Trav Le Bleu Posted 13 June 2017 Posted 13 June 2017 Just wondered if anyone else watches this? I love it, great nostalgia trip; you get to see games you forget existed and usually good guests. Best gaming TV show since Bits, though you'd need to go some to beat that show.
Libertine Posted 13 June 2017 Posted 13 June 2017 Seen the DLC bit. Nice to see a show about gaming on TV, surprised there's not been much before. Used to love Games Republic back in the day.
StanSP Posted 13 June 2017 Posted 13 June 2017 love it as well. I wish they'd show more of the games being played as sometimes get lost of who's screen to look at but guess it must be hard to edit within timeframes!

SouthStandUpperTier Posted 13 June 2017 Posted 13 June 2017 Dave is all about Taskmaster. Best show on tv bar none It's definitely better than a 13-year old repeat of Mock The Week I'll give you that.
Sambiasso Posted 13 June 2017 Posted 13 June 2017 Most of the Dave Originals are good TV, Alan Davies As Yet Unititled & Modern Life Is Goodish as decent, Go 8 Bit is great but it's all about Taskmaster for me - Nish Kumar, Sally Phillips, Bob Mortimer, Aisling Bea and Mark Watson announced today for series 5. Some funny outtakes and a Edinburgh TV Festival Taskmaster special all to be found on YouTube
kingcarr21 Posted 14 June 2017 Posted 14 June 2017 GamesMaster was the boyo Been meaning to watch Dara. Cant believe with the gaming industry forever growing their isn't a tv show on gaming
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 14 June 2017 Posted 14 June 2017 GamesMaster was the boyo Been meaning to watch Dara. Cant believe with the gaming industry forever growing their isn't a tv show on gamingDominik Diamond or Dexter Fletcher - who was better? Gotta be Diamond for me due to his extensive use of the word 'pish'.
StanSP Posted 14 June 2017 Posted 14 June 2017 agreed about Taskmaster. Brilliant show to watch as always guaranteed entertainment and comedic value.
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 15 June 2017 Posted 15 June 2017 Taskmaster is fantastic, nothing else as spontaneous on TV and the laughs per minute is ridiculous. Can't be long before one of the bigger channels buy it off them Only watched Go 8-bit once or twice and wasn't really that bothered by it. Gamesmaster was the bollocks back in the day, Diamond defo the best host. Two things stick out in my mind: - When Patrick Moore gave out a fake cheat code for a game (can't remember what it was) and instead of giving the player infinite health, it goes to Game Over and the game must be restarted. There was a hilarious backlash - During one of the 2-player competitions (James Pond?) one of the kids used a cheat to win a race. He was disqualified and ridiculed and the other kid was awarded the prize. The cheater was on the verge of tears

Guest Posted 19 June 2017 Posted 19 June 2017 Saw one episode. Not against it but was disappointed by how crap everybody was at the games. Get some decent gamers on as team captains!

Get some decent gamers on as team captains! Captains remain the same every week. Steve McNeil seems to be a decent level, given they get him to play random games ranging from the modern to stuff released back in the 80s and he has to play someone who nominates the game every week he normally seems to give a decent account of himself. Given he's the co founder of the series and supposidly a keen gamer I can't believe how bad Sam Pamphilon is most of the time and the guests vary but normally pretty crap. It's ultimatley as much, if not more so, a comedy show as a games show not to be taken too seriously.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 4 July 2017 Author Posted 4 July 2017 People who choose a mobile game as their favourite game shouldn't be on the show.
Uranyl Yellow Posted 3 August 2017 Posted 3 August 2017 I've seen most of the episodes, and while it's OK, I'm not bowled over by it. For me it's falling between two stools: not funny enough for a comedy show, and not competitive enough for a gaming show. I also find the woman co-presenter mildly irritating.
