Charlie Brookers ScreenWipe Computer Games

[oliviyo2]

those end credits software noises sound like the majority of shitty dubstep, i.e skirllex!

[SethWreckLollis]

Pacman = Irvine Welsh novel x'D <3

[sirmoog]

What's the music in the beginning of this video?

[cliveman5]

I never knew they did that on TV in the way back when, broadcasting software for you to record.

That's SO COOL!

[Alanofoxy]

That Owl is so from the Late Late show

[Insubordinate90]

Why does the vid glitch out at the 1:27 mark

[LeeSuss]

I won't be getting the Vernon Kaye game till they enable the option for punching him in the nuts too. Slapping his patronising mother would be a good one too.

[youngmoneybaby15]

@LeeSuss LOL yea that comment made me laugh hate vernon kay and his mother in that ad

[jomo999]

i love resident evil's cheesy dialogue, it's become a staple of the series -

'STOP. DON'T....OPEN. THAT. DOOR!'

[CssHDmonster]

@jomo999 you almost were a(heheheheh) jill sandvich 

[Smitamas101]

@jomo999 or Barrys classic " WHAT IS THIS " XD

[couchwanker]

i want to ask charile 1 question did he think up the thought that tv iis fuct or did some 1 , never mind charlie exposed it

[samsung54369]

that guy on the left reminds me of karl pilkington appearance wise

[liamjd1]

@samsung54369 aye

[MrSavagepotato]

That is definitely the guy off the independent Charles show.... Rab Florence!

[DerpCaptain]

@MrSavagepotato He has a comedy that is shown on BBC Sxotland called Burnistoun. It's great.

[bigbro02]

The biggest prostitute of all time? Ms. Pac Man. For 25 cents she will eat ball til she dies.

[TheAragorn22]

BLEEP achievment unlocked- post traumatic stress dissorder

[jackotheripper]

YES, a nice 6 min CB vid, enough time for me to role a cig, sit back and take in the eye opening genius that is Charlie Brooker!

[colenbrak]

whos belladonna? "look it up"

[XBR4Da]

YOU THICKSICLE!!!

[Technicolor909]

Roygbiv by Boards of Canada around 3:30

[drakonzebra]

3:32 Boards of Canada FUCK YEAH

[TheWinterfyllith]

Spending all day typing machine code from a PC magazine into a Dragon 32 to make an 'X' move across the screen. Very satisfying.

[cosmic93]

2:20 "medieval throwback farmhand f*ck" awesome terminology

[mahound9]

mmmmm Belladonna. perfect ass.

[wisteela]

I love all the retro stuff and his Space Invader impression.

[KaliberKing]

independent charles

[TheC0MP0UND]

Nice one rainbird

[nitrobunny2]

hahahahah this is extremely funny

[makky123]

Hover bovver > Black ops.

[MitchRaf]

My God if you pause the credits at the end of the video it says Rick Wakeman :D

[mrmattw95]

Boards Of Canada!! :D

[PoisonInc]

@mrmattw95 Yep, Roygbiv to be exact ^^

[MrTrungo]

Love that snowmans face

[The360gamerzz]

Oh my god! On the right in the interview he's Independent Charles!!!!!!

[LarryBundyJr]

I helped out on this episode, and Gameswipe, my name is in the end credits :D

[player7860]

@LarryBundyJr we all know who you guys are :D (should do anyway!!!) When are the new episodes coming on tv? im tired of hearing about "power punch II and Night trap" :D

[LarryBundyJr]

@player7860 Soon, they've asked to air my Top Ten series now!

[player7860]

@LarryBundyJr excelent, looking forward to it :D

[jonanice]

does anyone know if the ending is available on itunes?

[gazereths1982]

That counter strike map is epic!

[VincentBrooke1]

3:18 Roygbiv by Boards of Canada. Fuck yes!

[jackmn22]

500k of ram sounds like nothing now

[boysdontcry95]

Fawlty Towers map = want.

[lixechan]

I'm glad someone's talked about the tiny spaces inside one's head that exist after playing games - i thought it might've just been me. i love the guys on this show, espec' Brooker. :) <3

[soupalex]

"Whi's Belladonnar?"

"Uh. Lookit up..." :D

[pliskin100]

Brookers, don't argue that games arn't ment to be emotional moving. Video games have evolved into an art form, similar to cinema.

[seansalvador1]

@pliskin100

No he said that it doesn't invalidate them as an art form if they aren't emotionally stimulating.

[darknessbobe]

STOP IT! DONT OPEN THAT DOOR!

Jill Sandwich anyone?

[Ganthir]

I heard.. around 5:44

Boards Of Canada - Numerator

Near the end. Epic, whoever chooses the music for Screenwipe has epic taste.

[runitecastle]

@Ganthir that's Roygbiv. I dont even think there is a boc track called Numerator.

[Ganthir]

@runitecastle Yeah I just looked, there's actually 2 versions of the song it seems. Almost exactly the same but with 2 "instruments" changed.

My mistake.

Boards Of Canada regardless! And Boards Of Canada = Extreme Greatness.

[FeedsNoSliesMusic]

@Ganthir Boards of Canada of course being Scottish as well.

[Ganthir]

@FeedsNoSliesMusic Yep.

[schifferbrainz]

And wtf were those two gentlemen holding up that stone wall saying?

[chanceie12]

Resident Evil the first is fucking classic , don't care what anyone says.

[chocomog35]

@chanceie12 'It's blood....Chris's blood!!' Fucking loved that game ^.^

[DrCornwallis100]

Thank you Charlie Brooker for making me not ashamed of admitting I like video games.

[sanitybug]

resident evil?... keep up charlie its already 2007 before this video went out.

[DillonSundance]

hahaha we had the same in Germany, look up "WDR computer club"

[Blitzpheonix2010]

my favourote game on the wii is this 1 where u just repeatedly poke vernen k in the eye With a blunt knife lol

[markbeale]

Please do look up "Bella Donna", you won't be disappointed.

[somberlight]

@markbeale, did. ergh. i guess im picky.

[markbeale]

@somberlight It's more about what she does rather than how she looks ;)

[somberlight]

@markbeale, i guess. im still more .. shall we say.. used to the likes of... hmm.. stoya for example XD

[SuperYellow1989]

the

"STOP IT ...dont open...THAT DOOR" bit was so unexpected i just choked on my iron bru !

damn lol

[EvilgidgitReturns]

"No video game is ever going to be so moving that it'll make you cry" - These people haven't played Final Fantasy 7.

[terminegger]

@EvilgidgitReturns Or Bioshock.

[Whatupwidat]

@EvilgidgitReturns - FF7 made you cry? Jesus Christ I just died a little...

[chocomog35]

@Whatupwidat I cried at FFVII man, & the space section in VIII, & at some parts in Ix.....

[Blitzpheonix2010]

@PheonixGamersLegacy yeah probably, i wudnt be suprised

[PheonixGamersLegacy]

hahaha urban MAZEEE,

i love the way brooker speaks its sooo funny,

Is there a game where you get to poke vernan kay in the eye?

[veigalane]

1/2 a megabyte of ram!

now thats a fucking enormous

[theravendemon]

Wow, I'm sure my phone has more than 1.5Mb. We've come so far.

[abrlebabrle]

hahaha, music by rick wakeman, awesome

[thejobloshow]

Now you know where Zero Punctuation stole his act.

[somberlight]

@thejobloshow, stole? thats a bit of harsh wording. yahtzee has publicly said that it is was a direct inspiration for him. would he say that if he's

[siskavard]

you stupid thicksickle

[franzferdinandaddict]

STOP ...IT...DONT...OPEN...THAT...D­OOR

[Doppe1ganger]

I love Charlie.

[uwant2seethis]

Ahhhhhh Look It Up Classic XD

[conkel29692]

@4:26 lol, 512kB of RAM, that's 1000 times less than the iPhone.

[Pilkingtube]

@conkel29692 And in another 30 years people will laugh at the 12Gb of ram in our computers as being 1000 times less than the iPhone64i (2nd Gen), swings and roundabouts :P

[tangofizz77]

Oink Oink Oink Oink!

[DarkShroom]

wowowow, anyone found these old shows on torrent?

[donniedarkodevotte]

WTF at 4:00 I don't remember ever seeing a video game with a depressed snowman before.

[waldoistwisted]

Its the independent Charles show!

[STEPASAUR]

i thought fred harris was jonah louis when i was young... thanks

[therealdjcammONUTUBE]

"am i out of frame yet" omg that bit's hilarious XD

[MyNameIsBucket]

It's true. Only Dire Straits's "Brothers in Arms" could possibly describe the experience of seeing 8-bit graphics for the first time.

[paulbottomley42]

They will never know how happy hearing that program broadcast in the credits made me.

The epilepsy-inducing screen, the horrifying noise, the fear that at any moment it might stop and return "R: Tape Loading Error"... oh, happy days.

[Seiphroth]

ROYGBIV!!!!!.

[alexsabree]

@Seiphroth What an awesome f'ing song.

[sirmoog]

@Seiphroth One of my fav BOC tracks.

[sphoney]

Glad I'm not the only one who's achieved no-joke post traumatic stress disorder by playing too much.

[BVargas78]

lol i like Charlie Brooker :)

[MohanSandhu]

Nathan Fake!

[DonZabu]

"YA STUPID THICKSICLE!"

That is my new favorite word.

[halonone]

STOP IT! Don't. Open. That. Door!

[MysterySparkStudios]

lol fawlty towers map that is so cool, what next the springfield simpsons house, the family guy pub?

[Kousaburo]

@MysterySparkStudios There was a Quake 3 mod with a virtual Springfield. That includes the Simpsons house too.

watch?v=TRPmQDVvBTs&feature=re­lated

[VxmikeyxV]

ONH. ONH. ONH. ONH.... It takes ages to get anywhere like this- ONH. ONH. ONH. ONH. ONH. ONH... Am i off screen yet? ONH. ONH.... Thank fuck for that.

[666rocko]

6:18 i thought that was the ending music, sounds like this may have influenced todays rock

[whikless]

"In shows like this on TV, everyones a Bastard."

[YaoiVixen401]

Those two guys that discuss the video games...I think Charlie said their names were Raph and Ryan?

They're accents are so thick I can't understand them sometimes...and yet I can't help but find their accents less than awesome...

I love accents! <3

[richardbirch2007]

Rab and Ryan; Google the term "Consolevania" and you'll find their show. :D

[trailersic]

Rab (Robert) and Ryan

[Saiaton]

I think it's Glasgow. It's not just accent, they probably speak a whole Robbie Burn dialect between themselves that some consider actual Scots language distinct from English or Gaelic. I notice that he says Maire for More and stuff like that.

[YaoiVixen401]

Really? That's...truly interesting. Hearing the little taste of their accents kind of makes me curious about how the Glasgow language its self sound like. Ha! I would probably be confused...but I would still like to hear it.

As for the 'More' and 'Maire'...I have to admit that I didn't notice the replacement of it..hmm...I think I'm going to watch through the video again...

[Ail3a]

@Saiaton

Nah, it's just the accent...

[MCRrox1996]

i have 18 GB of ram MUHAHAHAHA =D

[Goolz]

If it wasnt for the fools of the 1980s you wouldn't have 4Gb of RAM....

[joewhittles]

i really dont think they were being serious

[Kinjamaimai]

@Goolz 12 gigs actually. Useless due to address limitations? Yes. Does it allow me to reply to a comment on youtube? Yes.

[Kinjamaimai]

@Goolz 12, sir. Is the system able to allocate all of it? No. Does it make me feel better having it? Yes.

[MrCriticize]

lmao

[LiamTheGreat]

love Brooker and can't wait for gameswipe but I hope Rob Florence isn't invloved in any way. He had his chance and instead made a sketch show that happened to be about videogames

[Wezi82]

You're going to be somewhat dissapointed then.

Not only does Rob Florence appear on the show, so do other well known gaming fans, such as Graham Linehan.

Everyone remembers that great classic episode of Father Ted where Dougal is waiting for a game to be released yet it's not due out for another 6 months & he unfreezes in the future, only to find out the world is now run by groups of atheists.

It's classic.

[LiamTheGreat]

Dara O'Brain is on it too. You must've seen that episode of mock the week when him and Frankie Boyle get good at Guitar Hero and actually emulate a rock star's career while playing the game. It was a brilliant episode

[SethMcFartlane]

You're thinking of THE SIMPSONS.

[emnonwodog]

A bit like that two-part South Park episode then

[kazimann]

Who does that remix version of 'View To A Kill' song at around 2:10?

[clappingham]

bloody devious russians buying our specrtums...

[Arthurmax180]

yay css

[thest3alth]

Whats the name of that CS map? ^^

[noodleshusky]

the map is cs_fawlty_towers

[Theanonymous1s]

hooray counterstrike ^_^

good memories.

[GoSquareGo]

Much love for the Video Gaiden blokes. Also, I can't wait for Gameswipe.

[PinkRobots73]

Pwnagemerchant: Boards of Canada from the Music Has Right to Children album. I don't know the name of the actual track

[Pwnagemerchant]

whats the music in the background of the scottish guys?

[barrymarshall]

Roygbiv by Boards of Canada

[Pwnagemerchant]

thanks

[calypsotwenty]

ROYGBIV

[aries066]

I love the Resi shouout!

[joepickard]

i remember that the only reason that i went to swimming lessons was because they had a Street Fighter II machine in the cafe next to the pool, so yeah, BROOKER IS RIGHT AGAIN

[23rice23]

i did some serious nostalgia there.

[genericfirstname]

Oh man so much of this is quotable:

"its got 512k of ram, its got 512k of rom so thats getting close to one and a half meg together. Thats really quite a lot" Micro

"So for 2 pounds I have bought the central processing chip off the shelf for a sinclair computer. For all this nice lady and gentleman know I could be a russian spy exporting that bit of hardware to do something devious." Database

[lisatrevoriscool]

i love the resi evil cut scences there hilarious!

[Beerlover2007]

LMAO brookers impression of space invaiders is amazing!!!

[Ci5tm92]

Boards of canada !

[dowling1981]

Brilliant music. Have you heard their album 'The Campfire Headphase' ?

[Ci5tm92]

I have indeed, Music Has The Right To Children I think is my favourite release of theirs. That and A Few Old Tunes rarity.

[dowling1981]

Is that the name of another of their albums? I only know one. Which albums of theirs are worth buying?

[Ci5tm92]

Music Has The Right To Children and Geogaddi are gold if you're into more abstract stuff - campfire is probably the most accessible albums they have done.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

I provided the TV footage for this episode!

[hardgayramen4ever]

here, have a medal

[ScrewAttackEurope]

No thanks, they paid me quite a bit for it.

[Bladrack]

In Bummings.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Bummed in the Gob.

[arseymcpherson]

Micro live? Alright., kudos. You cunt.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

LMAO

[swisstony123]

hahahaha is this to antagonise a certain someone??

[Industro]

OH. AH. OH. AH. OH. AH...

[roboticinvisibleman]

[wotwhatw00t]

Counter Strike.....what a game

[houlden33]

[thesims2petsrocks]

Hes the original Yhatzee!

[zersockpuppet]

Yahtzee has nothing on Brooker

[dannyhulse]

Yahtzee said that Brooker was his inspiration

[Nuka5]

no way, where!

[Mysterious0Bob]

That's insulting to Brooker, Yhatzee is god damn unfunny twat.

[1p3jn6cda]

2 different people my friend

[malismad]

lol one of the names in the credits was Peter Boffin.

[pickassoreborn]

More people like Charlie need to defend videogaming.

[dash1141]

Charlie Brooker - Hero of our time.

[shortyktfc]

"we're getting on for 1 and a half meg which really is quite a lot!"
