Videogame Internet shows

Post by spoodie »

I watch these:

Consolevania - An excellent show by some mental Scots. General news, reviews, previews and comedy skits.
Pure Pwnage - A mockumentury thing from Canada, clever and funny.
Retro Core - Not surprisingly it's a retro show. Can be boring and very Japanese oriented but good for nostalgia and discovering retro treasures. (Download from Internet Archive, the FTP server is very slow)

So, give me some more video game based shows to waste my time. What do you watch? Video podcast on iTunes are acceptable, for me at least.

Pure Pwnage I've seen. It was good.

The only downside is every cock playing Counter-Strike thought that shouting "Boom Headshot" was funny. It wasn't. Not even the first time.

I'll have to download the others at some point.

I guess it's just me that watches more than 1 or 2 shows then.

There's a new episode of Consolevania due out very soon and everyone should see it. <strike>Also if you can get BBC 2 Scotland you can watch Videogaiden (their proper TV show) after Match of the Day, which is on Saturday nights isn't it?</strike> Not until November

I probably wont buy the DVD unless there's something really good on the extras, plus I have most of the episodes on my PC.

Another series would be great if they can keep it fresh but how long can they stretch the idea out?

A large percentage of the content of videogame TV shows is a bit boring or about games I have no interest in, and I've bought too many shit games based on reviews - I prefer peer reviews like we have here ;)
That scottish thing was funny in an Adam & Joe way in parts, talked about the games in much the same way as real gamers do, but the footage seemed rather disconnected - as if they were just commenting on it, rather than dicking about in the game themselves.
