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????

[Shawn @ Nov 9th 2007 11:28PM]

Why not????

[Andy @ Nov 9th 2007 6:20PM]

those legs on the right sure do come up and make an ass of themselves. Very nice.

[Preston @ Nov 9th 2007 6:21PM]

Agreed. If she's the sexy nerd, then she definitely beats the Engadget goons.

[jamesf @ Nov 9th 2007 6:30PM]

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...

[letstakeawalk @ Nov 9th 2007 7:27PM]

jamesf -- Please don't forget Morgan Webb! G4 has plenty of hotties, er, I mean, great shows.

[Mickey Jones @ Nov 9th 2007 8:43PM]

I'd love to get Munned!

[LegendZ28 @ Nov 9th 2007 8:46PM]

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.

[Rjay @ Nov 9th 2007 8:58PM]

What an ass on that beauty..... he must work out.

Wow! thats nice

[JuggleNuts @ Nov 9th 2007 6:27PM]

Butt.

[Brendan @ Nov 9th 2007 6:35PM]

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).

[Preston @ Nov 9th 2007 6:42PM]

Mmmmm, icing all over Olivia!

[buttabean @ Nov 9th 2007 6:37PM]

standing that close to a big screen would definitely hurt my eyes lol

[jwtrooper @ Nov 9th 2007 6:39PM]

I wonder if that's a licensed copy of Rampage they are playing...

[Toadlet @ Nov 9th 2007 6:44PM]

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.

[applefreak @ Nov 9th 2007 6:44PM]

why?

[ty @ Nov 9th 2007 6:52PM]

why not?

Maybe they were a little bored.

[applefreak @ Nov 10th 2007 1:26PM]

and felt like spend some money
that is pretty cool though
I wonder what GPU they have to have on that thing

[Reader @ Nov 9th 2007 6:47PM]

That looks like a ton of fun, I want to try it out.

[matBot @ Nov 9th 2007 6:57PM]

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.

[Dylan K @ Nov 9th 2007 10:15PM]

Am I the only one who thinks Layla Keighley is fugly?

[TestSubject86 @ Nov 10th 2007 6:19AM]

Dylan K: yes, yes you are.

[Jerry @ Nov 9th 2007 7:00PM]

Perhaps they need to qualify that a bit more. I mean, is it bigger than Galaxian 3?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxian_3

Seats 6!

[CharlieX @ Nov 9th 2007 7:46PM]

dude, I remember playing that! it was enormous!

[Randy @ Nov 9th 2007 7:10PM]

would this even be a story if the chick wasn't in the picture? wait, would the photographer even take the pic?

[Dimplemonkey @ Nov 9th 2007 7:14PM]

They're playing Rampage! That's a classic, alright! Oh yeah, that's a nice pair of jeans she's sporting.

[Travis @ Nov 9th 2007 7:16PM]

TechTV was ruined when Paul Allen sold it.

[Marshall @ Nov 9th 2007 7:27PM]

I have such fond memories of playing Rampage on the Amiga 500.

Those are pretty big coin slots.

[Dustin Stone @ Nov 9th 2007 7:46PM]

Apparently, they also build the world's nicest ass.

[Aaron Goldman @ Nov 9th 2007 7:49PM]

Rampage!!! I still have that on Atari Lynx. I'll take any of you on...

[dj-kenpo @ Nov 10th 2007 12:42AM]

dude, I racked up too many hours on the commodore 64 version you're on...

[stagueve @ Nov 9th 2007 7:50PM]

Wouah! And Old School Rampage running on it ^^

[kuade @ Nov 9th 2007 8:00PM]

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.

[David W. @ Nov 9th 2007 8:52PM]

Hey engadget, Olivia Munn is smoking...not really a fan of Morgan Webb, but Munn is pretty close to perfect!!!

[Joshua Walters @ Nov 9th 2007 9:00PM]

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.

[RaveN @ Nov 9th 2007 9:01PM]

Doe's it take Notes, or coins?
Them slots are huge!

[Waruwaru @ Nov 9th 2007 9:29PM]

Everyone on G4TV should do their shows on step ladders so they aren't blocked by the "Interactive 2.0" bs they plaster everywhere.

[gage @ Nov 9th 2007 9:53PM]

i would tear that up

[Donald @ Nov 9th 2007 9:59PM]

Obligatory "will it blend?"

[SISK3L @ Nov 9th 2007 10:54PM]

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.)

[Louis @ Nov 9th 2007 11:18PM]

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

[gage @ Nov 9th 2007 11:25PM]

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.

[Etrigan @ Nov 10th 2007 8:02PM]

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.

[SimbaDogg @ Dec 17th 2007 3:03AM]

nice ass on that one...

[Patch @ Nov 9th 2007 11:37PM]

Thanks for the insightful and intelligent commentary Gage, I am sure to treasure your words of wisdom.

[gage @ Nov 10th 2007 12:05AM]

not a problem, go wack it
