Charlton "Charlie" Brooker (born 3 March 1971) is an English satirist and broadcaster. He has worked in television, radio, print and online media. In addition to writing credits for programmes such as "Brass Eye", "The 11 O'Clock Show" and "Nathan Barley", Brooker has presented a number of television shows, including Screenwipe, Gameswipe, Newswipe, Weekly Wipe, and 10 O'Clock Live.

Brooker's style of humor is acerbic, savage, profane, and often controversial with surreal elements and a consistent satirical pessimism. In this short video Brooker gives us an insight into the world of video games. He delivers this presentation in a distinctive style, often joking at his own expense.

This documentary provides a short history of video games and their development. It also deals with the growing issue of the explicit content in certain video games and the gamer profiles which such games attract.
