Back in the day, I would look forward to watching X-Play, aka Gamespot TV, aka Extended Play. Before Morgan Web, Lauren Fielder was the co-host of the future old man goblin, Adam Sessler. Fielder was that hidden/undercover goth girl. I kind of had a crush on her. Not sure what she is doing today. There is little to nothing about her.
I was into the show more when it was Extended Play and sort of dropped out when it became X-Play. But I remember it under its newer name. Kate Botello was the other female co-host before Web. Like Web and Sessler, Botello turned out to have a good career in various things. Hey, at least she is not spending her entire free time snarling at Internet trolls like Adam. Keep in mind that Adam Sessler is a millionaire, and yet he spends his time yelling at trolls on social media.
Before the new G4 ruined the old one. It is good to look back at a video game show with fond memories. This video essay does a great job of “bringing back those memories”.
Side Note: You can always tell which era of the show you're watching by Sessler's hairline. It is like counting the rings in a tree stump. The further back it was, or the lack of it, the meaner and bitter he was.
