[Messypandas]

Urgh. I guess the Jon Snow interview was the indictation

 

[Angel Abaddon]

Hah, Brooker just trolled the entire audience.

 

[LTWheels]

Haha, Brilliant!

 

[Yen]

Haha, Brooker said this on the C4 interview.

 

[hal9001]

Nvm.

 

[BGBW]

Oh I get it because trolling is part of gaming culture and this is the troll.

At least make it Miiverse.

 

[Masked_Ninja]

Hell nah!

 

[lefantome]

Lolwut?


Btw wii u isn't next gen confirmed by charlie

 

[The Cowboy]

LOL, it actually makes total sense.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Dat Postmodernism.

 

[Mman235]

Incoming salt

Oops too late.

 

[Randomizer]

Come the fuck on. What a load of balls.

 

[CackleAndHide]

Disappointing number 1!

Spoiler

twitter!?

 

[Alienous]

The only game on Twitter is trying desperately, and futilely, to get a PS4.

Bullshit.

Where the fuck is Metal Gear Solid?

Pokemon?

I piss on this list.

 

[Chinner]

Oh I get it because trolling is part of gaming culture and this is the troll.

let me guess, no 1 should have been animal crossing?

 

[Messofanego]

...and we're done here.

This is not a competition, lol.

There's quite a bit of gaming psychology that went on behind how social networks were made.

 

[Chipotle]

lol brilliant!

 

[LordJim]

So, the whole show was set up for what they thought was clever meta commentary on gaming community?

 

[spirity]

Christ. A brilliant show, and it took a giant shit at the last step. No1 is absolute bollocks, haha.

 

[Atrophis]

Twitter is a blight on society. It should not be celebrated.

 

[Dusk Golem]

I tuned in to Last of Us, and then Twitter.

Well.

 

[Heimbeck]

Next he will be telling us we are all going to be playing on Phones and Tablets and the only way to play is to sign in using Facebook.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Charlie, you are a troll lol.

Spoiler

It's working already.

 

[defel]

Disappointing number 1!

Spoiler

twitter!?

Congrats to Twitter for winning the chronological rankings!

 

[Reus]

He's actually right. When I started watching this, I was enticed to go on twitter after not using it for a couple of weeks and I didn't know why. He has great points.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Number 1 was a dumb choice.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

So, the whole show was set up for what they thought was clever meta commentary on gaming community?

The whole show? No, the list is in chronological order.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Well if Twitter is a game then the only thing id say it has in common with something like say Minecraft, is I just don't get it at all.

 

[Casual Gamera]

#lol

 

[BGBW]

let me guess, no 1 should have been animal crossing?

Come on Chinner. One Animal Crossing would have been earlier because it was a late N64 game and secondly I said what it should have been on the previous page.

Twitter is a game for celebrities. Thanks for that rapper called maze.

 

[Messofanego]

Charlie Brooker is not a prick. CONFIRMED

 

[Alienous]

Matt Lees was a writer on the show?

It ... shows.

 

[Baleoce]

The only thing I'd criticize about #1 is the fact they said specifically Twitter.. instead of social media. Which I think was the general point being made.

 

[tamaster92]

Remember indie game the movie is on after this - it's pretty amazing if very pretentious

 

[LTWheels]

Good list imo. Only think I think was missing is counterstrike for mods into retail games, and dota for creating that genre.

 

[EvB]

Congrats to Twitter for winning the chronological rankings!

I wonder how many outrageous posts will go by before people twig this?

 

[Heimbeck]

The only game on Twitter is trying desperately, and futilely, to get a PS4.

Bullshit.

Where the fuck is Metal Gear Solid?

Pokemon?

I piss on this list.

No Gears of War or Halo either.
Some odd omissions from this list.

 

[jimbobsmells]

Gamification. Interesting.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Pokemon?

I piss on this list.

I think they've had to tread a fine line between influence, popularity, and making sure each "era" got enough time. I can understand some popular games being excluded for more "influential" ones within reason, and the only one I have a big issue with is Pokemon, which is simply a baffling omission.

I think the age of the writers has something to do with this, with the 80s/early 90s and mid-to-late 00s focus.

 

[Alienous]

Are we staying for Indie Game: The Movie, lads?

 

[Nerdkiller]

The only thing I'd criticize about #1 is the fact they said specifically Twitter.. instead of social media. Which I think was the general point being made.

Yeah, same here. The mere mention of Twitter just makes my blood boil.

 

[LordJim]

The whole show? No, the list is in chronological order.

I know it is in chronological order.
The point was what you even include in the list.
Might as well go 'LIFE IS A GAME' for 1 and be done with it

 

[Yen]

Charlie Brooker ‏@charltonbrooker
Yes, it is.

 

[StealthGoblin]

Why does the image quality of the games they show on TV always look shitty?

Can't they just show games running at the quality we are used to?

 

[BGBW]

Remember indie game the movie is on after this - it's pretty amazing if very pretentious

It also has a hilarious scene of Blow crying as Soulja Boi enjoys his game for the wrong reasons.

 

[K.Sabot]

Dilbert3 flashbacks.

 

[boeso]

NeoGAF a game confirmed?

 

[Reus]

Hyped to watch Indie Game now after that.

 

[spirity]

Aaanyway, apart from the last pick, this was a really really good show. Thoroughly enjoyed it and was a nice trip down memory lane.
