As a human being with eyes and access to the internet I’ve noticed a lot of talk about Charlie Sheen’s “media breakdown” in the news lately – this website being no exception.
But for those of you sick of Sheen I’d like to point out that all of this Tiger Blood bullcrap is just a new name for an old game – the game of the UK’s very own Craig Charles!
A big part of growing up in the 90s is being able to fondly recall sitting down after dinner in front of the intense remote-controlled mortal combat of Robot Wars; then later on in the evening watching in awe at how cool Dave Lister managed to be despite living on a spaceship devoid of any female contact.
