>That episode where Sara and Candice wrestled in oatmeal in cowgirl outfits
Literally got up at like 5 AM to watch the episode while my parents were asleep. I wonder if they're still close friends.
it will flop.
Their target dont watch DXD. And anyone here will just wait for the torrent.
On top of being heavily commercialized and lacking any charm from the golden years.

THE
GAMER
BLOCK
It's going to be filled with SJW shit, isn't it? I wonder if it will be a requirement to play at least one episode of Anita's web series every day?
I watched Attack of the Show almost daily for a while when I was in middle school.
Fuck that Olivia Munn bitch though, the show was in decline when they brought her on. It was all about that Sarah Lane.
>>380540029
Oh boy, can't wait to watch overage hosts use "hip cool language" whilst being the 1000th other company paid by Blizzard to shove Overwatch into our faces, hislt only focusing on Moba garbage, overrated indies and triple A garbage paid advertised by Ubisoft, EA, Activision, etc.
>>380540029
Have two careers ever diverged as sharply as Munn-Honey and Kevin "Life Hacks" Prerererereaa ?
This is some George Michael and that other faggot caliber shit.

What fucking demographic are they trying to reach with this? Because IGN, Waypost and certainly not Attack of the Show, are not meant for kids.

>Munn sucks dicks in a chain onto an Iron Man 2 cameo, leading into a book deal, becomes Psylocke
>Perrera fucks up his Ninja Warrior chance on stage 1 and still does ads for gamestop in-store loops

I suppose the IGN show could be decent since it's just news and coverage, and we haven't seen anything like it since X-Play and G4 died.

They have the funds and access to talent to create one.

Dropped

It's true. When I am playing video games, I only think about how diverse the cast is.
Of course I don't play video games mostly. They're a haven of sexism and bigotry. Anita told me so.
