he writes satirically about games when he is clearly a super-casual gamer. he gets interviews with other super-casual gamers.

poor effort for a hasty cash-in, mr.brooker!

He wasn't.

I remember back in the 90's he was one of my favourite writers for PC Zone, back when it was a good PC games magazine.

He was anything but a casual gamer - who started his career as one of the founders of Computer Exchange.

he comes across as a bangwagon gamer who bought a 360 because it was the cool thing to do and then figured he knew enough about gaming to make a documentary about it.

^^ yeah, exactly.

and i mean, what the fuck, one of the main areas of 'sarcastic criticism' in the show was dara o'brien talking about games 'denying' him content by their 'difficulty'. his entire point was: 'i paid £40 for the full game and when i get stuck at 11% progress, i'm being ripped out of £35'. if that isnt a casual attitude to content and gaming, then i don't know what is-- and thoroughly unfunny, too. that's the reason world of warcraft has waned in quality and died: blizzard pandering to the casual noobs and making all the raid-instance content and all the gear accessible to everyone.

yah i remember his PC Zone days as well-- i read back some of his stuff retrospectively a few years ago.

but he still was 'casual'. writing for one of those magazines doesn't mean shit.

pc gamer is a shrine of world of warcraft with a super-casual community, for example.

and his opinions and 'focus' for satire seemed to be aimed at titles played by 13 year old girls, e.g. the sims.
I'd say being a writer for a PC games magazine and being a founding member of a shop like Computer Exchange shows he is, or at least was, a gamer. Not a hardcore gamer, but not a casual gamer either.

These days it seems he has become a casual gamer. Which is to be expected.

I remember a radio interview focusing mainly on games he did a while back where he came across very differently than in that Gameswipe thing - which was clearly for a casual gamer audience.

there are a whole lot of 'writers' for the pc games industry... doesn't mean anything.

same with the 'pundits'.

there's hardcore and then there's... not.

the market has diverged practically in half, though-- hardcore enthusiasts, hobbyists, competitors, old-school... casual console-satisfieds.
