Anyway, series two of their TV show Videogaiden is now on TV, or a part of the TV called BBC Scotland at least, and you can also watch it on the internet if you live in the right part of the world.
So here's something about it.
Like we always thought it would be, Videogaiden is two podgy blokes with regional accents being all blokey about games while wearing cheap costumes.
Their big thing is a 'Make Shenmue III' campaign. Lots of people emailed us about this suggesting we join in. Sadly, Shenmue is shit and we hope SEGA never makes another one as it would cost too much money and no one would buy it again, just like last time. Also, if we were to do anything about Shenmue III we would have done it five years ago when it was relevant. Consider this a 'contribution' to the debate.
Anyway, the show's quite watchable even though it's 'A Bit YouTube' in places. And it's nice to see men who know the subject doing stuff about the subject, instead of a cheap version of Kate Thornton reading out the back of the box.
You can see it on TV if you live in Scotland or have the internet. It's not bad. It might even be funny if you can understand their weird Scottish words and sayings. We didn't laugh at it, but that might be because we're bitter about it not being us on the telly being all wacky and wearing wigs. Or maybe it's supposed to be more about games than funny.
Whatever. Nothing will replace Dominik Diamond :(
A site about games and game paraphernalia and how nothing's as good as we remember it, probably because we used to inhabit a FANTASY WORLD.

You are dead to me, UK:R.
Yu Suzuki made Outrun for crying out loud! How could you not love his unfinished tale of revenge!
You're the voice of Sega fans everywhere. How could you betray us by saying such a horrible thing!?
Sega would be better off spenjing that money making new Alex Kidd and WonderBoy games. Plus a nice new Xbox Live version of Daytona USA.
But the show is nowhere near as good as their previous efforts. Infact I wouldn't believe they were even made by the same people, The Rapture TV forums has a great topic about it.
YOU CAN'T PLAY AND FINISH A MASTERPIECE LIKE SHENMUE BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH BALLS TO PLAY IT.
On behalf of too many die hard Shenmue fans.
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW ME-SHAME ON U!
Why am I bothering to explain to people who think it makes them cool to not know anything about what they they are talking about? A bit like people who are proud of having never seen Star Wars.
I wonder who will get the oscar.
I never played Shenmue, but from what I read about it I never even thought "damn, I wish I had the relevant hardware to play Shenmue, and also a copy of Shenmue to play on it." Of course, I never think that about Zelda games either, so maybe I'm just a big wrong gay.
Did anyone even pay attention? Did anybody actually watch it?
Jesus fucking Christ, this is like when people lambasted Canis Canem Edit (Bully, to you) without ever playing it.
People on the internets (a series of tubes, to you) are seriously stupid, sometimes.
I think we should all start a new petition to bring Daytona USA to Xbox Live.
Also one to stop Sega making more shitty Sonic games until they learn that Sonic will never, ever work in 3D.
Retire the Hedgehog and bring Back the Kidd!
