Felt a bit conned with the terrible sections with Barry Shitpeas. He seemed to be on it almost as much as Brooker himself. At least it didn't have Tim Key, I guess. |

Er yeah, cheers.
He's just not funny. It's another one of Brooker's rubbish 'meedja' jokes. -

Games Britannia episode 3 has more Brooker and is very good. Still on Iplayer. -

Yeah or any format with quick wit -
I got tired of Brooker pimping Dead Set and telling me why I must watch The Wire and Deadwood. For a while it was like Channel 4 in its heyday. For a while. -

Not a bad gameswipe. The bit in the middle when this guy was talking about how most game writers haven't picked up a book is so spot on.

He doesn't come across well on any thing that involves other people as he is the IT guy of the media world and, well, nobody likes the IT guy. Because normal people know that IT ability is negatively proportionate to social skills so he always comes across as an embarrassing tool. Like watching your mate talk about WoW to your non gaming mates. -

End of the year show was awesome.
This is so fucking true.
Also, suprisingly (for me) Russell Howard's year review thing was great too. -

@charltonbrooker: For those asking: yes, there's a Screenwipe / Newswipe thingy coming up. And I'll still be writing for both Sat and Mon Guardian.

Woot! Must remember this is on tonight. Think I'll set an alarm of some sort.
