God I miss the old days. Something about watching the old Extended Play series is just fascinating to see how far we've come, and yet Adam remained a constant.
Adam Sessler Leaves G4
- Thread starter Marshall Honorof
- Start date
Gods, has it really been 14 years since I saw him pretend to staple his penis on Extended Play? Wow. Time flies.
Time to download all the Sessler's Soapbox videos....

I used to love X-Play, but I'm kind of glad for him leaving. I think it's a good move to jump off of that sinking G4 ship.
Also, has anyone noticed that all of his hair seems to have migrated from one end of his head to the other? It's freakin' me out a bit.

You can't make him like things he doesn't. Also, if people don't like something that doesn't mean they can't improve journalism regarding it.RaikuFA said:
I really, really want to avoid making comments to effect of "Finally, he was too good for that place! Everyone else on G4 constantly acted like they were too cool for the gig, but Adam seemed to care about what he did."
...but damn, it is difficult.

That's unfortunate. Adam was the only host on G4 that I actually enjoyed. I remember hearing him on NPR having a go at one woman who was all up in arms about how GTA4 "encourages drunk driving". I wanted to give him an applause, he managed to keep his cool when that woman was so idiotic.
But hopefully now he'll get a better job. I'd love to see him on the Escapist, but I think that's a pipe dream.

Because we have enough self-entitled fuckwits on the Escapist as it is. Removing Bob and getting Sessler wouldn't be -1/+1, it'd be +1/+1.CruisingForBiddies said:
I'm sorry what? I cant tell if you are joking or not. MovieBob creates great content for this site with Escape to the Movies and The Big Picture. Even though I don't agree with his decision to voice his hatred for high-school he still makes great videos. And he doesn't come across as self-entitled at all... The irony here is killing me.Freechoice said:
So many downer debbies in this thread.
Never knew the guy, watched a couple of videos though and he'd be great for The Escapist, he voices a strong opinion and knows his shit.

Are we talking the same Bob Chipman here? The same Bob Chipman that had a hissy fit when The Expendables did better at the box office than Scott Pilgrim vs The World did and flat-out insulted anyone, and I mean ANYONE, that went to see the Expendables? If I recall, he called them the lowest of low-class, knuckle-dragging, drooling neanderthals if they dared went to see a movie that he didn't particularly enjoy over a "meh" teenage high school drama with a hipster/video game take.CruisingForBiddies said:
Yeah. Bob's more than a bit self-important.
Well Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is better than The Expendables...Epictank of Wintown said:
Not the point, sure he can be pretty vocal about his opinions but surely the value of his work is slightly greater than his potential for hissy-fits? Also, when calling someone a 'self-entitled fuckwit' and suggesting they should be sacked because you don't like them is actually funny.
That's a strange pair of reviews to go to the walls over. I've played both those games in the past year, my PS2 is still plugged in mostly because I'm still working through Gust's back library, but they're not really pinnacles of the genre. They're low budget affairs that do not compare well with AAA titles of any stripe, and I think they're exactly right to call them niche products.RaikuFA said:
Besides, if you fired all the reviewers who don't like JRPGs, there wouldn't be any left.
The same Bob "the Movieman" Chipman that spent weeks bitching about Mass Effect fans not liking the ending and simultaneously glossing over their qualms without actually addressing them.CruisingForBiddies said:
Despite never having played the games.

Adam Sessler. It's been 6 years since I've even heard that name. When did he become bald? that's a nice beard.
I'm one of the few others who get nostalgic when hearing that name. I first watched extended play the few times it aired in my home town.
Then X-play came along and was a daily showing(re-runs mind you, but never a year old) and me and my siblings would watch it nearly religiously. And they didn't just do reviews, they often did sketches too(Though I can see why some people might not like them). I watched the show until some time into the G4 era where less emphasis was put on fun.
It's nice to hear about him again. I really hope he gets back on the saddle again. I think he was twice the Yahtzee, years before Yahtzee came along.
