Go back and tell them that they're lying scum. It was released on PC before console.

Edit: Scratch that. Looks like it was released on PS4 first, then PC a week later, then Xbone.

Shit. Lying scumbags. GRRRRRRRRRRR.

Ahh true. I've played the fuck out of it and still haven't finished the main story. Can't believe how good this game is.

Watch people play games? I can do something like that from the comfort of my room... or from the palm of my hands. It's called Twitch. I won't pay that kind of money to watch someone else have fun, quite literally, at my expense, especially in a crowd-crush environment.

I always wonder what level of nerd you'd have to be to watch people playing video games while dreaming of being that good at video games.

That said, I watched the Fifa PS4 finals and the Madden PS4 finals on TV and they were slightly entertaining.

I used to watch Save Point on ONE HD (remember those days). It used to be presented by 2 guys and 2 chicks (all Australian), and they used to discuss everything from upcoming games, indi games and retro games. Loved it. I have no idea why they cancelled it though. It would've been better on one of the more popular channels like 10 or even 11 - I personally think 11 was more suited to it.

I used to watch people playing games on YouTube - and this was only if I got stuck on a certain level and needed to see how to pass it.

For some reason video game tv shows never last unfortunately. I think because there is so much available on the Internet these days that tv stations think it's not worth the production values to make them. I used to watch Good Game on ABC until it was cut. I then started watching Screen Play on 7Mate but now that recently has been cancled. There is one on Foxtel called Player Attack but it's pretty shit. The best one which was also on Foxtel was X-Play but it also got cancled a few years back when G4tv got brought out by another company.

I watched Good Game but admittedly I usually just watched it on YouTube rather than watching it live. One that wasn't just gaming (more of a tech show) that I enjoyed many years back was Cybershack but that was mainly to watch Erin McNaught.

Yeah i remember Cybershack and pretty much my reasoning for watching was the same as yours lol. Remember Anasta used to date her before she ended up with the Example guy.

On another note tech/culture show that was good was Attack of the Show which was on Foxtel. It was part of the G4tv programing which i mentioned in the previous post. Olivia Munn has co host of it which i didn't mind at all....wink wink. Actually X-Play also had Sarah Underwood as a co host aswell. Man i miss both those shows they were so good.

I actually like watching YouTube vids of gameplay that include commentary with them. For some reason it's just fascinating to get an insight into the players minds. There is this bloke called Auzzie Gamer and he does a lot of play-throughs of games and he constantly swears - mainly for comedy reasons. He hasn't posted a new video in over a year though, however, he also has a 2+ year hiatius so hopefully he'll be back soon.

Nah Spawn Point with Hex (Stephanie Bendixsen) was the good one. Show died after she decided to move on to other things.

Oooh. Sarah Underwood. Was obsessed with her for a while.

Spawn Point was the kids version of Good Game. I preferred Good Game.

She went to Screen Play with Nich Boy. That show has now ended too as of a couple weeks ago. It's a shame because i like Hex and Nich.

Hex and Nich Boy are great, but the show wasn't. I only managed two episodes of Screen Play and it felt really forced. Was difficult to watch.

Paying to watch someone play computer games... I wonder if there is a porn equivalent??

People paying to watching people watching porn.

Sounds like a porn version of Goggle Box. Maybe Poggle Box. Or Vagoggle Box. Or just Box.
