    It's very rarely that a non-shit videogame review programme appears on British TV. Amongst the mainstream-targetted bollocks, Consolevania - a previously internet-only amateur games show - has been going for a good two serieses.

    Recently, the BBC decided to let Consolevania have a ten minute slot on BBC Scotland. Despite being very short, it's still an appropriately entertaining piece of work and the reviews are generally very bluntly honest. Consolevania is famous for its humour, violence, racism, swearing, pedophilia, Hitler and serial killers. It's been toned down slightly for the BBC, but it's still pretty gr8 and definitely worth 10 minutes of your time.

    I found a http mirror of the first episode which aired the other night. If you live in the UK, try to watch it on Thursday nights at midnight so that it can be extended to a longer slot! Maybe videogame tv can be salvaged from its current state of disrepair. Maybe.

    Mirror will probably die at any moment so get it while it's hot.

    Consolevania is great, although I've only seen two episodes of season 2. The scottish accent makes their harsh reviews even better.

    They were WAY too harsh on Call of Cthulhu, and I'm amazed that they preferred generic action horror The Suffering to what I found one of the more refreshing games of the year. Each to their own I guess and Call of Cthulhu has been getting some extremely mixed reviews - 8/10+ way down to 4/10, and god knows what VideoGaiden would have given it!

    Haha.

    Where exactly did you send your compliments off to, Tequila? I'd like to do the same if it helps to emphasise that this really is a good show.

    lmao, I'm going with Curman here.

    Show was bloody brilliant and I laughed my ass off but I just couldn't understand a word of what they actually saying.

    Glasgow is one hell of an inpenatrable accent, it's true.

    Doesn't help that they're talking rapidly to fit it all inside 10 minutes.

    Still, surely you can work out phrases like 'pure pish'?

    i could make out some words when they slowed down, or when I guess they put on "american" accents to be funny

    After watching that episode, I have to say I agree. The previous episodes were more or less understandable, but here I only got the gist of what they were saying. Still, great show
