Anyone remember a particular tv show??

redmosquito

OK, looking for a bit of help, I know its only a slim chance though!!
Around 2003-2004 there was a live show on one of the tv channels on sky (Cant remember the name, but it was on one of the sorta independant, low-budget channels).
There were dudes basically sitting facing the camera, discussing games and playing games (which would be shown on the bluescreen in the background), taking texts and playing online games against viewers, and generally just having the craic. It was on from like 4 to half 6ish or 7 monday to friday.
Cant for the life of me remember the name of it, but would love to find out, any help would be appreciated, surely I wasnt the only one who watched it!!
They did have an obsession with Knights of the Old Republic for a while if thats any help!!!

Oh, and it isnt game network that im thinking about!!

Im fairly sure it was called "gamerweb" and ended on new years eve 2005? due to lack of funds - i remember there was a guy who knew about games with a beard and glasses who could waffle for ages - with decent games journalist skills. Then i remember there was 2-3 other presenters who knew nothing about games who were just out to jump-start a TV presenting career, their lak of knowledge or ability to play/review games used to annoy me a lot - i remember seeing one of the presenters (Yiannis?) turn up on one of those stupid TV quiz channels a month or two back.

The whole show was really amateurish but because it was independent its reviews and comments were un-biased/influenced - by todays standard its very like something ud see off a podcast or youtube reviewer

Ha! That was a turning point in my adolescence. Hoping to God that because the show was on at about 12:55am, she might get her boobs out...Oh to be 15 and not know about t'internet...

Emily Booth is on Xleague sometimes, I think.

Don't know the show you described but there is (was?) 1 on one of the MTV channels that sounds similar, just two lads talking, can't remember the name of it though.

XXXLeague?

I can't remember the name of the show, but it was on a channel called Game Network. Used to be a lot of Italian/English presenters on it and in its early days it had some very good shows. Towards the end, they started putting on those ****ing TV quiz shows and less gaming. Then it became a late night erotic phone show channel and in the end went bust and went off air.

Seconded on bringing back Bits. I remember waiting up until the early hours just to watch them 3 birds chatting about games. Am I wrong for thinking Alex (the american one) was hot???


Edit: It could also be Up Up Down Down which is shown on the MTV channels the odd time??

Thank you Hercule, i forgot to check earlier on, I could have saved you from having to type it repeatedly!!

Ya, the bearded fella was a bit of a nerd but he knew his stuff, they also had a forum on the net where you could discuss with the presenters.
I think it was its shoddy presentation and 100% live environment that made it sort of a favourite of mine, used to watch it pretty much every day!

Christ and I had nearly forgotten but now it's all coming back to me - that junkie prick giving out cheat codes and the terrible,terrible reviews. Jesus that whole show was terrible beyond belief.

Bad Influence ftw.

gamerweb was way too dull for my liking. gamezville was disgrace to humanity.

when games attack which was on bravo was alrite, gamer tv is nice and informative but nothing special. i vaugely remember bits, pretty good iirc but most gaming shows seem to be a joke
