The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Game On is a game show that aired as part of G4's original 13-show line-up. It was filmed all over the country as the hosts invite people off the street to compete against each other in video games. The hosts, Randy Kagan and Matt Gallant, would choose a side and then the losing host would be humiliated (normally in public). The Game On crew included producer Don Handfield, production manager Keith Worthington, associate producer Brian Mayer, production assistant Michael Leffler, and production associate Nicki La Rosa. Game On shot fourteen episodes and then was canceled after creator and producer Don Handfield left G4 to pursue a career in film. The final episode aired on November 6, 2002.
