Wow, reading some of the comments here makes me think two things:

Brooker is an ex-games journalist, an award winning reporter, an award winning TV writer and a fantastic journalist who has produced, written and starred TV shows on videogame history and culture.

Satire in spoken form is a little too much for the poor bairns, so I would imagine it in written form to be as confusing as gay marriage.

Jesus some people just don't get satire do they.

You've never read him before - he was a games journalist for years, and now works as a satirist and TV show writer.

You produce a some amazing motorsport drivers.

Wow, I've not seen that film in years.

I'm not a hardcore fighting game player but have loved the DOA series, also really enjoyed the Ninja Gaiden series, (but then I've been playing those since the NES).

Started Eureka last night, (after aimlessly searching for a nzb called A Town Called Eureka).
