Does anyone watch this? Just wondering since I do sometimes before i go to work, purely for the vids of games. I can't stand the host. You'd swear he doesn't play games, and is never funny, never, and tries to hard to be cool. Then the review of mortal Kombat this morning. They referred to the x-ray moves as fatalities and the number one reason they like the game is because it has Johnny Cage, because he's chuck Norris. WTF.
 
Yeah when pippa left the whole thing went backwards... I wonder if the number of viewers went down when that happened...
 
I tried, I really did, but a show about Videogames in this day and age feels redundant what with the internet and you don't need a presenter for one either, voice over is fine. Show games not some morons smsing through.
 
Thomas Kumede fails sadly.

he sounds overlyenthusiastic and looks like he is forcing his like of doing the show.

Jeez don't even get me started on the SMS thing, cheapens it in my opinion. And yes. Just footage of games with a voice-over would do me fine. I just want to see games and game-play. Preview footage that sort of thing. Also when they do a voice over, by someone who is passionate about games, more than their own image.
 
Agreed, Pippa was pretty cool. I've watched maybe 3 episodes since she left and I'm not planning on watching any again until she comes back.

Even then, The Verge is an average show, but still better than most on South African television.

I agree with you 100% I am telling you now he does not know anything about games except for Killzone2. He disses rpg's???!!! PLUS he doesnt even know how to pronounce certain companies or games' names. I laugh at it, when I listen that is, usually I pvr it, forward through his foolish gabs and watch video previews and dev diaries and what not. And the reviews are a joke, seriously. But still I watch it to see the game footage and see if Im interested.

Hah! Cybernet was my fave program back in the day :)

Pippa was ok, at least you got the sense that she played the games, the new dude tries too hard to be cool and hip, can't say I enjoy him much. I hardly ever watch now, except for putting the tv on in the sparrows-fart hours in the morning and catching the videos.
 
People actually liked Pippa? I thought she was as boring a host as can be. I'd much rather watch the news at 7 with Rian Cruywagen on repeat.
 
They're looking for female video game bloggers to feature in the show. If anyone is interested. I thought about it, but the show isnt what it used to be a year or 2 ago. Plus the effort isnt worth it.
