Hehe reminds me of Game TV. It's a show here in Iceland, hosted by 2 guys talking about mainstream games and stuff. I think there's a new season starting soon.
Dedicated Gaming Channel Coming to British TV
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook
- Start date
It's a shame that VideoGaiden never took off nationally. Those guys were doing proper gaming coverage and comedy with web videos way before Yahtzee, for example, and didn't lack any in insight and humour.
For the record, this site isn't only read by 'hardcore' gamers, I consider myself a light gamer, but enjoy the thought provoking discussion and essays. Just thought I'd put that out there.
Basically they'll only shows things marginally related to their original target audience with nothing to do with the original idea... It'll pretty much just be MTV.Girl With One Eye said:
OT: I think I'll pass on these kinds of channels until they start showing live professional Starcraft, DotA TF2 ect matches. That could be interesting; an e-sports channel.
We need more programs like Gameswipe and VideoGaiden, you know, stuff that is actually good.
GamesMaster for me is the gratest videogame show ever made. An important thing about it was this show was on about the time the internet was on its first legs, so it was a helpful guide to what was going on in gaming. Bringing in an entire gaming channel nowadays seems kind of redundant.GothmogII said:
THIS IS EXCELENT!!, this way, VG can get more attention from the public without offending their tiny little brains, instead making the content specific for ALL AUDIENCESS to watch (wich is a slippery slope) but still works to propagate a good image of the industry...
now... said that, "Main focus will be reviewing games"...
did someone else thought "KA-CHING"??? they are going to get paid by activision to give 10/10 to its games even before they are finished, what we need, a biased source of opinion on games so that they can make things relevant...
so, its all kinds of good for the propagation of the media and the better understanding of said media
and its all kinds of bad for the "main consumers" of the media, because they will be able to "adjust" scores so that some games get in the spotlight making them more relevant, and some dont, making them lose sales...

Have fun enjoying humor and creative programming for a few years, however I'm not sure what the British version of cops is, but once that shows up on the channel and people start using hair gel the ride's over.
