Sleepless Nights

Dear Future Gamer,

In your Hacker section, you mention (slightly sarcastically) a computer show called Cybernet. I happen to be one of the sad people who actually stay up or even video this show because I actually think it is one of the best computer shows that has been on TV.

The reason I say I am a sad person is because of the time this programme is shown. I mean, who would normally stay up until 3.30am on a Friday morning (or is that 3.30am on a Thursday night?) to watch a TV programme about computer games? Come on ITV, get your act together. Some of us have other things to do such as sleeping, playing Quake 3 etc...

FG: Slightly sarcastically? Surely not. Let's be candid, 3.30am is an insult. A graveyard. Videogaming is one of the most popular pursuits in the country and the very notion of public service broadcasting should ensure that the BBC covers gaming as part of its remit. At least ITV are making an effort, albeit at an ungodly hour...

Got an opinion or a question? Write to me at andy.smith@futurenet.co.uk...
