This was the return of Digital Gonzo after many months hiatus in mid-2011. It was a discussion show all about video games that aren't great but have some good stuff to be found within.

[Digital Gonzo 2011]
The retro-quiz madness continues with a close look at the TV commercials that aired in Britain throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s. Blue Captain Michael Fox of Joypod returns, as does Red Captain Neil Taylor of GameBurst and the KDS show. Duncan O’ Sullivan of the DC community comes back for the first time since our cartoon show and we finally get on for his first full Gonzo show one Mr Tony Atkins of Digital Cowboys.
If you remember Britain in the 80’s and 90’s then you will absolutely adore this twisted, bouncing, wild ride down memory lane.

Movie Cliches
Wednesday Jan 05, 2011
Wednesday Jan 05, 2011
[Digital Gonzo 2011]
In this show I'm joined by Neil Taylor and James Batchelor of GameBurst along with regular Gonzo guest Matt Ramsey.
Part of the inspiration for this show came from reading Ebert's Bigger Little Movie Glossary: A Greatly Expanded and Much Improved Compendium of Movie Cliches, Stereotypes, Obligatory Scenes, Hackneyed, Shopworn Conventions and Outdated Archetypes (available from all good book shops or indeed on Amazon)
It is a compilation of multiple submissions from Ebert's own fanbase edited into an alphabetical compendium. For the show today I formed the best of these into four sections; Horror/Action/Rom-Com and Old Hollywood. My guest's job is to listen to the first part of the cliche's I read them and fill in the rest themselves, citing examples and rare exceptions. It's pretty goddamn hilarious.

Never Mind the BuzzGeeks: 80s Cartoons
Monday Jan 03, 2011
Monday Jan 03, 2011
[Digital Gonzo 2011]
The first instalment of our pop quiz show episodes based on the winning format of long-running and superb British music quiz; Never mind the Buzzcocks.. This one was centred around 80s cartoons, others include commercials, music, toys and a special episode on the 90s.
If you used to watch Transformers, Thundercats and the Ninja Turtles (or if you still do) you will love this episode. If, however you remember the obscure ones like Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors and Captain N: The Game Master then this will evoke so many memories you may go completely 2D! If you're too young to have been there first time, be prepared for confusion, and learning a thing or two about the old timers.
This was one of the most fun podcasts I've ever had the pleasure to record. I was joined by Michael Fox of Joypod, Neil Taylor of GameBurst and DC forumites Matt Ramsey and Duncan O Sullivan. We laughed so hard it hurt. Stick around for the end for a buffet of Easter Eggs at the end.
Our aim is to have you intermittently laughing, groaning in recognition, going all misty-eyed and shouting at your iPod, so if that happens; job done.

World War Z
Sunday Jan 02, 2011
Sunday Jan 02, 2011
[Digital Gonzo 2011]
The book, not the rubbish movie. This time we tackle 'World War Z', an oral history of the Zombie apocalypse that claimed the lives of the majority of mankind. The show was originally broadcast in early 2011.
The most important word here is "World" and this truly is a globe-spanning, culturally sensitive, intelligent and fearless piece of work. It unexpectedly drops the zombies into the background of the social upheaval and focuses on the people involved in the conflict and the various decisions from individuals and nations that lead to events both catastrophic and life-saving.
Once again, my guests are Neil Taylor of GameBurst and Matt Ramsey, then of the DC forums. Our biggest hope in all of this is that we will encourage as many of you as possible to pick up the superb book and audio book for yourselves. They are available along with the survival guide from Amazon and all other good book stores.

The Zombie Survival Guide
Saturday Jan 01, 2011
Saturday Jan 01, 2011
[Digital Gonzo 2011]
This is the first of two review shows based around books about the undead by Max Brooks. It was originally broadcast in early 2011.
They are written in a factual style, so we have taken an equally factual approach to discussing their contents. This is effectively a 90-minute primer of need-to-know information in case of an emergency situation (however unlikely it may seem) that involves the walking dead.
Neil Taylor and Matt Ramsey join me for some serious zombie talk.
