My god what a sad channel GN is .
It is pathetic [except for game clips] but Ivan is very very good at what he does and he is Irish:)

Wut the hell he's Irish? sounds like an Yank/Brit, I find that channel really really bad cuz most of the people on it talk like faggots or talk like were retards and dont understand them, i may watch the odd bit of clans, even tho its mostly HL mods, has sum ok BF vid's tho, i hate the gameclips cuz theres always **** heads on the bottom of it txtin in, everytime i see the clips theres always one fcuker there called anon, i wouldnt mind slappin him in the face

shinzon · 27-08-2003 2:13pm

i see the clips theres always one fcuker there called anon, i wouldnt mind slappin him in the face

Kold · 28-08-2003 4:43pm

I'm not even gonna comment on that anon bs...

Ivan, aaah now i remember! Can't say i've ever listened to a word he's said though. Gimme the Italian chick anyday Bellina or whatever the fork her name is

Tails · 29-08-2003 12:10am

Ivan, are you sure hes irish? he sounds very american with me.
Hes the only decent person on that channel. although saying that its not a very good channel.

shinzon · 30-08-2003 12:27pm

the legend is definitely irish, besides the fact he says he is every 5 minutes and has an irish accent, he gives preference to irish e-mailers on the contact-us show

so pretty conclusive methinks

up the legend

Ahh game network.
The shopping channel with annoying accents,that throws in some softcore porn at night.

I know a guy that used to work there (Carl - did a few shows, inc the legend of mir), and when he quit, he told me about the conditions there.

He worked for about €15,000 a year, and the place was a basement. There was ONE guy that did all the not-so special fx, music, pretty much everything on computers, and he got €65,000 a year. That guy quit, and Carl thought some of the money would contribute to his pittance. But the €65000 simply vanished...

They also went and advertised a rival MMORPG to the legend of mir, even when the legend of mir show was on, it'd bark on about the myth of soma in some corner of the screen.

The channel is an absolute joke, and I'm suprised they're still on the air. [/rant]

Retr0gamer · 02-09-2003 11:33am

Where and to who do we complain?

Kold · 03-09-2003 7:08pm

Someone post a pic of bettina!

Tellox · 03-09-2003 10:53pm

her accent makes my fists long for the smashing of faces!

spooky donkey · 04-09-2003 7:59pm

yeah where the hell is she from she has the strangest accent!
It has to be the worst channel of all but Ivan is ok i supose.

I did notice his Irish accent and wonder how he landed in such s **** channel, who the hell really wants splinter cell for a mobile phone anyway!

Retr0gamer · 05-09-2003 8:39am

He's getting his his foot in the door of the gaming business and doing a good job of it. It's better than what Shinji had to go through. He got some woeful slaggings from dustin the turkey.

spooky donkey · 05-09-2003 3:35pm

Nothing wrong with dustin he the man, or turkey !

Kyotokid · 07-09-2003 1:23pm

I got forwarded this thread - I don't think I'm a legend ^_^

Nice post - Thanks

I took the job at GN because I was living in Italy and my grasp of Italian was non existant so I need to find a job I could do in english and that catered to my...um...previous experience.

The plan was never to be on telly.

I previously worked in 'real' games biz (and will again)

Cheers. I have no real interest to be on TV - It's a job though. I'm a more comfortable presenting (Well it has been like 9 months) but its not what I want to do.

Least we'll have a few new shows formats on since we're back from holliers...pity 'clans' was on EVERYDAY of August - bet you didn't get sick of seeing the same 10 eps all the time

[Edit - oh and since your an Evil Dead fan like myself (like everyone?) if you haven't played it yet - Fistful of Boomstick isn't too bad...better than I thought it would be, and 10x better than 'Hail to the King' *shudder*]

Kold · 07-09-2003 2:42pm

omg omg OMG its HIMMMMM

shinzon · 07-09-2003 2:49pm

man thx for posting here, now we need you back on contact-us, no offense to the guys that are presenting it now, but it was a better show with you on it

Cheers again

The other guy is a canadian called Noel.
Game Clips : usually the editor, so that usually means 80's Metal, unless you tell them - here put this music with this clip.

Most of the time a clip gets made without my knowledge so by that time its too late to suggest putting some Jungle music to it (My usual suggestion

)
