AOTS builds "world's largest arcade machine"
We've never really watched much of Attack of the Show, but we hear it's hosted by some nerdy types that are somehow better looking than us -- which simply can't be correct. All that aside, those (debatably) sexy nerds have taken it upon themselves to build the world's largest arcade machine, and even invited over the Guinness Book of World Records folks to check it out on tonight's show. The arcade machine stands more than 13-feet tall, sports a 70-inch or so screen, and probably runs Doom. The show airs tonight at 7PM on G4, where hopefully they'll unveil the specs behind this bad boy.





















Why????
Why not????
those legs on the right sure do come up and make an ass of themselves. Very nice.
Agreed. If she's the sexy nerd, then she definitely beats the Engadget goons.
that would Olivia Munn, pretty much the only reason to watch G4TV besides the reruns of Arrested Development. But damn, she is sure is a hot reason to watch...
jamesf -- Please don't forget Morgan Webb! G4 has plenty of hotties, er, I mean, great shows.
I'd love to get Munned!
You guys make geeks look bad. You sound like pimply, basement-dwelling, non-girlfriend-having, nerds.
It's a picture of a girls butt in jeans, and you act like she's laying on a bed, naked, spread eagle.
What an ass on that beauty..... he must work out.

Olivia Munn bites a weiner

Wow! thats nice
"Debatable?" Are you crazy? Olivia Munn is one of the hottest nerds alive. I would do anything for her.
Butt.
I wonder if that's a licensed copy of Rampage they are playing...
I'll debate Olivia's sexiness all day. I enjoy AOTS for its nerdy injokes all by itself, but she is icing all over that cake (which is not a lie).
Mmmmm, icing all over Olivia!
standing that close to a big screen would definitely hurt my eyes lol
So scaled up that large, I'd say you'd have to use those old jumbo silver dollars for credits. Or possibly hubcaps as slugs.
why?
why not?
Maybe they were a little bored.
and felt like spend some money
that is pretty cool though
I wonder what GPU they have to have on that thing
Wouah! And Old School Rampage running on it ^^
That looks like a ton of fun, I want to try it out.
Just looks like very small people to me, I think engadget (and the source) are trying to pull one over on us.
Olivia Munn isn't the only reason to watch G4TV and AotS. There's also Layla Keighley, Kristen Holt, Morgan Webb and, for the nerdiest of us, Blair Butler. And then they also have the occasional new episode of Ninja Warrior. So that makes two shows and five girls. I think my television priorities are a bit skewed.
Am I the only one who thinks Layla Keighley is fugly?
Dylan K: yes, yes you are.
Perhaps they need to qualify that a bit more. I mean, is it bigger than Galaxian 3?

Seats 6!
dude, I remember playing that! it was enormous!
would this even be a story if the chick wasn't in the picture? wait, would the photographer even take the pic?
They're playing Rampage! That's a classic, alright! Oh yeah, that's a nice pair of jeans she's sporting.
TechTV was ruined when Paul Allen sold it.
I have such fond memories of playing Rampage on the Amiga 500.
Those are pretty big coin slots.
Apparently, they also build the world's nicest ass.
Rampage!!! I still have that on Atari Lynx. I'll take any of you on...
dude, I racked up too many hours on the commodore 64 version you're on...
Ok, I will be the first one to say it... Stupid! This is why I never watch that channel, it used to be cool back in the ZD TV days, or was that Tech TV, or is that G4, whatever.
Hey engadget, Olivia Munn is smoking...not really a fan of Morgan Webb, but Munn is pretty close to perfect!!!
Ehh, its AOTS. They did the smallest and largest NES Controllers too.
They really went downhill. I finished watching shortly after Sarah Lane and Brandon Moran got married.
Mun really is the main reason anyone still watches the show. Its to geared towards normal people now. Before it was like hard core nerdy. I mean, we had Kevin Rose, and Sarah Lane, and all the other cool people. It was pretty freaking awesome.
Doe's it take Notes, or coins?
Them slots are huge!
Everyone on G4TV should do their shows on step ladders so they aren't blocked by the "Interactive 2.0" bs they plaster everywhere.
i would tear that up
Obligatory "will it blend?"
Actually I must say that AOTS is surprisingly well cast... The guy (Kevin) is genuinely witty and has a Seacrest-like charisma. I'm sure his career is on an up-tick.
Olivia, aside from being very attractive and always showing cleavage (god bless her heart), is also very well spoken and goes along with just about everything with a smile.
The feed-segment girl (Layla) is best kept right there with 30 second news-bursts... very pretty but not so comfortable with impromptu dialog. I haven't seen enough Kristen Holt to comment on her professionalism but she can dial-it-up to nine kinds of smoking hot. (Edit, make that 10 kinds.)
um....wasn't Mr. Rojas a guest host on AOTS a couple years back? Answer: yes, yes he was.

Frankly I think the comments here about asses pretty much sums up the appropriate overall description of the posters who made the comments. I thought perhaps the average IQ of an Engadget reader was above 65 but then I'm an optimist I suppose. I actually thought a show that did TV reviews of pretty much the same kind of products engadget does, albeit not as extensive due to time and cost constraints, would actually appeal to some of you but then I suppose I also have to take into account the forum trolls who prefer to drop one liner obnoxious comments everywhere that will let them simply because they have no other life. Probably stopped in to give their fingers a rest from WOW or whatever porn site they normally spend time on
hey dork just because some of use like hot young girls asses does not make us dorks. you sound like a load of fun! i bet your wife/hand/girlfriend has a great ass? not! that bitchs ass is money, so deal with it and also deal with not ever banging something like that.
You realize that you made this post at 11:22pm on a Friday night???? I'm not saying your right or wrong......just an observation. Ironically enough, my constant use of porn and abusing myself has left my vision in decent shape.
Anyway, this thing makes me wanna bust out an emulator and go play Rampage. Been years.
nice ass on that one...
Thanks for the insightful and intelligent commentary Gage, I am sure to treasure your words of wisdom.
not a problem, go wack it
...or, on the other hand, Patchee-boy (or girl), maybe we trolls don't have the time to spend on constructing long-winded, spell-checked replies to a lighthearted, trivial posts about things like giant arcade machines. Perhaps we all should have given pause to the socio-economic effects of constructing such a machine or to the plight of dear Ms. Mun?
btw: Olivia Mun has a greeaatt ass! I have a joystick she can play with. There I'm a troll, you putz.
was this from the set of Willy Wonka?
But will it run...
Oh.
I feel so redundant.
I'm not trying to be redundant or anything, but I just can't over how hot she is. I haven't watched G4 since it was called TechTV and The Screen Savers were on, so I had no idea there were babes on that channel.
AOTS is a good show, and genuinely funny. They cover a lot of great gaming news... what other show on tv can say that (other than g4's Xplay) ? It's a great show to tivo, so you can skip all the teasers and watch 30 minutes of the good stuff.
all you self-righteous "I will never watch G4 after the screen savers" guys should get over yourselves.
g4 has just changed a lot, like the gaming scene has;
it's all geared pretty much at non-nerds. like hwne oyu go to a halo 3 release you're surrounded by frat boys, or 13 year olds with their moms that don't really know anything about their consoles or the innards of them.
i don't watch g4 because it's like watching john madden talk about football; he doesn't tell you anything that a 4 year old probably doesn't already know, whether they are familiar with it or not.
i guess, i just enjoyed it when it wasn't so... basic.
i'm not against hot chicks, and i do think that the girls are total babes. but, even as a lesbian, i'm not willing to watch a channel just for that, when they dumb everything down so much.
I love how this thread ended up being about mostly about hot asses and sexism rather than about how hot the machine is, considering that there are at least FOUR FANS in the guts, judging by that pic...I wonder if that's enough.
I don't have a tv, but I would watch this if the show were about building the machine rather than just sorta playing it for a minute...I guess I'll go on YouTube in a while and see if I can find a clip.
Frankly, if this show is modeled at all on most videogame marketing, I'm not surprised they put supposedly pretty, supposedly geeky chicks on there. I will say this, no matter how nice your ass supposedly is (I admit I like breasts more), you look really lame when you clip your cellphone or your Lavalier powerpack right over it. Or maybe its a Crackberry. How appropriate that would be...
So who's gonna be the first to fall off the step stool, bust their jaw, and sue?
Can you IMAGINE the coins needed to drive those things? I mean look at the loader! It's HUGE!
It runs Windows XP, uses a 5K lumin DLP projector, everything works on it, and it accepts massive sized coins that they also made to scale. It also uses a liscensend program that runs on XP and plays I think 150 arcade games.
It's made to be an up-scaled replica of an origional arcade machine, so that other machine someone posted wouldn't count.
Oh and yes olivia has a nice ass!
I feel ashamed of all these people here defending G4TV and AOTS. Nobody should watch any programming on that channel after the useless transformation from the buyout of TechTV to G4tv. I sure love programming that panders to 12 year-old boys and 20something guys in a market already saturated by this crap. Give me back my RELEVANT tech info channel. Damn.
Any news about AOTS or G4TV is horrible unless it includes "cancelled/shut down forever." That would be the best victory for the late-TechTV.
Who the hell cares about Olivia Munn anyhow? Heck, Cat Schwartz and Morgan Webb should be up there. Where's Leo and Patrick? Gaaah..
It's a sad day when nobody remembers/knows of TechTV's legacy.
We have the internet for relevant info, and it has already proven immeasurably more useful for that purpose. We have TV for moving pictures and sounds. Seems to me like this one is in the bag.
loving that butt doesnt make anybody a nerd
