Hey guys,

for years you have known me as Ali D but now I am revealed as Alasdair Duncan, who also happens to be a bearded Scottish guy. Who've thunk it, right? I'm currently working with the PC team to cover all things personal computer related and also writing the odd review. I'm also one of the moderators on the forums trying to keep the place all nice and tidy for you all.

Charlie Brooker Gameswipe [vids]
Alasdair Duncan \| 7:22 AM on 09.30.2009	15 comments

So, Screenwipe star and all round funny bastard Charlie Brooker made his own videogame show. It's rather funny and features some good guest spots and you should watch it now before the BBC get it yanked off Youtube!

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Excellent, thought I'd only ever hear about this show, and never get to see it.

Alasdair Duncan

Yeah, same here. The BBC iplayer doesn't work here, but all of Screenwipe is up on Youtube. Definitely watch that.

Silverhertz

Just finished watching on iplayer, it was awesome. Tell the BBC we want more of this kind of thing. Who knows, maybe they'll start making more interesting programs like this.

Stevil

OH YOU GIT! You beat me too it! Ha! I was just finishing up my little c-blog draft when I saw this! *deletes*

It was a great show (as usual), hopefully Charlie will be making more Gameswipe in the new year. I bet you loved the bit about Condemned 2 being escapism for Scottish people!

Alasdair Duncan

@Stevil: you ever been to Scotland? Honestly, playing Condemned reminded me of home.

Except less 7-year old's beating you up for cigerettes.

"Perfect Cherry Blossom, which sort of resembles a firework display being sick."

Dude should be fucking shot.

Sean Carey

Thanks for posting these! Only had time for one, but will watch the rest tonight.

Jordan Devore

Only about halfway through myself, but I'm liking it so far.

The show is far from perfect, but compared to what we have to put up with in terms of games being presented on TV, it doesn't have to be.

Timmeh

Awesome, Charlie Brooker is funny as hell.

Rosseh

Pretty good. Some parts missed the mark but they always do. My favourite bit is where he pauses amidst the screams of pains from the japanese on fire from his flamethrower and grab a drink. Great Stuff and it's always good to see Rab and Ryan. Are there more episodes on the way or is this a one off?

I'm pleased this is on BBC4 as well. Didn't expect that.

PS - Love all you Brooker fans :D

Stevil

@Rosseh: For now, this is a one-off show made for a season of tech programmes on BBC4. There'll probably be more in the new year though. Fingers crossed!

I love Screenwipe, man. It's awesome he did this one too.

Skulsan

charlie brooker is amazing, i recommend 'dead set', the zombie series he wrote based around the big brother house.

good on ya for spreading the love my fellow UK-er.
