We love console gaming too, because we’re not idiots.

This is a PC specific blog, and I was trying to find excuses for posting an excellent video that really wasn’t.

See FAQ for “why aren’t you a multiformat blog” questions:

The point is not that we don’t take an interest in console games, but that we are specifically taking an interest in PC games. Everyone is doing multiformat, console-focused coverage, and that’s precisely why RPS exists.

I don’t know why you don’t just give up and admit that – albeit rarely – consoles do things worth writing about…

It’s all a bit cloak and dagger isn’t it?

“Can’t talk about the 3rd game much”

“Can’t divulge who the publisher is”

Why? because they haven’t told their mum and might get wrong?

This is where the magic comes from eh? I think a part of me just died.

So, given the time delay did this actually have the scoop on The Ship 2? (which would obviously make it even more relevant to PC gamers)

That’d be you, Mr. Wonderstuff. They do make use of a lot of black and white in Consolevania but not for whole episodes. Check your codecs, maybe?

Great lads at Consolvania. Hoping for a new series of VideoGaiden. Is it me or are all Consolvania videos black and white?

Hush you – it went up on their site on the 27 Aug, and then things went wrong. So it hasn’t had much exposure.

Incidentally, I’m a little bit drunk, so any inaccuracies or spelling mistakes in the above post can be attributed to that. But at least I’m not trying to sell you virtual tat, eh!

Nice to see RPS on the ball here – what, only a few weeks out of date (or a couple, in the case of the online version).

Ignoring the whole finger-to-the-pulse reporting thingummy – am I the only person who ended up feeling really sorry for Denki games? It was a fairly bleak piece in general, but Denki (perhaps thanks to being headed by mr. Penn) felt most squandered a group of people.
