Oh hey you wonderful BritToiders! This episode looks more into the current decline of GAME and its announced move into administration. I know we've been going on about this for ages but it's kind of a big deal and could be really life changing for thousands of employees that will potentially loose their jobs :( On a brighter side, we talk about the confirmed UK tax breaks for developers, which is awesome news! We also have a bit of a game BAFTAs recap along with the usual general nonsense.

Oh hey there! It's that time again for some wonderful European magic. We have a full cast this week (yay) and after rambling on about games and stuff, we talk a little more about the current situation with UK retailer GAME. We then move on to the EU-wide ban on game tax breaks, which is another pretty heavy topic, sorry guys, but it's good to know about at least. Ending on a more fun note, we round things up by talking about the new Raspberry Pi, which is a really teenie weenie computer that you can do basic coding on.

It's not too late to do a 2011 recap right? Well it is still January, so myself and the BritToid team decided to look back before we move forward into 2012. We picked a whole bunch of categories to discuss and believe me, there are many disagreements along the way... *cough* n0brein - you crazy German. We wanted to make sure that we covered as many areas as possible without going on for hours, which was extremely difficult. The ones we decided on were: Most Pretentious Game It's not all about us though. We want to know what you would pick for the categories above, so either comment here or head to the forums and let's start a fight!

Well hello there wonderful Destructoid people. It's that time of week again... BritToid episode 21 is here! After doing our weekly game round up we recap the happenings from last week's Namco vs Capcom fight club, which was also covered by Justice. We then take a look at the growing popularity in TV game adverts, in particular ones that don't just contain game footage. The discussion concludes with the recent events from the Houses of Parliament and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Haters gonna Hate. The music tracks for this week are both by Eternal Tango - The Ghost of Mary Read and Coincidence dies in C.

Well hello there fine men and women of Destructoid, I am very pleased to announce episode 20 of BritToid is now available! How exciting! As always we begin by rounding up what we have enjoyed playing this week, which is actually quite varied but there is some conflict around Assassin's Creed Revelations, with some hinting at some of the events in the game but we were sure to steer away from any spoilers. We then take a look at some of the new games announced for the PS Vita, and choose what our ideal first games would be from the list announced last week. The title for this week comes from the next topic we talk about, which is the recent article in the British tabloid newspaper The Sun about Xbox Live hacking. The lovely music tracks for this week are Amon Tobin - Bloodstone and Venetian Snares - Öngyilkos Vasárnap Direct download: Episode_20__Keep_calm_and_dont_stare_at_the_sun.mp3 Category:general -- posted at: 1:37 PM |

Hello and good day Lords and Ladies, I am pleased to announce the latest episode of BritToid! We have said our goodbyes to Miss Hollie Bennett and the team has now welcomed me into their world of crazy. This episode begins with a quick round up of what we've been playing along with a few questions for me on important topics such as zombie apocalypse items and videogame guilty pleasures. As always, the conversation does tend to go off into strange unknown places, but we do aim to talk about the recent trend in videogame music concerts, the GMAs and the BAFTA kid's choice award amongst other ramblings.

So here it is ladies and gentalmen, not only my very last BritToid but also my very last front page post as staff here at Destructoid. As of tomorrow I will be the new Consumer and Community PR for Namco Bandai in the UK. On a quick personal note I would like to say thank you to all of those who showed me love and support when I discovered I was nominated for the Games Media Rising Star award. Sadly I didn't win but I would never have gotten where I am today if it wasn't for the unbelievably amazing community here at Destructoid; It has indeed been an honour that I cannot thank you enough for. I'm going to miss you all like crazy but please make sure you keep up with me on twitter! It was incredibly sad putting together this episode and looking back I only wish I had started BritToid sooner so that I could have helped it grow even more than it has already. I want to thank all of you have listened to BritToid over the last year or more and for all the amazing support we have received; it isn't easy when PodToid is your big brother. Yet fear not, BritToid will indeed continue with the addition of Becca Roberts, Destructoid new European focused PR -- good luck Becca, you are going to need it and don't let Gandy pick on you.
