Videogames and TV are traditionally a... shit combinatio👍n. To use a technical term. UK channel Dave is hoping to change that using ardent gamer/comedian Dara Ó Briain and a fam⛎iliar format: get funny people in a room and make them do stuff.
In this case that meant things like making one person scream instructions at someone else wearing a 🅘blindfold while they try and play Tetris. It was fun. It was silly. People liked it.
That intro music is spectacular!! #Go8Bit
Go 8-bit is brilliant so far.
@stevemcneil Love your t shirt on Go 8 Bit! Just noticed it's from The Last of Us 😄👍🏻
Here's🐠 that Tဣ-shirt for reference (It's Ellie's one BTW):
It's just people playing games in a room, but it manages to cap༺ture what it is 𓄧about that that's so fun.
@daraobriain just watched Go 8 BitThank you, finally a videogame show that captures the fun of pissing about, playing games with your ma🐲tes
I am loving Go-8-Bit right now. Perfectly capturing the stress of team gaming. 😂😂❤
The format was well thought out, mixing bits of comedic trivia before making people play games for points. Usually with a fair bit of smack t𒐪alk in between. Things like dissing Street Fighter's frame rate while playing the original Tekken.
Ironically, after one team saying it was easy to win by croucꦿhing and kicking one side went on to do just that.
That Go 8 Bit Tekken match was genuinely the most tense sports coverage I've seen in a long time @d🅺araobriain. I need a drink
When your husband @7ties_child is shouting tekken moves 🌃at @daraobriain go 8 bit! Double ta𝔉p!
Brilliant #Tekken match on @daraobriain Go 8 bit @Join_Dave makes me want to dig out my copy again #ps1 #PlayStation #re🎉trogaming
@daraobriain I'm just glad Chuckie Egg was 8-bit 😉 that Tekken battle royale was "Perfect!" 👊🏼
It was basically people playing old games and making🌺 fun of each other on TV. Like a lot of people's living rooms only with a camera in it𝔍.
@d🍰araobriain go 8 bit is actually hilarious thanks for finally making a sho🌳w like this.
Dara O Briain's Go 8 Bit on Dave is such a great show 👾🎮
It wasn't all old stuff though with Star Wars Bat🍎tlefront popping up for a round. Things got quite heated.
Go 8 ꦉbit is the n🥂erdiest show i've ever seen and i love it.
Quite enjoying @daraobriain’s Go 8 Bit, but y’all played Battlefront on a Tatooine m꧅ap, not Jakku. Make it up to us with some Metal Gear pls
The finisher used a custom controller kit from to plaꦍy Bust-a-Move. On people. People that looked like this:
To be clear,𒁏 that's plꦆaying a game by touching people.
(Th🥃at's Cher on the left🌠 BTW, for no particular reason.)
Go 8 Bit is honestly... this show is glorious
This one tweet probabꦚly nails the intrinsically British appeal:&nbs🔯p;
Was initially not a fan of Go 8 Bit but then I realised that this is basically to eSports what A Quﷺestion of Sport is to normal sports.
You can watch it here if you fancy it.
Seen something newsworthy?
