Line 2: [[File:TVTropes_9606.png\|frame]] {{quote\| ''"[[Catch Phrase\|There's more to life than the MachineCAST, and that's why you listen to it.]] Thank you very much for listening, and have a great weekend."''\|Kit Harrison, as he ends every episode.}} ~~-- Kit Harrison, as he ends every episode.~~ The [[MachineCAST]] (or 'CAST for short) is a weekly video gaming podcast by British writer Kit Harrison that goes out on Fridays. Content varies between rants in which Kit dissects a story from the week's gaming news and his opinions on a select few news articles or upcoming games. It's hosted on [[YouTube]], and is twinned with ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20110613194138/http://kitalexharrison.blogspot.com/ Musings of a British Gamer]'' (MoaBG), Harrison's blog. Every December, Kit also hosts a six-part awards show called the MachineAWARDS, which bestows a variety of honours upon that year's games. 2009's Game of the Year was [[Modern Warfare]] 2, 2010's was [[Splinter Cell]] Conviction. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== Tropes which the '''CAST'' provides an example of: ===~~ * [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown\|After an 8-minute rant on Fox News' opinion of Bulletstorm]], Kit's last counter-argument is that the phrase "[[Incredibly Lame Pun\|There's a Bulletstorm on the horizon]]", which opened the article, "wasn't even funny". * [[British Accents]]: Very much so. Line 22 ⟶ 20: ** [[Vanity Plate\|And at Christmas, it gets a little Santa hat!]] * [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: Played with. Every episode is numbered, but each also has a title; see [[Shout-Out]] below. * [[Insistent Terminology]]: It's "[[~~Machine CAST~~MachineCAST]]", not "MachineCast" or "Machinecast". ** Musings of a British Gamer, Harrison's blog, is abbreviated MoaBG and officially pronounced "mower-bee-gee". * [[Motor Mouth]]: He usually speaks at a steady pace, but in some of his more recent rants (particularly against Fox's treatment of [[~~Bulletstorm (Video Game)\|~~Bulletstorm]]), Kit is often angered to the point where he's practically tripping over his own words. * [[Quintessential British Gentleman]]: Kit doesn't swear in any of his content. * [[Real Song Theme Tune]]: Pendulum's "Showdown" (which starts every episode) and "The Other Side" (which ends it).
