Still Watching

I’ve stopped following gaming news for years, but I still catch GameOne whenever I can. It’s not really about the games. Budi and Simon get fifteen minutes of MTV and they fill it with something unguarded—ideas that don’t quite land, jokes that work sideways, the specific comedy of two people genuinely figuring it out as they go. It’s the opposite of polished. It’s just them.

Then summer break comes and the show stops, which is when you realize how much you were watching it. They kept it going online—GameOne.de, Twitter, the usual spots—and somehow it doesn’t feel smaller. I still tune in sometimes even though I’m not who it’s technically for anymore, but something about them just keeps working.
