I recently heard that Yahtzee's proposed TV show, game Damage, sadly, kinda died and won't be coming around as a full blown TV show.
I'm disappointed to say the least. Judging for the pilot, there was a lot of potential here. I heard some people compare said pilot to Top Gear and there is some truth there: Top Gear works becuase it has three hosts of three distinctive personalities and seeing them interact is part of the fun. Having that formula transfer into a gaming show would've worked a treat.
When i first saw the pilot I thought it was great as came across as being put together by people who knew exactly what they were talking about. They had humorous asides but there was a lot of red-hot info that wasn't clogged down by odd moments that were a) puzzling or b) lame attempts at humour. Having being disillusioned with Good game (at the time) for this reason, i was all set to support Game Damage.
But sadly it looks like it won't be happening. Ironically however, recently Good Game is getting better - even more watchable - with more emphasis on the gaming and less emphasis on the bullshit. Looks like Bajo and Hex get the last laugh....
