WoW Insider on G4's Attack of the Show tonight

Just a note to let you all know that I've been invited to be on G4's Attack of the Show this evening, at 7 and 11 pm Eastern time (so you can watch me on the show, then watch the Heroes or 24 season finales-- I'm recording both, because woot-- and then watch me again!).They've asked me to talk about Starcraft 2 and Blizzard, so I'll have some juicy tidbits about Blizzard's latest game, I'm sure, and hopefully they'll allow me some commentary about Blizzard at large and how SC2's release might affect World of Warcraft. An entry on their blog (fittingly named Attack of the Blog) says that some other dudes from some other websites may be on there as well (I've always wanted to have a friendly face-off against Crecente on live national television), but we'll see.
So if you get a chance, please check it out. And we should have embedded video up soon. That way you lucky people can revisit my visage on G4 again and again and again. Let us know if you do. Should be fun, see you tonight.

You poor things - I hope your brain survives...don't invite all your bloggers or this site will turn into nothing but blithering idiocy...oh dear, I truly fear for you.

You'll be fine, I'm sure you're the person that's best suited for the interview, since I'm sure you're the most knowledgeable blogger on Wowinsider. Just make sure to mention us Shadow Priests when you're in front of the whole nation ;)

You guys are far too nice to be WoW players. Maybe just for fun I'll get a "nerf warlocks" out there.

I doubt you'll need it, but good luck in there mate! My deadly legion of healbots and I will be rooting for you.

I agree...
You must say "nerf locks", "For the Hordeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!" and cop a feel!

Good luck, here's every Attack of the Show round-table discussion.
Kevin: "Tonight's burning issue: blank. Guy A, what do you think?"
Guy A: "I like it."
Kevin: "Guy 2?"
Guy 2: "Not so much."
Guy 1: "Interesting point, Guy 2, I-"
Kevin: "I'm sorry, we're out of time. We hit some hard issues, but it looks like the issue is up to the viewer. Commercial time!"
I'm guessing you won't get any time for a real discussion.

i hope this is on the podcast. I live in the UK so don't get g4 but i like the attack of the show podcasts.

Told ya. They totally cut Mike off to go to something about some lame indie band.

Oh and it wasn't a letdown, here's the poll results on their site:
Was the "StarCraft II" announcement a letdown?
Yes - 40.4%
No - 59.6%
Olivia made it confusing. I guess she forgot how to read a poll.

I never watch G4, but I did tonight to see Mike. He was great. The other guy was a complete dumbass who was trying way too hard to hate on SC2.
The whole mess with that poll and that braindead female host incorrectly correcting the male host -several- times made me sad for humanity.
Mike Schramm May 21st 2007 8:08PM
Aww guys I'm so sorry I totally forgot about saying "for the horde." I apologize completely-- if they ever ask me on again, I promise I'll come out yelling.
I messed up the thing about the blood elves-- meant to say Draenei, and they asked the last guy about consoles-- if you ask me, Blizzard will never put SC2 on a console-- but hopefully the rest of it went OK. Thanks for watching, those of you who did-- hopefully we'll see it online soon.

Make shure to post a Youtube link whenever you find one.
I still haven't found neither a podcast nor a youtube movie.

Talk about not giving credit where credit is due, they still haven't given you credit for appearing on the show.
From the daily AotS newsletter(e-mailed out 11 hours ago):
"On Tonight’s Loop Brian Crecente, editor for the gaming site Kotaku.com and 1up.com editor, Garnett Lee talked about StarCraft II and debated whether or not it could do for real time strategy games now what its predecessor did for them nearly ten years ago."
Brian Crecente from Kotaku? Man, they completely misspelled your name and this site.

Nice job Mike. I was excited about the announcement of Starcraft 2 as I played the original way back when but I would probably be more excited about the announcement of a WoW expansion pack. That said, I will still pick up SC2.
You also manged to make intelligent and informed points whereas Garnett Garnett seemed a bit confused by the poll. He also seemed to think that SC2 would be released on consoles when the SC2 website clearly states that the game is being developed for the PC and they have no plans to rlease it on the console.

Nice job Mike! That other guy was a real douche who didn't know wut the hell he was talking about.
@10- Yea dude Olivia is a dumbshit, she's just another pretty face. That's why G4 hired her...for her ability to read a teleprompter moderately well. It's funny too cuz she was SO convinced that people were saying they weren't excited about SC 2 when they in fact were. The other douche (Garnett or w/e his name was) was also convinced that ppl were saying the news was a letdown. Only Kevin and Mike understood the rather simple question. Those other two musta felt like Rtards after...
