G4 and Adam Sessler Part Ways
Posted on April 26, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards
Longtime host of X-Play and Editor and Chief at G4 Media, Adam Sessler, has parted ways with the company according to his spokesperson. Sessler is arguably one of the most recognizable names and faces in the industry.
Over his 14 year career with G4 he has hosted two different incarnations of X-Play (originally titled Extended Play until sometime in the 2000s) and pioneered a popular VLog series called Sessler’s Soapbox where he provides his raw unscripted opinion on the news of the day.
2012 has been a year of change for the gaming journalism landscape. The formation of Verge brought together names like former Kotaku EIC Brian Crecent and Joshua Topolsky from Gizmodo. Sessler’s departure from G4 Media is yet another name to add to the long list of industry shuffles.

Paradox CEO hosting a live stream demo of Warlock today
Posted on April 26, 2012 by Daniel Shannon
Fredrik Wester, the fun loving CEO of Paradox Interactive, will host a live streaming demo of Warlock: Master of the Arcane today. My understanding is that Warlock is a bit like Civilization V, except with Warlocks mixed in, as well as the types of things that spell casters tend to attract (fireballs, vampires, the Spanish inquisition, etc). If you are curious about this upcoming empire builder, then check out the live stream at this link. The demonstration will take place at 11am PDT / 8pm CEST.
In the meantime, you can watch a trailer for the game after the jump.
