I don't want to offend any Irish but I put in the British tag because it was filmed in London before a British audience and Dara currently lives in Britain even though he is Irish.

I love how *everybody* gets the "boss battle" joke. Gaming sure has gone mainstream.

Dara is pure *quality

Yeah, that impressed me. I wonder if he second guessed it before using it. "Eh, do people get this stuff now?"

I've known these days were coming since I was a child, and it's not done yet. Gaming still isn't respected as an art form the way literature is. Newer mediums like photography and comics have gotten that respect, but not yet games. Some day.

^Some day soon, brother, methinks.

Some *videogames reference in there too, defeating a boss on blade 4!

Adding video to channels (Videogames) - requested by Kevlar.

He's great. Less a caricature comedian, and just a character!

Eh. Only a small handful of comic books deserve the same level of respect as literature, just like only a small handful of games deserve the same level of respect as art. The vast majority of games, especially the popular ones, are still juvenile blockbusters steeped in industry conventions that cannot transcend expectations for the medium.

On the other hand what proportion of regular books deserve the respect that literature gets?>> ^mentality:
