Scott The Woz (TV series) (2024)

Scott The Woz was announced to have select episodes syndicated to air on an (at the time) unknown television network at Scott Wozniak’s TooManyGames 2021 panel on October 9, 2021. Reruns began airing on December 7, 2021 on the television network G4.^[1] Episodes were one hour long (including commercials) and consist of four segments. On March 7, 2022, these episodes were also made available on G4's Pluto TV channel, G4 Select.^[2]

The reruns included a new intro containing footage from different episodes such as Borderline Forever and It's Awesome Baby. Animation was done by Emily Wolver, and a new intro theme was composed by Garrett Williamson. Breakout was replaced with a reprise of the intro theme for the reruns.

On October 16, 2022, it was announced that G4 was pulling it's plug for the second time^[3], likely ending the Scott The Woz TV reruns in the process.

Episodes[]

Notable Changes from Original Episodes[]

General Changes[]

• Some game footage is blurred out.
• Most (but not all) of the copyrighted music is replaced with new music. Breakout is replaced by the original track made for the show's intro.
• A lot of the swearing in each episode is now uncensored, though this is fairly inconsistent in its execution.
• Swearing uses a different bleep sound.
• Sound effects for things multiplying and stretching have been changed.

Plug and Play Games[]

Cut Lines:

• 03:44:28 - "Because this was a dedicated device, they were able to replicate the original 2600 joystick, so playing this really does feel like you're actually playing Atari."

• 08:56:18 - "This feels.. SO much better than the original Atari one. I mean, I love playing Pong and Breakout with this thing, but controlling them was a bit stiff."

Pre-Orders[]

• During the scene where Scott was waiting for his special edition of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U to arrive, the door knocking sound is absent.
• Generic footage is used in place of The Avengers game.

Cut Lines:

No lines were cut from Pre-Orders.

Third Party Controllers[]

Cut Lines:

• 03:57:01 - "What is up with the C button? I don't know how easy it is to see, but it is significantly stiffer than all the other buttons."

• 05:33:12 - "The controller works... but that's all it really does- it's totally just for people who needed that one extra controller for multiplayer."

The Games That Time Forgot[]

• The notification sound in the end gag was changed.

Cut Lines:

• 00:36:09 - "2010 was a crazy pro-elite, anti-live time."

• 01:23:21 - "Download Play was also used to issue demos to players. The main way I remember this was through the Wii- you could boot up the Nintendo channel and download demos for DS games to your DS."

• 06:15:01 - "This one's a bit of an odd bugger- you know the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games games, right? Everybody's favorites. Well, the winter variant on the Wii and DS received a mobile phone version called Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games... only featuring Sonic characters. It's been taken down and we don't have a way to play it anymore, how unfortunate - I always wanted to play curling as Vector the crocodile on my phone- holy sh*t- I need to work on my life goals."

Mobile Games on Console[]

Cut Lines:

• 04:56:43 - "Do you really have a favorite stage in the game? Can you tell the difference between ears of corn? Because if you give me a bonus ear of corn, I'm not gonna be like "Oh my God- a NEW corn?!". No- it's just- "Okay- it's just another ear of corn for me to eat!""

• 15:31:16 - "'Football Manager Touch'- yeah- the stripped down, mobile version of Football Manager - Xbox got a version made specifically for it titled 'Xbox Edition'; The Nintendo Switch... they're not even trying to hide it."

Cross Generation Games[]

Cut Lines:

• 03:49:00 - "This game released on every major system from the sixth generation and every major system for the seventh generation and really- they didn't have to. I think the original Xbox version was nearly canned but GameStop nabbed it as a store exclusive. Well... now you gotta go."

• 09:24:14 - "This was probably released on last-gen platforms due to the first part of the MGS 5 experience releasing on them as well; Ground Zeroes. At least that released in early 2014 only a few months into the new console's life so it felt more warranted."

• 14:13:25 - "But still, at that point, why not put Final Fronts on the Wii as well or port it to the PSP? They put all this development time into a version that JUST released on the Playstation 2!"

• 16:02:16 - "It's sorta neat to see the Wii U GamePad show up in the menus instead of Switch controllers."

Special Edition Controllers[]

• During the scene where Scott mentions Aerith in Final Fantasy VII, the buzzer sound was replaced with an airhorn sound, and the "SPOILER!" text is omitted.
• A rendering issue present in the original version of the episode during the scene where Rex walks towards Jeb lying dead on the stairs was fixed.

Game Show Games[]

Cut Lines:

• 01:34:27 - "Jeopardy is your typical trivia game show but it's BACKWARDS! It took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize the questions being asked here are actually answers and your answers are actually questions. That's why the contestants always say 'what is' and 'who is' before their answer. It's a good thing I learned that before going on a different game show for the second time."

• 06:16:04 - "'What does a woman say when a man proposes?' I'll think about it? Ask again later? I don't know, can you? I'm busy this weekend? Who are you?"

• 06:39:20 - "'Another name for an asphalt road surface?' Road. 'This special bike has only one wheel.' A really bad car. 'This is the president's home.' ...America."

• 07:50:28 - "'Who ran for president?' Uh- didn't Becky run? Oh- my buddy, Ed! He definit- ...Me. I would like to announce; I am-"

• 08:23:14 - "And the digitized speech is just here to put a blurb on the label. It's not like they read the questions to you - it all just adds up to Larry Jeopardy being the best one."

• 09:28:01 - "'Name an entertainer who ha'. Dilbert- he's hilarious. Oh. Oh- 'name an entertainer who has been around for as long as you can remember' ...Yea- Dilbert. ...Circuit City. ...F*ck."

• 10:05:07 - "'If you don't know what this Greek sea god also created the horse, say "neigh"'. ...What was I supposed to say?!"

• 10:20:22 - "Alright- guys named Gary for 800. ...Uh... Bob Saget. Oh- damn, yeah, that's right- guys named Gary. Gary Bob Saget."

• 10:48:03 - "'Name a place where people wear white'. Me. 'Name a nursery rhyme that has 'old' in it.' Holdy Bible. 'Name something Y'. Why? 'Name something'. Okay. Oh- 'name something people buy second hand.' ..Okay."

• 11:40:23 - "I prefer the lazier, not-original look of the Wii games because they look like the shows. Nobody cares about Jeopardy Switch's feelings."

Lost in Localization[]

• The chorus effect for the line "Gay conversion therapy!" is missing.

Cut Lines:

• 07:12:11 - "But the PS4 and Vita are region-free - thank God."

• 08:06:03 - "The Japanese version of The Legend of Zelda Four Swords Adventures featured a mode only in that version called 'Navi Trackers'. There's nothing specifically wrong with this mode, it's just.. only in the Japanese version."

Value Pack Games[]

Cut Lines:

• 02:57:18 - "Again, this was only available in NES console bundles and specifically console bundles that included the Zapper and Power Pad accessories."

• 08:57:10 - "This was the era of licensed kids games. Pretty much with every movie, every cartoon, a video game adaptation would follow, and making those types of games for the Game Boy Advance just made sense."

• 12:02:00 - "It always bugged me they didn't combine these two titles."

• 12:09:04 - "Like, it would have been cool to have all the games a part of the same menu interface like what they did with Super Mario World and Super Mario All-Stars."

Demakes[]

Cut Lines:

• 09:39:07 - "These were like the coolest items at an antique mall. Absolutely jaw-dropping but you couldn't pay me to lick 'em."

• 09:49:09 - "Were you really expecting to pop GTA 2 into your Game Boy Color and be enthralled? No- this game was created with the intent of people saying "Grand Theft Auto on Game Boy Color?" and nothing more."

• 10:51:09 - "See, while I would've loved to try Silent Hill on Game Boy Advance.. we know it would've stunk."

Nintendo 64: Nintendo's Best Mistake[]

• 07:08:26 - "So, yeah. The Nintendo 64 HAD third-party support.. but not a lot of it. The biggest third-party games that released that generation.. there was a really good chance they did NOT come out on Nintendo 64."

• 13:43:28 - "There were so many more variables here that let the player be creative; you don't just go left or right, you have 360 different directions you can go in."

• 16:18:21 - "And while it doesn't appeal to everybody, it definitely has a huge fanbase and.. hey- we got two fully 3D Zelda titles on the same system - that's not a bad deal."

• 17:11:01 - "Oh, Donkey Kong 64 - it was really cool to see all these game series make the jump to 3D, even if it was Donkey Kong 64."

Game Foods[]

• 04:39:27 - "Super Star candies in a Star, cherry sours in a Mushroom, Coin candies in a Question Mark Block - there are tons of these candy tins and they all feature kinda chalky.. tiny candies that have.. very, very subtle flavors to them and aren't.. really that tasty."

• 06:45:23 - "I saw this Reese's Snack Mix and it kind of invokes some of what the PB&J and s'mores was. And I just kinda looked at the peanut butter nuggets on the bag and said "Eh.. close enough". And then it turned out these things were basically peanut M&Ms. ...Damn."

Game of the Year Throughout the Years[]

Cut Lines:

• 06:22:02 - "Sure, millions upon millions of people were enjoying the game and fun is what video games are all about, but... it wasn't officially released."

• 08:24:07 - "At least for the foreseeable future."

• 09:05:17 - "Seriously, I hope you understand - sometimes.. I just don't play a lot o' the biggest games each year, and sometimes I do. I generally play a lot o' games a few years after they release, and I really don't know why I take pride in being tardy to the party with a lot o' these games. I just started playing Yo NOID a whole 29 years after it released, so I'll tell you what I think about Fallout 4 in 2044."

• 11:59:14 - "I'm perfectly fine with it being just a linear obstacle course game.. I'm just sayin'- this, this, and this.. look and are way more compelling and interesting than this. Mario 3D World is still a fun Mario game, it's just not much more than that."

• 14:08:19 - "The Last of Us and Bioshock Infinite have great plots but I just don't wanna replay The Last of Us and Bioshock's gameplay isn't the most consistently enjoyable thing out there."

• 17:48:28 - "Punch-Out brought back so much from the franchise's past and plopped it into a game that looks fantastic and plays even better. But it's definitely a shame it plays it crazy safe and doesn't throw a lot new out there.''

Game Boy Color: It Just Sorta Happened[]

Cut Lines:

• 12:53:17 - "Nintendo always does this thing where they make the definitive version of one of their games.. but it would have, like, one massive downside. It happens every time. Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D; it includes brand-new content, a new difficulty mode, it gets rid o' the motion controls from the Wii version, it doesn't look as nice, it runs at half the framerate - come.. ON!"

• 13:32:03 - "I'd say give them a shot purely based on the fact that they are exactly what you don't expect a Mario Sports game to be. Like.. who are these people?"

The Fall and Rise of 2D Gaming[]

Cut Lines:

• 06:41:40 - "Though, with everything I said earlier about handhelds were home to the 'lesser experiences'.. it made 2D gaming feel.. unimportant. If any generation made this style feel like just a.. 'simple stepping stone to 3D', it was this one. I mean, previously you got games like Castlevania Symphony of the Night on PlayStation, but if you wanted games like that in the following generation, ya had to play it on the Game Boy Advance because the type of Castlevania game you got on consoles during that era.. was this. 2D games were relegated to the Game Boy Advance because that's all it could realistically do and with these games being cheaper, smaller titles on weaker hardware.. 2D was seen as inherently worth less than 3D."

Wii Channels[]

Cut Lines:

• 02:09:25 - [Scott reading a pamphlet that says "So You May Have Schizophrenia..." and saying "Oh."]

• 05:28:09 - "You can start with a look-alike face.. I don't know anybody who did this. Yeah, you can put together the face o' your dreams; you can make real-life people, real-life fake people, or none o' the above. One o' the most fun things to do is to pick a word and make a Mii out of it."

Instruction Manuals[]

Cut Lines:

• 05:46:12 - "Even when they did stuff like rerelease GameCube games on the Wii via the New Play Controls series.. they completely redid all the manuals. They could've just changed up the control layout page and bada-boom - they're done. But no, they pretty much made new ones from scratch. But they didn't retain this page from the original Pikmin manual. C'mon."

Game Controllers[]

Cut Lines:

• 08:28:15 - "Weirdly enough, with the release of the Super Nintendo Classic Edition in 2017.. Nintendo rereleased a new version of the controller with a less glossy, rougher type of plastic for the controller shell.. and I gotta say - I actually prefer the new release- it.. just feels a bit better in my opinion."

False Advertising[]

• The fast zoom-out at the end (which results in a flashing effect) was removed.

Cut Lines:

• 06:15:08 - "Where you watch a Fruit Gushers commercial as a kid and in those, whenever somebody ate one, their entire head would turn into a giant fruit so you never ate one for years out of fear and one day you decided.. life is hell anyways." "...Son of a bitch!"

• 07:27:01 - "It's crazy how far these studios will go to mask a title's true identity, which- to be fair- I'm sure they WANTED Aliens to end up looking like this."

• 07:48:02 - "But even then - the graphical downgrade isn't merely due to the consoles- it affected the PC version as well and overall everything was just lower quality."

Console Gaming on the Go[]

Cut Lines:

• 05:43:28 - "Sure, as a kid I always had the desire to play my GameCube games on a road trip rather than my DS games."

Game & Watch[]

Cut Lines:

• 07:44:25 - "I, of course, have Ball- the first one ever released. Though, this was the 2011 reissue Club Nintendo offered to its members. It's VERY close to the original but has some altered info on the back and the option to turn the sound off. That same businessman on the train would be blaring this for everybody to hear. Mario's Cement Factory with the original box! Yeah- this looks like the last owner had more fun stepping on the box than playing the game."

Tech Demos[]

Cut Lines:

• 03:03:06 - "After you see the rest o' the tech demos we'll be looking at.. you can't look at this one and say "That just looks like a tech demo.""

• 03:16:26 - "The director of the original Final Fantasy 7 defended the decision on making the tech demo nine years later in 2014 by saying that it was the right thing to do at the time."

• 05:22:02 - "Basically, you could talk to a video game character and he'd talk right back, effortlessly. ..Maybe a little too effortlessly."

• 06:22:20 - "Really, the developers could've only programmed the amount of interactivity we saw in the video - like, Milo would only be able to respond to this specific thing said by that woman and we wouldn't know any better."

• 09:39:13 - "It was constantly stated to be more than just a tech demo and it would eventually become a full game.. but I can't look at 128 Marios runnin' around and immediately state "Yeah- that's a game.""

Trivia[]

• In the original airing of 104, Game Show Games was mysteriously skipped; as a result, Lost in Localization was aired twice.

• Scott Wozniak originally planned to re-announce Scott The Woz's television debut at TooManyGames 2022, but decided against it out of fears it wouldn't have a similar impact.
