(note: certain text in this article (between quotation marks) found to had been vulgar or profane (including text of a certain word often used as profanity))Another classic game show was close to returning to the airwaves, but it couldn't quite come to fruition. Starcade, the '80s arcade competition series, was nearly rebooted this year on G4TV, Comcast's video game network. However, the media conglomerate got cold feet with the G4 relaunch, unceremoniously shuttering the whole network in October. Prior to the shutdown, Xplay co-host Jirard "The Completionist" Khalil was deep into lining up a Starcade reboot. Khalil, who also served as G4's Executive Director of Content Strategy, revealed the reboot plans during an unofficial Xplay reunion that went down on Kinda Funny Games' platforms on Nov. 15.
