This is great.

It's a few Glaswegian (Scottish) guys who make their own online half hour games show now and again.

They have a bit of a cult following and last year were commissioned for a 6 part BBC version of the show called VideoGaiden which is how I found them.

They have just released a 'shot in one day' show about independant gaming. Really funny. Have a download.

btw, the 'new games journalism' they refer to near the end is a UK 'movement' in games writing that is often slagged off. The writer writes the piece about how he FELT playing the game and the EXPERIENCE of doing so - rather than covering features and the like. NGJ was started by this guy here (http://gillen.cream.org/wordpress_html/) and he recently opened a review of a game with references to Shelly (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=65579).

Highly recommend the download. If you need translation :-p I can help.
