Deprodded. Only source is a YouTube upload. Couldn't find any sources. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 15:21, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

- Delete. The source find is not helped by the fact there is a much more notable twitch.tv, but other then IMDB I find nothing about the show. It's not a hoax though - most of the episodes in full are up on YouTube, and it's certainly an interesting piece of videogame history, it's just not notable. casualdejekyll 16:59, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- I was the one who felt compelled to create the topic, so I feel I should contribute to the discussion. Forgive my lack of involvement on the article; my hope was that other users might take the reins after I started it back then, but as has been said, not much information has been available online about the series since it ended. Sadly, the series was brought to a sudden end when the network folded, but it was quite popular at the time, and is historically relevant for opening up a television genre that caters to the video game industry. It was simply misfortune that caused the series to end, and thus not much information can be found about it since no other network picked it up to keep it going. Only in recent years has new material been uncovered, particularly from the series creator who posted the YouTube upload, and as casualdejekyll pointed out, most full episodes from the series were digitized from VHS and uploaded in the past year, which allowed for me to patch some longstanding gaps in the article with direct information. For added context, some citations were included regarding the ill-fated cable network and its role in the lack of source material; nonetheless, the series did exist, and the recent information came direct from the series creator, which should be reliable enough to keep the article valid, especially if new information becomes available at some later point. The fact that it took this long for something useful to be found proves my point.
- I think the article should not be deleted. RedStillRumblesNC-17 (talk) 20:53, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
