Extended Play 10/12/2001

[@Weensx]

This was the era of gaming I'm proud to say I've grown up with.

[@Dudeonwheels]

I'm kinda almost taken aback by the MUCH slower pace of this as opposed to Xplay. It's kinda refreshing.

[@XxBakerxX72]

I miss them all, RIP

[@werdle92]

the head of Techtv/G4 pushed for a more "MTV" vibe and the channel progressed further into low attention span territory.

[@ThisGuitarIsAWeapon]

Wow... This makes me feel so old. What good times.

[@AirMasterNeo]

ThisGuitarIsAWeapon indeed

[@Kwicksand]

Man I miss these days! Reading GameInformer magazines in class was the best!

[@yogoyo25]

Dont mind me just going through X-Play's history after watching the reunion special

[@ZephusVargr]

Same

[@OriginalPhil]

Adam's hairline fought the good fight.

[@MobUp]

They should make a Medal of Honor game about the fight for Adam’s hairline Battle of the Bald

[@WutManintu]

There aren't enough Extended Play videos on KZbin.

[@kurisu3000]

I WANT TO GO BACK!

[@RetroFan]

You and me both. I was 18.

[@AirMasterNeo]

[@heavilyarmedgoy]

I loved this show soo much! I hated when they replaced Kate. THANKS!!!!

[@AirMasterNeo]

HeavilyArmedGoy I know right

[@caodesignworks2407]

Man, I miss Extended Play, and by extension, Xplay. But really, it was sessler's generally good opinion on games. I recall this episode from back in the day. It's so weird how close they stand to each other.

[@kicksoffs]

So many memories i could cry :(

[@seekthegreatness4818]

I was in the X-Play era when I moved to the U.S. from Ghana. I never knew Kate or Extended play existed so Morgan was my crush. People here seem really attached to Kate. I'm sure she was nice. Lol

[@DarthEvilicus]

Adam is the lead singer of Powerman 5000, I’ve never seen the two together

[@ブレイヴフェンサ]

They can’t be near each because their worlds will collide!!!!

[@matman000000]

How did I not know that Adam Sessler looked like Doc Brown?

[@lieutenantyoshi5704]

GREAT SCOTT! It is true he does. I miss this series back in the day.

[@kascnef]

Back when TechTV was a real channel and comcast didnt eat everything up

[@michaelangst6078]

Geezus. Adam looked like he was in his 50's at 30 years old.....

[@Mandalore47]

OMG Adam's hair!

[@AstralFrost]

Man those were some great days in video game history. And in Techtv history.

[@fayt87]

i like looking at how far we have come in these old episodes of extended play and x-play.

[@derelict33]

RIP Tech Tv. Fuck G4.

[@WeAreMovieMakers]

G4 isn't even around anymore.

[@goldbondisgod]

WeAreMovieMakers yes but fuck them

[@RicketyRooster]

WeAreMovieMakers It's still around...it's just not relevant. It's now basically one large commercial for Esquire Network.

[@Slightlyevil]

Hell at this point I'd take G4 over nothing. =(

[@davida7229]

@@Slightlyevil you still sure about that lol?

[@TheSamuraiSquirrel]

I miss this sooo much. I remember not renting a lot of games because of how much I trusted these reviews so much.lol The other day I checked out Revision3games here on youtube. It feels like the Old Extended Play and you get game reviews and The Sess.

[@Trini84818]

i remember this very 1st time i saw this show! it was august or september 98 it was called gamespot back then and they previewed zelda oot!

[@BiG_SorD]

Wow I remember watching this was I was 11 lol

[@huhhhhhhhhhhhh09]

I actually remember this episode, damn I was like 11. lol at the XP release commercial. This makes me feel old and I'm not even that old.

[@TheNdNb]

You can tell he has worked on his stage presence and his speech. He has refined his skills over the years.

[@Superstarjazzchip]

Wow this brings back so many memories! I had a Huge crush on Kate....still do LOL

[@Spoc1012]

wow i feel really old now. i miss tech TV, i use to watch it all of the time. now i don't even watch TV.

[@jamesv.4662]

Wow I feel really old I remember reading this comment 8 years ago

[@TheSamuraiSquirrel]

I'm sorry but I hope this video lasts until the end of time. I am sure it will since radio waves shoot out until the end of space lol So anyway. I was a little lad at the age of 15 watching this hahaha. I am 32 now. Oh my Gods! So how fast time flies and how far gaming has gone

[@user-xx1wz5ip1c]

awww you're getting old that's too bad but look on the brightside at least you're not a millenial zombie boy glued to his i-phone 247

[@Slightlyevil]

32 isn't old and is still in the millennial spectrum if I'm not mistaken. I'm 29 and def miss this show.

[@giantqtipz8117]

Im 27. Was 11 in 2011. I still rememver Extended Play :'(

[@zacharyh.4662]

If you were 11 in 2011 you would be 18 today.

[@giantqtipz8117]

Zachary Hickman I meant to write 2001 lol

[@KoTM25681]

Sess rocking the Billy Idol look lol.

[@gringoamigo8146]

I'm pretty sure Adam Sessler was a huge Powerman 5000 fan at the time.

[@259]

Tech TV always had integrity.

[@Pardoned]

Oh yeah? I'll have to check that out. I actually learned a lot of tricks I still use today watching his shows.

[@fayt87]

Seemed like it was more fun to be a developer back then.

[@will4127]

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. Gaming was more of a niche hobby then, and devs probably had more creative liberty than they do now.

[@eagle-eyes777]

Man, I wanna play those Xulu prototypes so bad, lol Especially "Condor" time to go on a deep dive and try to find them Edit: The most I've found of Condor is an archived page from their old website that simply reads "In Condor, experience the exhilaration of wind-powered flight while piloting huge gliders and trying to retrieve Endurium crystals."

[@MrEndlessly]

me 2 no lie these times where sumof the best n i was alwayz excited to watchexplay.

[@Mysteryof89]

omg, its been so long since I saw this opening

[@QuickLern818]

"You mean you have to use your hands? That's like a baby's toy!"

[@snowontheweb]

I don't know what it is but, these older episodes grab my attention more than the newer ones. Maybe its the settings and different locations they film on. Or maybe it's Adams hair lol!

[@dn7685]

I remember this episode!

[@TheLemonGrime]

I should be at home eating Cheez-It snack mix, waiting for my parents to arrive from work.

[@shinzantetsu]

Oh man, the memories!

[@wtfsamusidk7574]

The memories

[@J0elPeters]

This technology needs to resurface if it hasn't already. Seriously, could you imagine Zulu's prototype's utilized by BioWare, Valve, Bethesda or iD? This could be amazing next step forward. and look at what Carmack has been doing with VR tech and Doom 3 BFG. ATI/AMD and NVida have obviously done something similar with the multi screens but add an MMO space epic and you might have something amazing in the world of gaming.

[@mrscott9399]

Do you guys realize that he was 25 years old in this video! I was just 7 years old! Man, this was my childhood and I was so disappointed that they replace all the shows with cops the tv show

[@Cheshirecat55]

Oh wow... This brings back memories.

[@poobearpanda345]

yeah I remember that! wow things change

[@Zachariahus]

LOL wow. glad to see how far they have come.

[@Ld_277]

Adam's hair making a tactical retreat to the back of his head

[@johnrocket117]

this stuff is/was great... we're never going to anything like techtv again

[@CtheDead209-zt8tj]

Guess again

[@Mister1800s]

These were the good old days. But when 2008 came... everything wasn't the same. It's way different now.

[@ShootStyleZombie]

@wolfcutter actually Kate left, after replacing Adam's 1st co-host Lauren Fielder, and Adam hosted Extended Play himself until X-Play came about, which added Morgan as Adam's co-host

[@donavonbray]

Wow...who needs informative, high quality programming like this on G4? I mean, it's not like it's supposed to be a channel dedicated to technology. No sir...give me my "cheaters", "the man show", and "cops". And yes, I am being sarcastic to anybody who wants to mark this comment as bad. I love old school TechTV.

[@redroversk]

did we ever figure out what the future of gaming was?

[@CALISUPERSPORT]

pay to play and microtransactions my friend

[@wallacerigby4393]

Always thought Kate should have hosted X-play.

[@DedricSilva]

Why did she leave anyway?

[@AirMasterNeo]

@@DedricSilva different career choice, I remember her last appearance.

[@BiG_SorD]

They changed the name after she left

[@xenobreak1160]

@@BiG_SorD She took "E" and "tended" out the door when she left!

[@mjd3879]

@@xenobreak1160 what?

[@sfried]

He was also better back because of it. Thier naturalness to hosting the show is what lended itself to making it quality programing.

[@18fzero]

man i remember this stuff lol

[@julskechap]

i wish someone could also upload shows like Freshgear and ZDnet with tilde

[@Jpjetsfan]

Oh man!!!That's really cold dude!!!

[@IKhanNot]

Exactly. I actually learned quite good and relevant tips that I actually used. Now it's just all advertisements and filler on all of the G4 shows, they don't have that oomph that the old shows had.

[@XxiLLViLLAiNxX]

The thing is Cheaters is on another channel. It's on basic tv here in Baltimore.

[@NikkiWrightVGM]

At this time Morgan Webb was working at Call for Help. Kate Botello took her place here but she isn't the original co-host either, Lauren Fielder is Adam's original partner.

[@johnpa2006]

Adam Sessler BLINDED ME WITH SCIENCE !!!!! hahaha

[@LILRockStar226]

Memories :')

[@NapalmJustice]

Games like Rec Room and No Man Sky exist now that do everything Zulu wanted. There's even a VR arcade in my city. It's amazing what can happen in 20 years. =D

[@Peanut_Arbuckle]

omg i watched extended play all the time when i was 5 i remember adams old co host lolz now they changed 2 xplay

[@passionateintrovert]

"It's game time!" I guess some things never change =)

[@psycofloyd]

OMG I miss Extended Play!

[@Ktsumi101]

Wow, Adams hair. 90's style, I didn't get on board until recently on the whole X-play thing but I like this better. it feels more like it should be, truly for the gamers.

[@stonyack]

man i miss the old days

[@intrepid_wandering]

TechTV was awesome. Miss Screen Savers =]

I love being a nerd!!!!!

[@1337kamikaze]

SHENMU 2 I LOVED THAT GAME.

[@trinidadmetroid]

@rosengj I agree...at first I thought techtv (zdtv) was boring..but i actually LEARNT stuff. The screensavers was such an informative show and call for help actually taught me some computer repair tips. Extended play (gamespot tv) was the shizznit! And then it all went downhill :(

[@jaynekogames]

You are the reason good shows like this have been so mercilessly changed for the worse.

[@jeremy001]

When i enjoyed Tech TV :(

[@dinahcross]

Extended Play was definitely a classic. X-Play isn't bad, but it undermines what the classic video game reviews were. I don't know, that's just my opinion, really. But I think what I said was true enough.

[@devantethedcguyreactstoo252]

Damn I was nine years old lol

[@LiquidSnack]

Oh metreon, such good times :D miss that place

[@Daehawk]

Kate was so cute.

[@gannadoslayer1]

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD I JUST NOSTALGIA'D?!?

[@KyoushinKensei]

DAMN!!! thank god I started watching the show back in 2004, this is just a little too retro for me

This makes me feel a little better, actually. I'm 23.

i think adam was more polite in speaking back then. haha XD

Back before Adam revealed himself as a complete douche bag. Miss these days. This show aired about a month after 9/11

[@Kyddosuperstar]

Dude I feel you man... :(

[@AlterEgo3561]

God I miss those days, look at all the content in just one episode. Their reviews were longer and they showed alot more (basically they were actually usefull and proper reviews). Today there is just sooooooooo much uninteresting fluff. Interviews with devs that really dont tell me anything or ten second hands on demos that again tell me nothing. Or they read their forums posts and insult their viewers. PS- who else loves the commercial about the new Windows XP lol ahhh the good ol days.
