While reading the Daily Star Sunday i saw this little bit of text in DD's column.

"I'm off next week, for the first Sunday in the history of this Column. The reason? I'm off to make a bit of telly of my own in California which might just possibly be of interest to those who creamed thier pants over a certain video games show back in the day... Thats all i can say just now. And not just because we're pissing about and making a lot of it up on the spot. (only joking, Bravo!)"

So are we going to be seeing a all new video games show on Bravo? Or have Ch4 sold the right to Bravo for GamesMaster? I really hope its the latter!

Excellent. Let's hope it'll be a glorious return to form and not some inevitable slip down the chute of poop. Get Games Animal up there too.. in fact, it would win brownie points if there was a second of the programme where Dominik and Dave Perry argued about videogames in general, followed by, er, a knife fight.

But Diamond doesn't actually know that much about video games in all honesty, so his presence would be nothing more than a token nod to those of us who still remember GamesMaster.

IMO!!!!1111

True. But what made GamesMaster good was him taking the pee out of everything and everyone.

Dominic Diamond just has this talent for making the subject of computer games utterly hilarious. It's been a while since I last bigged it up but I used to mention it all the time, he did an excellent and very hilarious book about computer games 16-bit era. Very funny.

I'd like to see him on TV again talking about gaming.

Agreed. Especially the piss-taking eyebrow movement whenever Dave Perry tried to explain stuff. Class.

Reading that and remembering (a probably) exagerrated emphasised eyebrow moment has just made me spit my Rocky biscuit all over the keyboard.

Brilliant.

What? He's got tubby or something? I remember he was always making odd jokes on Gamesmaster about being fat ("I've come as Eddy Honda" then he grabbed not-actually-that-much flab from beneath his shirt) but if he's now got massive then that's not so great...

The best thing about GamesMaster was the fact that Dominik's expertise lay in comedic timing and knowing how to make the people doing the donkey work as far as the knowledge bit went look good... because otherwise, they'd all have looked like nerds. Except for Rik Henderson and Kirk Ewing, who managed to have enough talent to handle both. Without Dom, the show would have been... well, rubbish. And while he knew enough stuff to get by, he didn't try to pretend he knew more which made it seem all the more real. Otherwise, he'd have looked like those arses on Gamesville who act like they know their stuff, when they actually know shit all besides what's written on the script.

Damn, that makes me angry. :)

And the name of this book is?
