Dyson Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Gameswipe is on this Tuesday at 10pm on BBC Four. Good stuff, I know a lot of us here are fans of Brookers work and seeing him take on the big wide world of gaming in a one-off special should be good. Planning on watching it? Discuss! http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00n1j8q
Roostophe Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Planning on watching it? Definitely! Discuss! Okay then. Well, it's the Brooker. It's about video games. It's got to be good!
dwarf Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Can't wait, tis a shame it's only a one-off though. I'd prefer if he sticked to BBC4 only in a way and just stayed away from celebrity culture altogether. I guess it's too late for that now, especially with Dara etc in this feature.
Dan_Dare Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Tuesday eh? I was wondering when this was on earlier, weirdly enough. Winner.
EEVILMURRAY Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 About time. Me and the Dare to Dan FlipReverse have been discussing this for some time.
Dante Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) I am watching Newswipe episodes on youtube but it is a shame that Gameswipe is going to be a one off special. Watching ep4 of Newswipe is shocking and unbelievable on how the media lies and controls things. Edited September 27, 2009 by Dante Automerged Doublepost
Beast Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 I'm going to watch it, I think it will be cool.
martinist Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Should be a good watch, Brooker riffing on videogames is somthing I've wanted to see for a while.
Dan_Dare Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 He used to write for PC Zone back in the day. I remember some his stuff being very funny indeed. He also occasionally rambles about games he's played in the footnotes of his Monday slot in G2.
Rummy Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 I'm not massively into the Brooker love and hype, but games, now that's something I did once rather love! I think I might just check this out and see how it goes, then avoid all the people loving/hating him.
dwarf Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 I'm not massively into the Brooker love and hype You have a lot to learn. His articles and Screenwipe are astoundingly funny. But maybe you have experienced both of the previous so in that case maybe you are in fact not human.
Dyson Posted September 27, 2009 Author Posted September 27, 2009 Nah, I can see why people might not like him. I personally think he's brilliant, but could see why people might not find him funny. Then again, I've yet to actually meet someone who doesn't 'get' him.
Daft Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Newswipe is one of the most depressing series I've ever seen. Fucking funny, though.
dwarf Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 His mission documentary episode on screenwipe is one of my particular highlights. Connie Huck was brilliant and the whole ending segment was just outright genius. I can't help but post about the guy. It's going to end up with me sounding queer, or just pretentious because I abuse the respect-giving.
Sooj Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 I find him funny, enjoyed newswipe but I don't really like the guy *shrugs*
EEVILMURRAY Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I'm not massively into the Brooker love and hype Then get into it boy. Go Deep. Balls Deep. The classic Top 10 Cocks and She Cocks of advertising. I recommend starting with the third one. But tell me Rummy, do you think mortgages should have holes you can put your nob in? 1: 2: 3:
dwarf Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I can't actually wait for this piece of toss. TV highlight of the week guarenteed. Hopefully it's successful and he ends up doing a series for it. (Staying on BBC4)

EEVILMURRAY Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 That is genius. I love the way he doesn't attempt to change the channel, and then finds his own special way of blocking the product.
Karl619 Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 I'm a fan of his! Well not a fan but I do think he's funny. You have been watching was a good show and I have a book of his I haven't read yet. He does need to cheer the **** up though
Jimbob Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 Awesome, i shall be checking this out later on.
EEVILMURRAY Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 It's about to start. BBC4 NAAAOW. DO EEET. No excuses. Fuck FlashForward. GO GO GO.
CoolFunkMan Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 I missed the first 10 mins. The Wolfenstein review is hilarious though!!
Jimbob Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 I missed the first 10 mins. The Wolfenstein review is hilarious though!! Oh yes, should hear Dara's reviews of Gears, GTA and Guitar Hero
