G4 and Attack of the Show are no more. What’s G4 superstar Kevin Pereria been up to in the meantime? Among other things, he’s taken to Machinima with Player Vs Pain, a show about hurting people while they play videogames. Kevin created and produced the thing, and all the ingredients for p𝓰otential internet hit are there. 

It will be interesting to see how the show does from here. There is a fine line between giving people exactly what they want in “dumb fun entertainment” and making them feel pandered to and exploited. Which side of the line do you think the show falls on? What would you like to see them do more or less of in future episodes? Personally, I’d like it if that lady did the robot for five minutes and that was that, but I’m not sure I’m in the show’s target demographic.
