Works Cited
- "Arena." TV Show. Web.
<http://www.tv-rage.com/arena>.
This site contains all major important information in terms of all three seasons of the show, except for the ratings for each episode. The information on this site is already organized perfectly and has also given me some great ideas as to how I would like my page to look once appropriately finished. I feel as if I could get all information about the show’s episodes from this site alone. That includes teams involved, games played and even the hosts of the show around that time.
- "Comcast Reports First Quarter 2005 Results." -- Re PHILADELPHIA, April 28. Web.
<http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/comcast-reports-first-quarter-2005-results-54430587.html>.
This page shows the profits made during a time where Arena was on the air and under the management of Comcast. Such financial information is pivotal to understanding what was going on "behind the scenes" in terms of the show and how it was doing during its time on the G4 Network. By that I am mostly inquiring about dollars and cents made/lost and not the ratings garnered from the network's/show's airing.
- "G4 - Rewind." G4 - Rewind. Web.
<http://www.g4tv.com/rewind/>.
This web site is the home page for the network and claims to be able to stream all episodes of the past shows that they have shown before. I plan to use this site in an effort to watch all of the episodes of the show.
- "The Rise and Fall of G4 TV 4 Gamers - Good Bad Flicks." YouTube. Web.
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEBwGOHntro>.
This documentary shows the various developments that were made during the beginning of the G4 Network, when Arena was on the air and afterwards. The network went through various changes during its run in terms of various acquisitions, target audiences and approaches toward them. This documentary explains everything that was going on involving the people involved and not so much the financial aspects covered by the quarterly reports.
- "LAN Party How To - Part 1: Planning and Power - Introduction." Tom's Guide. 20 Apr. 2005. Web.
<http://www.tomsguide.com/us/lan-party-how-to,review-438.html>.
This is a primer for anyone that has never heard of a LAN Party before, which is what the show of Arena was based on. It explains exactly what makes it a LAN Party and everything that is and should be expected from it. It is literally a guide for beginners to learn from without looking foolish or new to the concept.
- "Watch Now: Off Book | The Rise of Competitive Gaming & E-Sports | PBS Video." PBS Video. Web.
<http://video.pbs.org/video/2331962793/>.
This is a look at the growing world of competitive gaming, which the concept on Arena was based on. Competitive gaming is normally much larger and competitive than Arena, but it is safe to say that Arena was a way to get people more used to the concept of Competitive Gaming so that they would be more understandable about the culture and nature of this.
