Yeah, that wasn't really directed at you, but more at the whole "give us an objective review" cry that's been going around.

For the record, my two favourite gaming sites are bluesnews (that's how I found the sift in the first place) and rockpapershotgun, for different reasons obviously.

The reason I like blues and the issue I have with news in video format is time. I can read a days page of news on blues in well under a minute, spawning tabs of interest as I go.

Your video is 6:25 long.
First up is the BAFTA awards: it's a fairly dry list with no commentary on it. If I want that information, a link to http://awards.bafta.org/award/2015/games is a much more succinct way of presenting it.

Then some news about Hawken: cool! Hawken is awesome and I've been hoping to hear more about it.

Elder Scrolls: don't care.
Nintendo licensing agreement: don't care
Nintendo's next console: don't care

Steam refund policy change: Interesting.
Kojima to leave Konami: interesting.

The point is not what I care about or don't care about, that's going to be different for everyone. The point is I have to fast forward to the news I'm interested in and as presented, it's an inherently bad format for that.

Maybe instead of one long video have a series of shorter videos linked via annotations? Or even timecodes in the description. That way, we can jump to the stories we're interested in.

HTH

The secret is to do it before they know who you are!

I can't wait until I'm old/comfortable enough to start just kissing people smack dab on the lips.
That'll probably only happen when I meet Meryl Streep though :-(

Horrible review. That arrogant mocking is the kind of attitude you get from unthinking haters. I would never trust their opinion. I happen to agree with his basic critique, but his attitude was so repulsive I think I'll give the iPad another chance. After all, I enjoyed playing Plants vs Zombies on it.


It's a comedy show. He's putting it on for laughs. Do we have to explain when people are simply taking the piss? Whether he means it or not is not relevant - the entertainment value is. But fanboys do need something to get worked up about.

BTW Newswipe has been nominated for a Bafta so well done to Brooker on that front.

dug his Secret Life of Twins as well.

wow. quite the interesting career he's had.
and apparently, this series won a bafta.

Oh this is bloody great, cheers guys. Just making breakfast for the brats and couldn't get rid of the smile haha. Thanks very much Schmawy for takin the time mate, and everyone for going through my queue! Umm I would thank you all separately here, but it's the interweb not the fuckin Baftas so i'll come find you guys in profiles laters
