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.

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.

    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.

    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.
