Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe S03E02

[@Iconology]

Charlie Brooker + Boards of Canada. CAN'T GET ENOUGH

[@Larry]

I helped out with the game and video game TV show footage for this episode, didn't get credited, but they did credit me in the gameswipe episode.

[@facefister69]

Hello You!

[@brandonmartin-moore5302]

Nice!

[@GeorgeMillerAtkinson]

I am so happy that they play Boards Of Canada!

[@jenningstv983]

I know I'm watching this in 2022, but it's crazy how out of date the section on Internet videos is, it's like a time capsule from a completely different era.

[@hypnotised-clover]

All of this show would be considered middeling tier KZbin content now.

[@cfbgoespop]

It's really weird how I can't listen to anyone (say the Scottish guys) remembering old TV shows on this show without immediately thinking of Barry Shitpeas - "There was this show like..."

[@lewiswhatley687]

I also love the way they put ABBA, played by what sounds like a band of mexican troubadors, over images of someone getting asphixiated by clingfilm... whoever selects the music for this program is a comic genius

[@TransmissionEpicts]

Ooooooh that's weird. I randomly decided to watch some old 24 clips. Then had my nostalgia fest and decided to watch Screenwipe and thought I'll watch some of series 3. And clicked on this one. Which features 24 :-) KZbin algorithms are in sync with my brain!

[@rareblues78daddy]

God shook my mind by the hand... Brilliant.

[@AlwaysBetOnDunc]

The end of MGS3 got me, If Big boss can cry, I can cry too

[@IMOLDGREGG252]

I’d now add the end of rdr2 to that list

[@fmde]

@5:35 Concept of Black Mirror episode S03E06 ("Hated in the nation") revealed!

[@FernandoNINETorres]

What really sums up Brooker's humour is the cynical monologue at the end with the deerhunter theme edited under the words. I get the feeling he that he needs this show to vent his own anger at the world and esp tv.

[@Victoriacariad]

I love the way Scots say 'bastard'...

[@Victoriacariad]

***** Haha yes! I remember Frankie Boyle saying that fairly often on Mock the Week... - melts - !

[@cassiegregory6757]

Look at ZeFrank now, he is soo good

[@royfr8136]

Can't believe how old this looks now.

[@brandonmartin-moore5302]

I love the effort they put into the fake Radio Times, full of blink and you'll miss it jokes.

[@stefanrabicano]

One of Charlie's first projects was TVGoHOME - a spoof radio times

[@whowantsabighug]

27:16 holy fuck that's Lindybiege!

[@gabrielthomsen3703]

whowantsabighug It is indeed, how astonishing.

[@drfuzzee]

Thats exactly what i thought, is it actually him?

[@LoneKharnivore]

My favourite game is identifying the soundtrack to this show.

[@jamesgoodman5102]

14:00 Boards of Canada - ROYGBIV

[@ReliefOrFight]

5:34 foreshadowing of the premise of Black Mirror series 3 episode 6?

[@YSOFTWARE]

Omg again!

[@jamesgoodman5102]

thats _exactly_ what I though

[@Connor-jl9gq]

Its crazy to see the advances in vidogames since this came out

[@harrylinnell9092]

Lindybeige and Charlie Brooker are my two favourite people. Curse you, Brooker, for forcing me to choose with your vulgar dismissal of what I'm sure would have been a fascinating dance routine/magic act/whatever!

[@BennyjaminUK]

This reveals so much about Charlie's brain and black mirro

[@Restless_Hermit80]

10.000 phonebooks :O Wow, I hope I'll live to see the day!

[@kristinaplays2924]

And I play minecraft while listening to this so I'm not missing out XD

[@MediumRareOpinions]

when he talks about video games making you cry, I'd say that some games immerse you so heavily into characters that some of the best can make you feel deep empathy for the characters. If anything i feel closer to the player character whose actions i'm taking than a character on a screen i'm watching passively

[@ryanwebb5082]

FF7

[@Codemarla]

10:55 Except that since this was made there have been several emotional games that have made me (and many others cry). Walking Dead, Life is Strange and Journey to name a few.

[@purebaldness]

Not sure if those games were released in 2007, mind!

[@Codemarla]

doc hendrix I know. I did say "since this was made".

[@purebaldness]

Code: Marla oh yeah, my bad!

[@LudicrousBarchart]

Oh, nice one Larry! :D I was wondering what your avatar was doing hovering below this video!

[@adamadams9517]

I remember this

[@ShadeBoi]

"No video-game is ever gonna be so moving it will make the player cry!" *cough* Undertale *cough*

[@therecalcitrantmisanthrope1892]

yep. I cried at the end of Walking Dead(the Telltale Adventure) Season One & Two. At the end of Season One, when the game crossed over to "Clementine" and you had to either shoot "Lee" or not, I did. And, the end of Season Two, I let "Kenny" die. Oh yeah, I cried at the end of "The Last Of Us" too.

[@django3422]

And Undertale was, by far, not the first.

[@George_Azeria]

Spec Ops The Line. And no one can ever take that away from me.

[@Scrubworks]

Several moments in Life Is Strange

[@Zomdra]

9:56 People think it's a happy game, it's NOT a happy game, it's a FUCKING nightmare world and the worst thing is it's real and we live in it.

[@TheCianjohnston]

I find the comments about youtube hilarious in contrast to how online media took off as an industry XD

[@mojevalka]

sorry Charlie, i am watching you instead of playing games right now because somebody has to bloody code them :D

[@WilkyWay3000]

Spec ops the line, that game affected how i look on games on a whole and i like brooker, finished it with PTSD

[@LeofromFreo]

“Stories that I’ve WROTE.” Oh dear.

[@patayres3336]

I'd readily read that kid's book about the OCD wizard.

[@chazdevlin6160]

11:50 - Shows what you know, Brooker. I'm watching this on my Xbox. ;)

[@xb9delta]

no video game will ever be so moving it makes the player cry? spec ops: the line was so moving it nearly made me cut myself

[@bareakon]

I cried while playing the Mass Effect trilogy

[@joandtheoldstuff]

4 million is still a decent amount of TV viewers; it's all dependant on the channel.

[@thisperson5294]

24 DVDs flooded charity shops, till I think even they got sick of them.

[@DLLW93]

12:57 BOARDS OF CANADAAAAAAA epic tune

[@jdixon390]

That bit at 11:00 hasn't aged well lol. They absolutely do now.

[@sicilysmothers9624]

Ha! I did have that haircut when I was nine.

[@Cheeseberry69]

I was today years old when I found out about R Kelly's Trapped in the Closet. What the actual f.....

[@SushiCatto]

09:03 - He's never played them, and "hopefully never will again" THEN HOW DO YOU FEEL QUALIFIED TO COMMENT ON IT?!

[@fishingforbubbles]

11:00, those people have CLEARLY never paid attention to the poem Charr wrote Ereba in mass effect 3. OH THE TEARS!!!! D':

[@joandtheoldstuff]

Or "hello!", as people used to say.

[@wsjack3]

I've often thought the ratings system seems incredibly flimsy the way it is done, surely in this day and age they're is a much more accurate way to know who is watching what (there probably is since this was 13 years ago)

[@REDxOktopuss]

I want to know how that woman at the end kept a straight face. Awesome.

[@IrritatedBear]

The KZbin part is so dated😂

[@crazymo0o]

This is from 2007 you cretin.

[@IrritatedBear]

well no shit

[@pickledegg1989]

crazymo0o He means it's become dated since then. It doesn't make him a cretin.

[@truthisheredealwiit952]

pickledegg1989 How do you know what he means ?

[@truthisheredealwiit952]

***** Fuck man. its not dated, its old, I don't need an explanation for something that is blatantly obvious.

[@nakenmil]

Anyone know which version of "a view to a kill" that was?

[@Mooondoggy]

no it's harold from harold and kumar

[@lewiswhatley687]

AC/DC at 1.40... thats all i wanted to say (other than charlie brooker is a beast)

[@manchester26m]

Play through the mass effect trilogy and tell me you didnt bawl your eyes out.

[@socksycherry]

Gears of War 2 got me when Dom had to shoot his wife, and the third one when he killed himself. Bloody games *sniffle*

[@Bungleandgeorge808]

Lol, a spitting image

[@JonathanNichollstechandsuch8]

5:34 Did somebody say “Hated in the Nation”

How does the Telephone book unit system actually work... is 1 byte = 1 phone number?

[@TakeMeOffYourMailingList]

1 byte = 1 number between 0-255. You could, in theory, use Binary Coded Decimal to get 2 numbers to each byte, but this was never done. A phone number in the format 0XXXX XXX XXX would take up 11 bytes including leading 0, 10 without.

how does htting the jackpot on deal or no deal make it statistically less likely that the next person will hit it?

[@areyouwatchingclosely-t9h]

Law of averages?

[@ThePodcorn]

no games make you cry...........walking dead

[@3n61]

It's like Jeremmy Clarkson but for tv

[@tommygmorris]

Remember this episode is from 2007, thats like a century in gaming terms. I doubt highly Charlie would concede even that now, what with emotive games like Heavy Rain, Spec Ops the Line or as you say the Walking Dead - especially the end!

[@DevilboyScooby]

10:55 "People say no videogame will ever make the player cry". Well The Last of Us came close. And I rarely cry.

[@fancythathat]

Gia thingy is married to Brian Cox the bloke who stands atop hills waving his bum at the camera while dumbing down cosmology, so no wonder she is so bored with life she just sits at home agrandising anonymous and inconsequential video blogs.

[@Steviebond2]

Maybe he used to be an actor before entering parliament. ;)

[@ringosis]

Bits in games that have brought me to tears Aerith in FInal Fantasy 7 John Marston's last stand in Red Dead Redemption Alyx and Eli Vance in Half Life 2 Episode 2 The funeral in Lost Odyssey Several moments in Mass Effect 3 (Liz Sroka deserves a fucking oscar for Tali'Zorah) Losing Agro in Shadow of the Colossus Games absolutely have the capacity to make you cry if they want to, it's just not often that they do.

[@HLecterPHD]

Theres a pacman app/extension for chrome called pacmania. its like crack.

[@xanaxodgrindcorelover9191]

"video games aren't trying to make ppl cry" buncha games that have come out since this aired would beg to differ. at least he's giving them some credit, which is more than can be said for his contemporaries at the time

[@trip2themoon]

I've never in my life met anyone who is part of a ratings register household. Have to be pretty bored in life to sign up to that. Unless he didn't have a childhood Kermode is talking shit.

[@TheMightyTed]

No it was kumar.

[@sculli722]

Love looking back on youtube now, 4 million people? In modern terms thats fuck all. Its all so primitive as well, hard to believe this was just a few years ago.

[@kristinaplays2924]

I cried when I played Final Fantasy VII and Aeris died...

[@thebeef45]

oh fuck off

[@theblackwidower]

"I love documenting stuff." So you have OCD then.

[@pretorious700]

24 is such total horseshit

[@ringosis]

The end of Bioshock 2 nearly got me as well, when your daughter watching you die and she sobs "You are my conscience father...I need you to guide me"

Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty could make anyone cry.

[@fairyheli2]

16:00 dubstep?

[@redwraith122]

So I guess she must find the universe and all it's mysteries boring. I don't know, but it seems like Gia is a boring person.

[@slopit12]

19:35, They're totally missing the Simon Amstell effect. I didn't care when it was on, I'd be watching it.

[@CaladonianQueen]

Anyone who doesn't think that video games can make you cry has clearly never played undertale.

[@squiresinho]

Bandersnatch...

[@bellboy64]

It's not that bad.

[@dougmgreen]

It's well documented that Yahtzee was influenced by Charlie Brooker

[@KingAelle]

Don't open that door!

[@anjetto1]

This totally came out before walking dead game

[@ringosis]

I think you may have not understood the games properly.

[@Shadow_Boa]

If anyone has played lost odyssey, then you will know the part about video games not making you cry is a load of crap lol

[@ductuslupus87]

Games don't make people cry. type in watch soap die and see the water works. That poor girl.
