After three years of strenuous beta testing, 22 host auditions, $73 million dollars of R&D, and an endless parade of (mostly) merit-less lawsuits...The G4tv.com Nerd Army is proud to announce the pilot episode of our new weekly show, TheFeed Nightcap! Packed with 30 minutes of fast-talkin' game discussion, CG explosions, and murder mystery, Nightcap is coming to you (regularly) on Thursdays, and only on G4tv.com.

In our debut episode…

  • Billy "Couches are Awesome" Berghammer eats some crow over our Game of the Week, Wii Sports Resort
  • We pontificate on the recent game delays to 2010
  • We attempt to answer our reader question: "What's the future of handheld gaming?"
  • Patrick and Sterling recount their Comic-Con adventures
  • I wrestle an alligator, live in the studio!

Most of these things actually happened, and you can watch for yourself right here. Be sure to keep track of our shenanigans -- and propose reader questions -- on Twitter via @g4tv and @TheFeed. We also welcome your feedback on the show in the comments below. Not feeling a particular segment? Want us to do more? Too much usage of the Present Perfect Progressive tense? Ask and it's possible ye shall receive.

    This is what I like from G4. Latley, all there on this station is sex and I'm just sick of it. Thank you, Billy for keeping it real for all those who are interested in the game biz and are really interested in just the overall outcome of we expect from games of all types.

    I hope to see more of this, that's all. Keep it up.

    I love the insight of the hosts and the 30 minute length of the show but for god sakes, the camera work is nauseating. Please stop panning into the host's hand gestures, I much rather see their faces and their expressions when they talk.

    I will be tuning in to the next show, good work fellas! =D

    Good insight and I enjoyed it, my only comment would be that I don't know if I'll be able to keep up with 30 minutes of video on a weekly basis. It's a little on the long side for my taste but you did have enough to talk about this week that it warranted a 30 minute video. Sweet stuff guys

    I thought it was pretty cool. I was able to put a voice with the blog post. Even though it wasn't the posters I'm really used to, It was a cool experience. Keep up the good work.


    As a long time reader, I approve.

    Once the rest of you Nimrods get past the camera guy who seemingly drank a bottle johnny walker before the taping - you'll SEE the real value of the show is the thorough knowledge of this panel.

    Not only did the panel give a good overview of this years gaming breakdown, they actually had suggestions that would help the distribution of QUALITY games. By exposing this knowledge to YOU - the consumers and key demographic of this market - they created awareness to why companies push back launch dates. Having the opportunity to watch this show can create the desire for consumers to purchase games that are of the best quality - which pushes companies to create more new and desirable games on a quicker turnaround.

    My only grip is offering a free motion plus controller to all Wii owners...this just isn't a feasible solution considering the overhead Nintendo would incur to do this - thus stunting their new game development.

    Overall, good show - keep it up guys and I look forward to the next one.

    I really enjoyed the topics thrown around in this video and I love the ideas and opinions brought regarding Nintendo and how the new Wii Sports should be token as a steeping stone for greater creations. This reminds me a lot of the Rooster Teeth "Drunk Tank" Podcast and I would also like to see a audio only version released with the video only so there would be an option for people who don't want to buffer a half hour of video. With that said, good job guy's and I'm looking forward for next week!

    Yeah.. the camera guys needs some more practice with zooming and movement. But it's pretty good for a pilot episode
