We begin with a cheerful, cocoa and gin-induced non-denominational holiday spectacular... to another, kinda somewhat cheerful, cocoa and gin-induced non-denominational holiday spectacular spiked with just a little bit of eggnog spite... then as they spiral into a depressive state with Ratty, Stumpy and their alcohol-obsessed friends in their Homeland For the Holidays Special... to their legal Elvian overlords... to the point where they pretty much stopped caring about the satire and focused solely on gaming.
From the PS2 to the Xbox to the Gamecube to the GBA to the PC to the DS to the PSP to the Xbox 360 to the PS3 to the Wii to Buddha Claus. Whether you're celebrating Christmas, Kwanzaa, Festivus, Hanukkah, New Years, Bacon Day or the third Tuesday of the month, X-Play has you covered.
The first three episodes were converted from VHS. The last two episodes were recorded from broadcast using the EyeTV 250+.
BTW... the thumbnail picture you see for this episode was taken from the TechTV website in 2003. I'm not sure who actually took the picture, but its memory shall live on... or something.

The Lightning Thief, you nailed it. I noticed you posted about G4. What a terrible/great network that was. It's coming back! Later this year in 2021! What a terrible/great idea, right? Here's the point of all this... do you want to just watch crappy, unofficial fan uploads? Or do you want to watch crappy official uploads of NEW G4 content? Think about it.

When people used to joke about not saying Christmas and now every time I go out people seem scared to actually say CHRISTmas. I always get Happy Holidays.
Their comedy style was super ahead for a video game program. This aged really well lol
This really cures the holiday depression, I see why people comment "thanks for uploading" now
I like how Morgan says that the Dreidel is made of clay & the camera zooms up on it showing that it is clearly made of wood.

46:45 You know I don't if I should laugh or cry that "I still don't have health insurance" joke is still relevant to this day.
I miss these times so much.
This is literally the greatest thing ever. Thank you for posting this
Surely they knew kids were watching this stuff... haha
I watched this show when I was like 10-14 and I couldn't believe it was cancelled. the further I get into this compilation the more I'm impressed by just how many years it was on the air!! such a great show!
Oh the memories... loved these two. Miss them and TechTV so much.
The 2003-2005 specials were such great shows.
Best tv of the 2000's
Thanks for the upload! Some good memories here
You’re the best! I love these episodes, and I never imagined it would be possible to watch them again. It’s such a pleasant delight when I can sit down to watch this show. This makes me happy, watching on Thanksgiving weekend, so thank you very much!

But you know what was missing? The G4 network making fun of all of them! We fixed that, because G4 is relaunching later this year! Okay, we're gonna wrap this up.

2007 X-Play is still so weird to me. The first 5 or 6 months had the typical satire and humor...then it becomes the prototype for its 2008 rebrand, as well as having a smaller stage. I mean...its only a large screen. What happened to the late 2006/early 2007 look?

The G4 production studios were closed and they were forced to relocate to the E! Building. It was a smaller set, so they could not relocate the giant orb of doom, or whatever it was called, and had to settle for some curtains and TV screens.
I forgot how biting and dipping lightly into politics x play was lol. God at least it had a personality. Wish more youtube game review makers had xplay kind of quality.

Tech TV was great.
Ah a blast from the past nice.
I didn't care too much for the games they reviewed but I enjoyed the show as a whole.
Ah, nostalgia ❤
The original will always be the best. I also remember there was some controversy about "Manhunt" being recommended, but then it got a 2 out of 5 in a later episode.

Aside from the actual reviews, they sound drunk in the first episode in this bunch
Ya know. After many years of thinking of the show and seeing what happened after that I'm not sure if Adam or Morgan were gamers. If I've learned anything in these many years it's the majority of people working in the gaming industry, especially when it concerns reviews just treated gaming like a job and didn't really have a strong attachment to the nuances of the space and it's audience. They just sort of network with other reviewers and they develop their own side of the gaming sphere that they project onto us.

They are.
Amazing how many games stories revolved around the "vile nazis", yet no games about why the germans were pissed in the fist place. Or no games about the bolshevik revolution or the gulags.
