Prepping the next episode recording of the podcast with an amazing guest (which will be out in November) and I find this comic strip in the pages of Crash issue 35.

Do you see what I see? Is that THE Charlie Brooker? I know he worked for OINK! Is this an early appearance?

As you might have guessed from previous episodes, I'm a bit of an F1 fan so a video like this will always grab my attention. Check it out if, like me, you have an interest in F1 as well as video games.

Time to take the channel in a different direction and look at F1 video games
