X-playX-Play (previously Gamespot TV and Extended Play) is a video game review television show hosted by Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb. X-Play began on TechTV, but later moved to G4 after the merger of G4 and TechTV. The show revolves around the two hosts' banter between reviews and previews of popular video games and the occasional quirky skits. Sessler has recently announced that he will relinquish his hosting position on X-Play in order to begin work on Meet the Sess, a question and answer show featuring gaming industry elite. Meet the Sess is set to launch on April 19, 2005 on G4. Trademarks The disembodied voice announcer begins each episode with an often over the top introduction to which the hosts usually respond or comment. The announcer has recently been replaced by an as-of-yet unnamed person. Candidates are currently going through an on-air vetting process. Adam Sessler occasionally says "Dik-Dik", and has been known to wear a Dik-Dik t-shirt on-air. This is a reference to the manga and video game Ultimate Muscle, which contains a character named Dik-Dik Van Dik. Sketches are sometimes shown between reviews. These sketches are related to video games or video game related topics. For example, a recent episode had a sketch about engrish, while another documented games you should never buy. Constant themes show up throughout the series. Such themes include Adam and Morgan's eternal hate for card battle games and dating sims, or the hosts' constant abuse of the interns. Sessler frequently makes remarks regarding his hatred for his own life and even suicide. External link
