And Hopefully when it starts it will keep on showing anime when the other series' have finished and not turn into a totally different channel. (Like Games Network, they used to show only gaming shows now they show stuff like Grab a Grand, or some porn thing everyday for like 5 hours -.-).

There was a time when Game Network was a pretty OK channel but its absolutely crap now. Its a shame really.

Myself, I think that Games Network was awful all along, remember those terrible MMORPGs they used to plug like it was the second coming of Gordon Freeman? Legend of Mirr/Myth of Soma they where called, but I never bothered playing them. It's just that when I was younger, the channel didn't seem so completely bad. Then, when after not seeing the channel for ages and I returned to it, it seemed terrible, with about 2 minutes of gaming coverage, 20 seconds of that being of any importance whatsoever, the rest being Italien advert breaks, clips of random average games, the "games guru" and various text-in sections done by Italians with a miniscule grasp of the english language. Plus, they started showing some sort of disgusting light p0rn show from about 6:30pm, which begs the question why Games Network could easily work through Sky when Rapture are having such trouble. Surely Games Network's quality of content is abysmal?

...perhaps I should have broke down that paragraph ^_^.

Games Network was hilariously bad, it was the type of channel that if I watched for to long my eyes would close involenterily to shut out the horror I was subjecting myself too. I found the Legend Of Mirr/Myth Of Soma programs to be hilarious as I'd never even heard of the games till I saw them on the channel, and they would usually spend 10 minuites trying to show you something in the game, and have to give up due to lag.
 
Yeah, and they used to have the video game clips put to music that jusst didnt fit like Iron Maiden or something :lol: (and dont forget about the italian adverts)

I remember some really hilarious ads. Oh look, let's play Mario to thrash metal!

Games Network went a long way to prove that while playing games is fun, watching someone else play them generally isn't.

Very true.

I can't stand the whole section of channels which string from Game Network and continuing on towards the movie channles. Each of them features some extremely dull and stupid way of wasting money by texting the answer to a ridiculesly easy question. And then of course in the evening you get all those crappy texting p0rno shows which are on abpout every one of those channels.
