavers changed drastically. The channel wide content was targeted to just the young male demographic (14+). But Adam was good enough that I watched for a time. But just couldn't hang with the program changes. If he were to do his own show, web or cable, I think the content and quality of the show would be very different that G4's X-Play. And would do very well. He's created a brand name for himself. He IS Adam Sessler.

I agree. It was awesome back in the day as the other shows like Portal.

Vagabond: Adam Sessler is one of the game journalists who is incredibly talented and knowledgeable. I hope he goes onto something better than G4.
Indeed. The guy deserves something better. Hope he gets it.
