Steve has also created content for Ginx TV,[1] and is one half of the Go 8 Bit spin-off project WiFi Wars, a live interactive video-game comedy show.

[2][3][4] Following a degree in Business Management and various jobs in fitness franchises close to his home of Milton Keynes, Steve trained as an actor at the ALRA Theatre School; it was his acting credentials that first exposed him to comedy by responding to an acting call for a 'white, middle-class man' and joining Brendon Burns' Perrier Award-winning 2007 show So I Suppose This Is Offensive Now?

In 2013, struggling to put a show together for the Edinburgh Fringe, McNeil (a lover of video-games) & Sam Pamphilon decided to create a show where comedians played video-games for entertainment:[8] I'd got a Nintendo Wii, and there was quite a lot of good retro stuff on that, so we figured if we plugged that in with a big screen and got our mates like Josh Widdicombe and Nish Kumar drunk and got them to swear at each other while they played Mario Kart, we figured we could charge drunk Scottish people 10 quid a go to watch it.

Comedians Richard Soames, Nish Kumar and Paul Foxcroft often joined as commentators with support from Guy Kelly and resident 'Punishment Twat' Will Heartley.

The captain and/or comedian of whichever team lost the round would have to suffer a forfeit such as eating a bowl of jalapeños or drinking a sardine smoothie.

[9] In 2014 Steve McNeil and Rob Sedgebeer were invited to the Royal Institution Christmas Lecture to demonstrate the power of virtual reality, by showing a volunteer a film of a rollercoaster journey whilst asking them to hold a tray with plastic glasses as still as possible.

[16] Following previous streams on Twitch with fellow Ginx TV host Chris Slight, Steve started his own channel on 17 October 2017.

The book covers not only games but their developers, artists and writers who poured endless energy (whilst making some hilarious mistakes along the way) into satisfying a generational desire for new and unique, but also accessible, entertainment.

[19] Alongside his book release, Steve wrote several monthly gaming articles for Wireframe Magazine, which he stills continues today.

In April 2022, Steve hosted a weekly podcast called during Comics Made Easy, alongside Chris Slight, Alex Lolies (aka BoardgameYogi) & Javier Jarquin.

[23] After three episodes (including the pilot), Steve said during WiFi Wars' November 2022 Patreon stream, that the podcast would not return despite enjoying creating it.

December 2022 saw Steve take on the role of Assistant Producer for Lost Voice Guy's Christmas Comedy Club special on ITV.

WiFi Wars also made their fourth appearance on The Royal Institution's Christmas Lectures, showcasing a "Super Recogniser" (created by Rob) to help identify faces of suspects in a criminal lineup.
