After the Thanksgiving reunion special starring Ron Funches and the 2005 era of G4 hosts (the hosts that everyone knows and love), we got many things such as what Around the Net would look <\/a>like in 2020, Drunk Link, and most importantly, WWE\u2019s Xavier Woods as an official member of the new era of G4 starting this year. So, with eyes on the future of G4 let\u2019s go back to the old days of 2002 when the network was in this edition of Celebrating G4 focusing on the videogame news show, Pulse, what it was, who hosted it, and what mark it left on the network after its cancellation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Was It?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pulse was a news show dedicated to interactive entertainment in a very traditional format seen at the time on other networks. The show looked very professional and well-produced when compared to other G4 shows at the time and well after the show ended. Like any news show, Pulse had interview segments with people in the video game industry from developers, to gamers, to content creators at the time who were using games to make content (Burnie Burns and Geoff Ramsey of Red vs Blue fame for example). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was also the EB Games Top Ten which as the name implies, was the ten best-selling games for say a console, multi-platform, or a different subject. As with many other shows on the network the show had previews of upcoming games such as Midtown Madness 3. I didn\u2019t know this when the show was on the air, but they had a story on Pulse about EVO 2004 which shocked me as I had no idea EVO went as far back as 2004. There was even a segment devoted to the BBS (Bulletin Board System) used in the early days of message boards on the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
