Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw interview on Not Quite Art

Painkiller sales tripled? What's 3 times fuck all? It is a fun game, but it doesn't mean much if 4 million people watch it and instead of 1 sale, they get 3. I always thought his material worked better if you've played the games, but to be honest I didn't think he realised this or perhaps wanted to realise this. Fair dues for seeing it as it is (or at least how I see it, which is the most important thing

).

Rugil, it's the interviewer who mentioned "moving units" (2:12). I thought he did come across as reasonably humble (e.g. the novelty of him saying something positive).

Jimmy Carr is the Original Gangster

>> ^dgandhi:
This and QI have got to be the cheapest TV productions this side of Faux News, and yet we in the US can't manage to cobble together half a dozen celebs who can manage to be more extemporaneously interesting than hollywood squares. It makes me laugh, but the quality gap saddens me.

There's plenty of others, of varying quality (Have I Got News For You, Mock the Week and at times Never Mind the Buzzcocks are good). I was wondering the other day why all the quiz-coms (that's what our schedulers seem to want us to call them) are British. It's a simple format, get a topic (current affairs, public opinion, music, whatever), a host who's good at improvised comedy and several similarly minded guests and make sure all of them have an IQ of above 50. 8 out of 10 cats fails occasionally on the last requirement (Kelly Osbourne, for example). I don't know if it's been tried in the US or elsewhere. I can imagine American producers getting Kevin Federline and Paris Hilton as guests and then wondering why it bombs.

You have got The Big Bang Theory, which makes up for a lot.

Chris Rock about Obama 2008

I saw this whole show on TV about a week ago, very good show. It was obviously before the election but after Obama won the primaries. I think it was during the summer, but I don't remember any specific context. It was recorded in America (New York IIRC), London and South Africa, it's a little confusing when it cuts.
