Me on G4TV Attack of the Show - this time they were able to mention the URL ^^;


And thanks to Joseph for finding the original high res video at Attack of the Show.
Looks like they didn't know that I was Vader too ^^;

Original text from FMPhoenixHawk below.

As part of their "What's up in Japan" segment today, they covered the site and a few other things, but mostly Dancing Stormtrooper footage. It's short, but neat. Welcome to American fame, Danny! Your starlet should be in the mail soon.

Pic is one of the times I'd like to be in the armor. Or maybe just in the shot, sans armor.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

    While its nice your getting American attention I don't count G4Tv what it used to be. *sigh* what happened to tech tv, the screensavers, etc; the days when you could actually learn something useful about computers. The only show I still watch is x-play. I used to watch attack of the show but I think its kinda turned shallow.

    It was like a mini bio' on the show, your site summed up in a 30-45 second blurb.

    Congrats', Danny.

    Congratulations on the TV exposure. I really hope I'm being overly cynical here, but...Wouldn't the American exposure increase the amount of hate mail you receive?

        That is true. Really, I watch G4 for XPlay, Ninja Warrior and Unbeatable Banzuke. I watch AOTS at times because there's little on at 7 PM Eastern.

    Meh, I do not like G4, but great that you made some coverage! (they need to pronounce things correctly, they butchered some of the names). I have an entire post on G4 over on my blog- over time it is one of those things that just degraded with time.

    I didn't have G4 back when this aired, but now I do, so maybe I'll be able to catch bits of this segment when Attack of the Show has their 1000th episode special coming up July 9 :P
