[edit] Can't believe

I can't believe they did not think this was cause chaos on mentioning it alive, and then actually reading some of the posts, I bet wikipedia never gets mentioned again on the show again -SUN

It's interesting that most of the questionable info in the article was added within the last two weeks by two IPs here and here. The latter even added fact tags to those edits a few days later. Most of the remaining questionable content can be traced to an edit from Aug 1, 2006. It might be instructive to peruse the diff from July 12, 2006 to today. Gimmetrow 07:05, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Please note: Your diff contained some recent vandalism. I've reverted it. Vandalism finally seems to be slowing, but we will have to go back and look at that diff. --N Shar 07:09, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Are you certain it contained vandalism? (I don't mean the self reference.) Are you sure it's "Irrelevant Audio" with captain "Abraham", and not "Pointless Audio" with captain "Immy"? Neither have a reference as it stands, so I'm curious how you determined that was vandalism? I was in the process of checking the edits, and came up with this link to G4TV, which is presumably not just a wiki mirror. Gimmetrow 07:19, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Nope: maybe that part's right. I decided it was vandalism because of the pattern of edits, but I am not certain at all. Please revert, as I have to go right now and can't do it. --N Shar 07:25, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Note that I have tagged the article for expert attention. I don't actually know anything about this guy. --N Shar 07:29, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
It's been pruned some. Eventually I'll see what can be verified to his blog. Gimmetrow 07:54, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Who locked this? I wanna thank you, too many n00bs. *salute* You've endured well Kevin. :p :p :p

[edit] Stopping the vandalism

Someone lock this and revert it to before the vandalism spree.

I had already suggested that. Someone proceeded to delete it and the three or four discussions before that. Mtvcdm 00:28, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I posted a request for an Admin to come over here and lock it. Mosenmori 00:36, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Belvedere

You changed it because it was on the TV! Way to go, man. Big ups. --Steve (talk) 23:29, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

It was me who put the middle name in here.(IT PUTS THE LOTION IN THE BASKET AND DOES AS ITS TOLD) I saw it, and now I felt almost embarrassed. Good thing I wasn't called out by Pereira himself. Check the history. --Seishirou Sakurazuka 23:38, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

For those of us who have not referred to the history logs yet and do not understand the context, why were you embarrassed? Hall Monitor 16:56, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Before "Belvedere" was mentioned on the show, a sheet with a bunch of personal info (including his birthdate) was shown on air. It showed his middle name as "Elder". Since we now know that it's not actually Belvedere, I've gone ahead and put his middle name as Elder. Was this prudent since we don't have real confirmation? iKato 16:23, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kevin Pereira's middle name

If this person has a middle name, please cite a credible source for it. It has been in dispute for quite some time now. --HappyCamper 04:19, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Although I keep hearing it in the chat rooms and on the G4 forums, I keep hearing that his real middle name is "Immy", although I don't know where it came from. So I am not going to put Immy up there yet. Seishirou Sakurazuka 22:50, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

It's not Immy. That was a nickname he created for one of the Quake videogames. iKato 22:55, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

I Think middle names are just there so you pearents can agree on a name more easily. --Waln1111 01:36, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Sometimes middle names are needed for a place of information like Wikipedia. --Seishirou Sakurazuka 01:47, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Attack of the Show

"broadcast live every weeknight from Los Angeles, California." That statement is wrong. It still airs at 4pm every weekday in my area and never at 7pm and I live on the west coast.


--- AOTS airs 7pm eastern standard time - erin

[edit] Contreversy

Can you add that Kevin Pereira occasionally mentions highly offensive terms, such as Goatse, Arabian Goggles, and Teabagging on the air (I don't catch this stuff while I watch it, but it gets alot of flak on the G4 Forums. -- Mushroom King 06:32, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

That's pretty POV. I have no problem with goatse myself. --66.106.60.11 03:29, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Seriously, Goatse is the second best site on the Internet. I have it as my desktop background and my home page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Duodesu (talk • contribs) 03:06, 6 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Arena

can u add that Kevin P. hosted Arena and sported the worse mustache ever witnessed on television?

You could, but it wouldn't stay long...--Dp462090 00:42, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

The link for Arena is wrong, its linked to the british television show, not the G4 gaming one, i will fix this problem.

That mustache was pretty ghastly...I say go for it. Gopherdabills 01:08, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Is there anywhere on the Web that shows him with his mustache? He commented on it recently on Attack of The Show. He joked about how it didn't meet in the middle and was a " " mustache if my memory serves me correctly. I can't picture Kevin looking anything of the sort. He's just being too hard on himself.--InnerRise 02:37, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This discussion is important for archival reasons.

Do not remove or alter this dicussion under any circumstances, unless you have the authority to do so.

I have a seething hatred for this so-called man. Jack Cain 08:54, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

I still hate this person. He annoys me immensely. Jack Cain 07:24, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

This isn't needed. I just pulled a whole paragraph from the article containing homophobic and homo-erotic statements. Considering you hate him so much, I'm inclined to believe that you put it there. Straightxedger 20:56, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Excuse me? Are you accusing me of being a vandal? Ive been a responsible wikipedian for a long time now, and just because I comment that I dont like this guy, you start attacking me with your......what is this, your sixth edit to wikipedia ever? This is a damn insult. Jack Cain 04:45, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm just saying it isn't needed. I may not post alot but I do frequent Wikipedia. I'm just tired of everyone vandalizing this place, because Wiki could be a very valuable tool.Straightxedger 03:22, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I agree, hence why I leave a comment on the talk page to express myself. Jack Cain 05:53, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Alright, I'm sorry for blaming you man, no hard feelings? Straightxedger 01:53, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, its cool, thanks for apologizing, I really appreciate it. Nowadays alot of people dont take the effort for things like that. He just tries so hard to be funny and geek-hip, that he just makes an ass out of himself in a completely unamusing way. Jack Cain 23:25, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry again i have removed this article because the one who started it is only saying how much he hates kevin pereira, i am no expert at wikipedia, but that seems like a fairly useless reason. As for archival purposes i don't see how an argument between two people about something as usless as a criticism really has any reason for being archived.

Ill explain for you. You do not blank pages, even talk pages. You just are not supposed to, its the rules. Jack Cain 04:05, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Even though your right about the rules, I kinda agree with the unamed dude, you were not exactly following the rule of "be nice and remain civil" in regards to Mr.Pereira, i fail to see how "He just tries so hard to be funny and geek-hip, that he just makes an ass out of himself in a completely unamusing way." and "I have a seething hatred for this so-called man" is being either nice or civil. You may distest this man, however the majority is against your liking, so next time can you try and refrain from the insults? --JSawyer 04:44, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
I was just venting a little, "seething hatred" always wears off in a few days for me. Jack Cain 14:39, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Tom Green Show

Are Olivia and Kevin still dating? On the Tom Green Show, Olivia and Tom contemplated kissing, and Kevin said to go for it. He then said, "update the wiki, kids." Did he insinuate a break up? It says single on his Myspace. 70.153.198.12 03:53, 29 August 2006 (UTC) dude who knows

Please tell me when it was officially stated that Kevin and Olivia ever dated. I'm completely against that statement until I see proof. I would hate for it to have been or still be true.--InnerRise 02:35, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kevin's Birthday

I was sure that his Birthday was in early January. Anyone care to clarify? If I remember it I'll be sure to come back here and post it because I did know the actual date. I can't think of it ahora mismo.--InnerRise 04:10, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Added a ref to his blog from 28 Dec 2005 where he talks about it. Gimmetrow 01:30, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Well don't I feel stupid. I actually visited Kevin's blog and I even have a posted comment on there dated January 10, 2006. So I must have known and just forgot. Maybe just hopeful thinking. Ah well. Kind of a shock and let down. I thought his Birthday was in the same month as mine. It's still close to mine though. But now this means he's actually 5 years older than me instead of 4 years older than me as I previously thought since his Birthday is in December and not January. Not a big age difference still though. And it's still basically the same thing, might as well still consider it 4 years instead of 5. Well that's all for now. If I have anymore concerns, I'll be sure to come back here and post about them.

P.S. Kevin's page should contain more material. Kevin is very muliti-faceted, his personality is so varied. He's a very interesting person.--InnerRise 18:40, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The last of the unsourced

Pereira has hosted or been a guest on many other programs besides Attack of the Show!, including Pulse, Arena, G4tv.com, X-Play, Robot Wars, Battlebots, Reviews on the Run, and Cheat!.

The above text has been removed from the article pending reliable sources. Thanks, Can't sleep, clown will eat me 04:36, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

As long as unsourced is being listed, the birthplace doesn't have a real citation. It's the same birthplace listed on IMDb, but citing IMDb for trivia is like citing another wiki - the info is only as reliable as the sources given. Gimmetrow 02:20, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Hes been on Channel 1 news. It was sometime during last year. I remember watching it in class than all of a sudden jumping up because KP was a guest they were asking about some tech wise. I think it should be noted he's interviewed on the special features of the Doom movie.

[edit] Any relation to Michaela Pereira?

Is Kevin Pereira in any way related to Michaela Pereira?SuperWiki5 22:00, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

No, as far as I know. I have never seen any connection asserted. Gimmetrow 02:11, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lickmysweaty?

Kevin was never invovlved with that site ic checked its a gay porn site.that site is obviously vandalisium it needs to be removed.-jw

It wasn't added as vandalism - the site is mentioned on the G4tv website. If the domain was lost and taken by some other enterprise, perhaps that's why it's not linked in the text? Gimmetrow 00:58, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kevin's Temporary Middle Name

He really should legaly change his middle name to Renaldo

totaly(Esskater11 18:13, 5 June 2007 (UTC))


Based on a video on Kevin's website, it seems his middle name is Elder. Can anyone back that up? LN3000 21:27, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
