Part 3 of the 3-part web file dump of early video content posted on both the TechTV and G4TV websites (with maybe one or two ZDTV web files for flavor). This concludes all the archived videos I was able to salvage that were imported over to G4TV.com website as part of their short-lived TechTV Vault, with a couple from the merger tossed in as well.
The first 14 minutes are holdovers from 2001 (or so), but once you get past that you'll hit the tail end of Extended Play in early 2003 and the first year (PLUS) of X-Play from 2003 and 2004. So all you folks who've been asking for videos of the early EARLY era of X-Play that I wasn't able to record back in the day, you can check out a lot of clips from that period in THIS upload. I've also added a couple other videos from the G4TechTV era website at the tail end of this collection and some E3 web journal videos from the official X-Play Moblog.
380+ individual video files in total. Almost all files were downloaded in June 2004.
Now that you've made it this far, I'd like to remind everyone once again that I don't monetize these uploads; however, if you feel like contributing a donation toward something of value, you may wish to consider doing so for 'ComicBooks for Kids,' (CB4K) a 501 (c) (3) charity designed to provide child-friendly comic books to children in hospitals and cancer centers across the U.S. (and parts of Canada). If you feel like making a donation, you may do so at the following page: comicbooksforkids.org/donate
And while you're at it, feel free to type "Omnidog's Vault" in the comment/memo section with your donation, so that my online pal Jess, from Omnidog's Vault, can blow away his donation goal heading into 2026.
You can check out more about this cause from his brief video here: youtube.com/watch?v=Wo99oOu8BK8 --Pay no attention to the fact that his own donation drive already happened a week and a half ago, you CAN still donate, continuously, until the end of time... or such moment when an asteroid crashes into the planet and obliterates us all. And when all is done here, you can check out HIS stream here: youtube.com/watch?v=zQKF9t3OlTg

![Men In Black - Behind the Shades (Making Of... Special)
This was a special presentation that aired on The Sci-Fi Channel back in 1997. I uploaded this earlier in the year and it seemed to have a worldwide block on it for reasons, but that block seems to have now been lifted somehow... so... yeah.
Lucky, you, internet.
I also uploaded a video with screenwriter Ed Solomon (of The Bill & Ted franchise, Now You See Me 1 & 2, Super Mario Bros. The Movie, [uncredited] X-Men movie fame), talking about stuff a few years ago... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8XwHe-ZvkA
Fun fact... Men in Black was created by Lowell Cunningham for Aircel Comics. Aircel would later merge with Eternity Comics, a subdivision of Malibu Comics. Some people will tell you that Marvel Comics acquired Malibu for their advanced computer coloring methods and other will say it was to defensive strategy to prevent DC Comics from acquiring them and gaining a dominant share of the comic book market.
Either way, by the time the movie wrapped production, Men in Black was under the ownership of Marvel and the original movie credits indicated that the movie was based on the Malibu and Marvel comic. The credits have since been updated to reflect solely Marvel.
Also, Marvel hasnt released a new Malibu comic in over 2.5 decades. Men In Black - Behind the Shades (Making Of... Special)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/h0XMMIWP5Rs/mqdefault.jpg)

![G4s Icons / Game Makers 107a - EverQuest [Revised Version]
On tonights episode of Game Makers (ICONS), we take a look back at the Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game EverQuest and bonus content with EverQuest II.
Be advised the original version of this episode aired on 07.07.02; however, this was a NEW version that G4 created in 2005, after the release EverQuest II, featuring edited footage and graphics not seen in the original airing, along with all new end-of-episode commentary.
If you are interested in watching the original episode, other channels have uploaded that version to Youtube.
NOTE - Although an original G4 launch series, prior to the fifth season of Icons it was re-tooled for a more broader audience, moving away from video games to instead focus on celebrities and pop-culture *icons.* The previous four seasons were then rebranded as Game Makers to distance them from the new image and viewership G4 was aiming for.
It did not work.
The new iteration, much like the ill-fated reboot of Filter, was abandoned and the series was cancelled after a single season; however, edited episodes of the original four seasons continued to air sporadically through the summer of 2008.
This is one of those episodes, recorded in 2006 (with commercials).
