I'm so sick of black mirror, its basically just Charlie Brooker invents a horrible scenario and then the show is going "WOULDN'T THAT BE HORRIBLE IF THAT HAPPENED? IMAGINE THAT, EY? IF THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO YOU" and thats the _entire_ show. Loved Screenwipe though
@@supremebuffalo6322 yeah. Too many episodes of "we're going to take a digital copy of you and do horrible things to it". Got a bit bored of it after a while.
Much like Valve busy making so much money with Steam to give us Half Life 3, Charlie Brooker is too busy making money with Black Mirror to give us new Screenwipe 😅
Except there’s an unfinished storyline that follows on directly from Half-life 2 episode 2 that we all invested in by playing 4 instalments of Half-life and following the story of Gordon Freeman. We want that story to come to a close. Alyx was a supporting character and not what people wanted.
Love the rant on inverted controls. My 10 year old and his friends laugh at me. I always say it's because the early 3d games were often flight simulators.
exactly what i was going to say. the first 'first person' view games were all flight sims as they could be slow. flight simulator the spectrum for example
Likewise for me. Air Combat on ps1 was of my earliest games that unintentionally trained me in to inverting the vertical axis and forever annoying who ever had to take over my controller when people out numbered controllers on a game night
His "Death to 202x" series are good too, especially all the made up characters played by celebrities. "If you don't believe me then here's an interview with a laboratory scientist, over to you, Pyrex Flask."
I moved back from Japan to Glasgow, and couldn't remember the name of Katamari - so I then explained the premise to the man that ran the wee shop - and I think he thought I had issues above and beyond the issues I did have.
100% agree re: inverted Y axis, that's the first thing I change whenever I start a new game. I think for me that came from playing lots of flight sims on my Amiga, pull back to go up. We didn't really look around in 3D worlds back then.
@@AntonGully Bloody hell, Anton Gully. Did you used to (or still?) comment on RPS? I recognise your avatar and name from somewhere in the past...! Also, invert Y guy here! You know, the flight sim link makes sense. Thinking back it might have been Top Gun on the ZX Spectrum for me, or Wings on the Amiga. Two of my friends constantly give me shit when a multiplayer first-person game doesn't have invert Y and I complain about it (Oh Deer for example), so I'm glad to hear Charlie ranting about it :D
I'm on the older side but only use inverted controls for planes / helicopters in games like Battlefield for example. But for just normal FPS stuff I don't.
His favourite game is old-school Doom, he likes Katamari, he's vehemently pro-inverted controls, he thinks Sonic is cooler than Mario... he's basically the British me. Except talented.
I remember reading Charlie’s writing in, I think it was PC Zone, back in the 90s, then ‘meeting’ him again with the hilarious Screen Wipe shows. Big fan.
I remember talking to Charlie many many years ago when he worked in this games shop near Oxford Circus, obviously I didn’t know it was him at the time but he was a funny lad back then too. I kinda followed him through his various guises, as a review for a pc magazine, into guardian and then probably clocked it was him about 15 years after that initial meeting.
Glad to know I'm still not alone in wanting portal 3 more than half life 3 (I can't get into those games and the more pressure to play it the less I want to).
Amen for the rant about Inverted Controls. It's one of the first thing I change... where you can... and if you can't the game may not get played much. But thanks Charlie for the recommendation of Return of the Obra Dinn.
Watching this Charlie Brooker's interview, I can't help but wonder if he might have traits of Asperger's or ADHD. His focused interests, detailed analysis, and rapid wit make me speculate about this. Don't get me wrong, I'm quite a fan of people with Asperger's like Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Nikola Tesla, Steve Jobs (assumed), and David Byrne. 😅 Although I would count Black Mirror as one of my favorite shows, I just came to look for an interview with the creator. I love Brooker's unique style and critical approach. His rants and deep dives into media and technology are fascinating. ❤ Has anyone come across any interviews where he discusses his neurological background? Regardless, his ability to critique modern society and technology so insightfully made me an instant fan of Black Mirror, and it seems I'll become a fan of Brooker as well. 😊
I sometimes wonder if Charlie ever gets sick of the bitter, angry, shouty, persona he’s cultivated over the decades, then you watch stuff like this and you realise it’s actually just an extension of himself and he’ll never be able to stop it, even if he wanted to 😂
He started meeting the people that were featured on the show. It was leading to awkward situations where he'd dished out some creative insults about them.
The one we're all in right now 😮😮😮 (in which Charlie has played some incredible obscure modern games but somehow mostly plays Tetris and thinks that Mario is the greatest character of all time, which is obviously a parody or AI simulation)
With you on the inverted controller, Charlie! I played so much Perfect Dark as a kid it set me that way, and whenever I played FPSs with my mates afterwards I'd piss them off with the inverted controls haha. I literally made the same argument "it's like your neck!"
@@orbita1 Yes, but he’s done none of it since Black Mirror. A lot of us would just love to see him return to his usual brand of journalistic commentary and satire.
Yeah it's like he's just been hiding for the last 9-10 years and suddenly returned! Loved Screenwipe/Newswipe but I just can't get into Black Mirror at all, just found it too bleak.
As another old gamer, I play inverted. The explanation is that inverters are controlling the head of the character, non-inverters are controlling the eyes.
The scary thing about Vampire Survivors is that the dev is a former gambling games designer who grew a conscious. He put all his experience and knowledge of gambling psychology into the game and it shows. If he had monetized his game to the max there would be a lot of gambling addicts and whales spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars in Vampire Survivors.
Worth noting that VS got a lot of positive publicity from being anti-Konami at launch and flaunting "legally not Castlevania" sprites. Now there's official Contra DLC. Times change.
I've always played with inverted controls. Was probably forced into it by a C64 or Amiga game and can't play any other way now. It used to drive my son nuts but one day it just clicked for him. He said he thought about the stick being his head. He's a full-time inverter now
I wish Charlie would make more wipe shows. Black Mirror is great but it's kinda run its course now. Even something else like a Dead Set would be interesting.
Baldur's Gate 3 is now the greatest game of all time. It's amazing how much development has improved in indie studios, despite the big companies trying to drive gaming into the dirt.
What some people erroneously think of as "regular" controls are, were, in fact, "inverted" from the regular way of pressing back to go up and forward to go down (because this is how a plane's or a submarine's controls make the vehicle dip or go up). Simple, really.
I miss Weekly Wipe and all the other shows Charlie appeared in like 10 O’Clock Live. His and David Mitchel’s funny and intelligent political rants are exactly what i need right now given the state of the world.
Absolutely spot on about controller Y axis. Pull BACK, push FORWARD. No idea why that flipped a few years back, old flight sims on 1980s computers, you pulled BACK on the joystick to RISE.
They both make sense, it’s just a different mental model. Like how scrolling is inverted on Mac vs PC, because the mental model is of grabbing the content, rather than moving a viewport. Inverted makes sense for me in flight games, because I’m controlling a vehicle, but my mental model of controlling a human body is different.
Forget Half Life 3, I want more screenwipe!
Or gameswipe or any kind of wipe…Charlie bookers face wipes… I’d take that!
Forget Screenwipe! I want more TVGoHome!
Definitely I miss Barry Shitpeas

Loved Screenwipe though
@@supremebuffalo6322Such an edgy opinion, you're different from everyone else.
@@supremebuffalo6322 This actually reads like something Charlie Brooker would say, also had his voice in my head when reading the speech marks 😆😆😆
@@supremebuffalo6322 yeah. Too many episodes of "we're going to take a digital copy of you and do horrible things to it". Got a bit bored of it after a while.
it's because he's not funny or interesting

Half Life Alyx is pretty much Half Life 3. Worth getting or borrowing a VR headset for imo.

love the subtle continous zoom as he spools up his rant about inverted controls
Loved his Screenwipe, Gameswipe & How Videogames Changed the World episodes! Any more Brooker content in that realm is more than welcome! 😁
His "Death to 202x" series are good too, especially all the made up characters played by celebrities. "If you don't believe me then here's an interview with a laboratory scientist, over to you, Pyrex Flask."
+ "How TV Ruined Your Life"
I have the outro theme from the videogames 'wipe' as my ringtone.
I moved back from Japan to Glasgow, and couldn't remember the name of Katamari - so I then explained the premise to the man that ran the wee shop - and I think he thought I had issues above and beyond the issues I did have.

@@mrpositronia The ones where he called up publishers pretending to be an angry customer? Classic.
@@TheBroz Yes. Richie Shoemaker created a playlist featuring them. Great stuff!
Loved that magazine

I would love Portal 3 voiced by Matt Berry
Please come back. You’re an absolute legend
Forgot how much I loved Charlie just ranting
Love the inverted control comments. Similar age to Charlie so probably explains why I play with inverted controls 😂

I love this man! More bloody Screenwipe please!!
i miss brooker's on-screen persona. i'd take more wipes over black mirror
Great to hear Charlie Brooker talk videogames! Wish you spliced in some actual game footage
HellOoooooOoooOooo there OSW!
I hope they told him about The Case of the Golden Idol
And Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, with Golden Idol and Obra Dinn: top 3 deduction games.
Came here to say the same thing. Case of the Golden Idol is superb.
Obra Dinn is sick. Definitely worth checking out, amazing fun.
Glad to know I'm still not alone in wanting portal 3 more than half life 3 (I can't get into those games and the more pressure to play it the less I want to).
I’m feeling so nostalgic right now. I have not seen Charlie Scream in my face for a really long time. I’m glad he is doing well.
Nice to see Return of The Obra Dinn getting some love. That was an incredibly creative and original game.
Portal 1 and 2 are brilliant. Try Portal Revolution and Portal stories: Mel too, great games!
Amen for the rant about Inverted Controls. It's one of the first thing I change... where you can... and if you can't the game may not get played much. But thanks Charlie for the recommendation of Return of the Obra Dinn.
Nice to see Charlie again, god know how many years its been. He seems to be doing well. :)
Charlie Brooker started playing UFO 50 shortly after...
I'd like to hear his deep dive on that game
Miss his rants. Glad to hear im not the only one who wants a sequel to Lego City Undercover. Still their best Lego game.

Ironies of ironies that he wants Portal 3 and we all want more screenwipe
A VR bionic commando style game, has similar mechanics to the spiderman games with the swinging, but more themed around shooting while singing.
They are not inverted controls, they are the correct controls.
Thank you Charlie for explaining inverted controls to these animals. Why is the opposite referred to as 'normal' in the game menus!?? Outrageous.
Charlie please return to our screens, I miss your non black mirror wit and non-metaphorical dark humour... ❤
The irony of that opening statement!
Why'd Charlie stop his Weekly Wipe?? Oh that's right, he had all that success with Black Mirror!!
He started meeting the people that were featured on the show. It was leading to awkward situations where he'd dished out some creative insults about them.
What is your favourite episode of Black Mirror?
The one we're all in right now 😮😮😮
(in which Charlie has played some incredible obscure modern games but somehow mostly plays Tetris and thinks that Mario is the greatest character of all time, which is obviously a parody or AI simulation)
The Entire History Of You.
Absolutely horrible tech that probably will come at one point.
Don't like it - It's boring compared to good sci-fi. I wish Charlie would go back to the Screenwipe formula
Either San Junipero, or Men Against Fire.
15 Million Merits
With you on the inverted controller, Charlie! I played so much Perfect Dark as a kid it set me that way, and whenever I played FPSs with my mates afterwards I'd piss them off with the inverted controls haha. I literally made the same argument "it's like your neck!"
If you don't like Black Mirror then it's like Charlie Brooker popped out of existence.
This video proves to me that he needs to come back *AND* make Gameswipe a series.
Not really, games wipe, newswipe, etc. He was a journalist for a while before. He's done loads
@@orbita1 Yes, but he’s done none of it since Black Mirror. A lot of us would just love to see him return to his usual brand of journalistic commentary and satire.
Yeah it's like he's just been hiding for the last 9-10 years and suddenly returned!
Loved Screenwipe/Newswipe but I just can't get into Black Mirror at all, just found it too bleak.
I wish there was a portal 3 too!
I miss this man’s rants.
Totally with Charlie on the inverted controller preference.
FINALLY AN EXPLANATION FOR INVERTED CONTROLS THAT MAKES SENCE!
Also flight controls irl are literally inverted.
Inverted controls for the win. Maybe there was an early game we all played that only latched onto a thin sliver of gamers?
As another old gamer, I play inverted. The explanation is that inverters are controlling the head of the character, non-inverters are controlling the eyes.
Harrier Du Bois is the coolest character from any game. If you know the character you know 🌇🍾
The scary thing about Vampire Survivors is that the dev is a former gambling games designer who grew a conscious. He put all his experience and knowledge of gambling psychology into the game and it shows.

4:55 - As a fellow inverted Y-axis player, I approve this message.
I've always played with inverted controls. Was probably forced into it by a C64 or Amiga game and can't play any other way now.
It used to drive my son nuts but one day it just clicked for him. He said he thought about the stick being his head. He's a full-time inverter now
Favourite game of all time? Streets of Rage 2.
Not even a question.
"Hello, i'm Charlie Brooker, and I married prime Konnie Huq !" 🤪
I'll never forgive him
He signed my copy of one of his old books which I still have at home...it says "happy bloody birthday G"
Thanks for bringing up Obra Dinn What a fantastic game
I always think of 'that' Tomb Raider cartoon he drew for PC Zone, when I think of Charlie Brooker.
Me & Charlie repping the invert Y-axis crew
Yearly Wipe 2024 please
Vampire Survivors has such a satisfying gameplay. loop
Return of the Obra Dinn was also great.
For me it feels too much like predatory addicting design that irks my brain a little. More addicting than fun i guess
@@damianabregba7476 isn't fun itself addicting in a way? after all, we're almost all always seeking fun.
Couldn't agree more with the inverted controllers sentiment. Also inverted scrolling on Macbook.
We love Katamari hell yeah brothaa
I wish Charlie would make more wipe shows. Black Mirror is great but it's kinda run its course now. Even something else like a Dead Set would be interesting.
Love that he's playing Katamari Damacy. It's in my top 3.
Inverted controls FTW
If you don’t play inverted, your brain is wrong. It used to be the standard years ago, now it’s the opposite. Madness
100%. It’s a constant annoyance that it’s not the default.
Heathens all of you
"I play on inverted controls" is the most pointless inconsequential badge of honour ever
@@BarryRerack147 haha true, but it’s all I’ve got 😂
I'm 100% behind him with inverted controls. Old games used it and didn't give us a choice so we had to learn.
I use inverted controls because I used to play Ace Combat a lot, & figured I might as well have the y axis inverted in everything else.
Absolutely on board 150% on the inverted controls point. It's the only proper way 👍
Balatro is one of the best recent games, and it has no story, no characters, its just a game.
Return Of The Obra Dinn was brilliant. Everyone should give it a go.
Mr biffo is looking a lot smarter today
I miss him :(
I used to use inverted controls, but then I used keyboard and mouse for ages and it's kinda trained my brain into using normal.
Now I wonder if Charlie has crated a black mirror episode inside gta 6 as a mission ;)
More Weekly Wipe!!!!
Quake 3 on the Dreamcast has inverted controls as default so that's my excuse for still going into the options before playing any FPS :)
Baldur's Gate 3 is now the greatest game of all time. It's amazing how much development has improved in indie studios, despite the big companies trying to drive gaming into the dirt.
I'm so happy that Charlie loves Katamari
Finally, another advocate of inverted controls!! 😃👍
No one holds the controller where the sticks would be up/down, they're fwd/bwd, Charlie is right as always
Missing screenwipe. Another gamewipe maybe!?
Whatever happened to the yearly round ups? They made too much money doing Black Mirror is what happened!
100% on the inverted vertical and my exact reasoning :-)
The Katamari games are incredible. I waited ages for We ❤ Katamari to come out... But I must say, the first one on PS4 has more charm.
Was it PC format Charlie wrote for back in the day, or was it a Amiga oe ST mag, i can see the colum but i cannot quite remember which mag it was.
PC Zone
@@krashd PC Zone, i subscribed to that for years, how did i forget about it. lol Cheers. ;)

I knew he was going to say Doom. Charlie, can we be friends?
Inverted ❤️ 5:01
Absolutely spot on about controller Y axis. Pull BACK, push FORWARD. No idea why that flipped a few years back, old flight sims on 1980s computers, you pulled BACK on the joystick to RISE.
Inverted controls 4 life 🤘
How we’ve missed screenwipe ❤
Inverted controls for the WIN
Man, his head looks huge
Inverted controls are the only controls that make sense!
They both make sense, it’s just a different mental model. Like how scrolling is inverted on Mac vs PC, because the mental model is of grabbing the content, rather than moving a viewport.
