Lmao.

Usually find his stuff a bit too sarcastic to watch week after week (newswipe). But this was fairly amusing. I think i'm going to buy GTA 4 just to recreate the cab scene

Dara O'Briain was great.

When is he not?

Bit about the 3rd door actually made me laugh, hope I didn't wake anyone up.

lol. Love the GTA4 Commute!!! I've got a day off of work commuting only to be in a video game commute!

Not bad, the guy half way through makes the best points on story being possibly the most important ignored element of modern flashy games
ie. it has to be believable not cartoonish

Its like living in Stoke eh? - chuckle chuckle.

MoNkEyMiKeY · 30 Sep 2009 at 01:22

Just finished watching. Was quite amusing and brought back some great memories of old games

Excellent show, its a shame its not on bbc 1 or two. I love how he creates personalities for the nazis before blugeoning them to death.

Did anyone notice the 'all your base are belong to us' haha!

That was certainly the best bit.

I really enjoyed it very funny.

A game where you push Mylene Klass into a canal - I'd pre-order that.

ps3ud0 · 30 Sep 2009 at 09:45

The Fiddy Cent bit was also awesome.

That was surprisingly good for something games related by the BBC. Felt kind of Yahtzee in places, but I don't see that as a bad thing

Was quite a few 'in' jokes so at least gamers had some part to play in the production

Yahtzee sounds like Charlie

This was totally hilarious. Although it is quite spooky as Charlie and me must have been separated at birth. His description at the beginning was me and we have too many things in common like a dislike of MMORPGs.

EDIT: And I thought Dara O'Briain's rant was spot on. Such as being stuck in Gears of War - no matter what difficulty you set the game to it has no effect on whether you can get the Beserker to smash through three doors, etc. and the best content in Rock Band being locked until you progress the **** tracks that no-one has ever heard of.

Watching it now, screenwipe was awesome, so this should be good.
