Late Afternoon Video: Charlie Brooker's Gameswipe

I completely forgot about putting up a video last week mostly due to still being locked in a brutal knock-down, drag-out cage match with my white whale desktop, which spent the weekend BSODing whenever I gave it a glance it didn't care for. Apparently, after replacing almost all the hardware, a new problem arose and this time it was with Windows 7, meaning I had to once again burn my hard drive to the ground and start anew back with Vista. One of these days I hope to use my desktop for something other than a mechanical frustration inducer. Anyway, here's an amusing special on video games from British TV presenter Charlie Brooker:

Read This, Insect

This is quickly becoming a very interesting site. There is a new article over on Irrational Games' new site (Recently changing their name back after briefly being known as 2K Boston) in which Ken Levine reveals some behind-the-scenes tidbits about the production of System Shock 2, though the most fascinating thing I came away with is that the game was made in a short 11 months.

Catharsis

Spotted this over on Rock, Paper, Shotgun, a very interesting demonstration of a game created during this year's Global Game Jam. If you don't remember, Game Jams are where independent game developers gather and attempt to create games within a day or two, which explains the borrowed visuals, because the event is more about thinking up new gameplay ideas with proof-of-concept demonstrations. This game, titled GNILLEY, is almost entirely about screaming. I approve.
(Incidentally, this appears to be from the same fellow who created that small Zelda remake demo from a while back.)
