Charlie Brooker Gameswipe [vids]
Ali D | 7:22 AM on 09.30.2009 12 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!

Excellent, thought I'd only ever hear about this show, and never get to see it.
Ali D's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, same here. The BBC iplayer doesn't work here, but all of Screenwipe is up on Youtube. Definitely watch that.
Silverhertz's Destructoid Blog
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's Destructoid Blog
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!
Ali D's Destructoid Blog
@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.

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

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's Destructoid Blog
Awesome, Charlie Brooker is funny as hell.
Rosseh's Destructoid Blog
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's Destructoid Blog
@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.

 about me



Uhhh, I'm a 29 year-old, married, bearded Scotsman living in Australia. I only moved to Oz from my hometown Glasgow three years ago, so I had to really sell all my games before I left, which was slightly upsetting.

Got an X-box 360, DS, Wii and a fairly new PC rig on which I do probably most of my gaming. Which is normally TF2, but Borderlands is taking up a lot of my time. Once that's done, Dragon Age Origins will take up the bulk of my time until Bioshock 2 comes out
Trying to find a find a The World Ends With You, Chrono Trugger and Henry Hatsworth on the DS. Trying to find them in Australia is like trying to find a butchers that sells haggis!
