Words cannot express my happiness. What do you all think?

Consolevania is a gaming show that was filmed in Glasgow, Scotland. It features Robert Florence of Eurogamer fame.
I'll have to quote wikipedia on this as I have to run to work. See you when I get back!
"The show gradually gained a substantial internet following, largely by word of mouth, and began to attract the attention of both mainstream and video gaming media. Following the description of the show by Sky News as having "something that almost every other games show ever created has lacked: true passion for the subject matter," the BBC expressed interest in the show, reportedly since it garners "more viewers than some shows they produce already." The show received widespread underground popularity and is now a global entity.
The show primarily consists of a mixture of video game-related comedy sketches, reviews of both newly released and older video games, and occasional preview features highlighting forthcoming titles, especially those that appear unusual or eccentric. The lighthearted comedic approach of the show is met with clear passion for video games and knowledge of the medium's history. The program has sometimes experimented with unusual visual effects, such as flash edits and periods of slow-motion. Much of the humour is referential, expressing knowledge of a variety of video games of both mainstream popularity and relative obscurity. This ability to mock the video game industry whilst remaining affectionate toward it is typical of Consolevania's style."
