LULZ: Charlie Brooker Insults Older Man Over PS4
An hilarious 'news item' or Channel 4 advert make excruciating TV fare.
UK games hero and professional ironic curmudgeon Charlie Brooker has a TV show coming up about video games on Saturday night in the UK (more here). He took the chance and a high pitched voice to hector an older man who had never played video games in order to advertise that show. LULZ.
Of course, the alternative view is that the old man was a Jon Snow, Channel 4 newscaster and a man who should have done some research before making ill-informed comments while playing on a PS4 on PS4 launch day. One thing is true: Sony got a chunk of TV time to advertise PS4; Charlie Brooker got a chunk of TV time to advertise his credentials for his Saturday show; Jon Snow was able to look all human and not stiff necked; in short: everybody won. Watch the hilarity below:

His high-pitched voice is rather annoying.

The biggest omission from Mr. Brookers' excellent feature was more a political posturing - i.e. he could not include 'Dance Dance Revolution' for #13, as the assorted talking heads would never have admitted knowing this influential game let alone playing it, and it was easier to talk about 'Parappa the Rapper', a choice that seems to have been the biggest problem with the whole program (shame it was so rushed).
