    I'm not sure if any of you guys know about this great Internet Only games show called Consolvania made by a few Scots in Glasgow. The show is for adults and will offend some people with the language used. The show's makers are "Real" gamers and collectors like ourselves. THey review games by telling you up front what they think about a title. If it's shite they'll tell you it's shite and why. One of my fav' sections of the show is Hitler's Bunker" In this episode he buys a game from the shop GAME only to be angered. He ends up going to GAME to complain. Great stuff. I've made a small video of Hitler's Bunker which you can download from my FTP. The file name is called Consolevania - Hitler's Bunker.avi If you like that then why not download the full show from http://www.consolevania.com

    I downloaded a huge (700 mb) Consolevania .avi (I think, couldve been mpeg too) from Bittorrent... and it rocks! :smt023
    Bit hard for me to fully understand what they're saying with their heavy accents. Especially another round of the Shenmue Drinking Game :drinkers:

    Anyway, havent watched it in full yet, do you know if that hitler bunker thing is also in the big 700mb movie?

    There are two episodes of Consolevania and both have Hitlers Bunker. In the first Consolevania they have Hitler giving Bill Gates a hard time :smt023 The second Consolevania is only 400 odd Meg for the MPEG version.

    Nobody understands Scots... that's why you'll never seem to meet any in person.

    I talked to Nintendomad on the phone once. Found it quite a challenge to understand his Scotish accent :smt024 I used to love the Scotish TV show on BBC2 called Rab C.Nesbit. that was so funny. His mate Jamie Cotter was great too :smt033

    Bad Influence was a Videogames TV show....I won a t-shirt in a competition with them once ^_^ Violet Berlin was the female presenter....I can't remember the male one but I am assuming it was that other guy mentioned.

    My father was born in Scotland.....and he loved to watch Rab C Nesbitt.

    Best part was he would have to watch it with subtitles :smt043

    Unfortunately Rab C hasn't been on BBC Scotland for ages....these days two guys who make a program called Chewinthefat(slang for 'talking about something') and "Still Game" (slang for willing to do something - usually something stupid or mad) are the best thing on TV.

    My wife ran a national competition and got the guys to do a promo for her compo.....their videos are here:

    The guys are hilarious and even better than Rab and Jamesy.....They've become a national instituation in Scotland...probably more famous than any national celebrity in Scotland...!
