About Me

What about me? I am a wannabe rock star who, in the absence of any real talent, gets dressed up like fool and drunkenly pretends to play guitar in front of a paying audience. Well, I've done it three times anyway.I'm also a games journalist. I write for 360 magazine, among others. It's probably not quite as amazingly fun as most people think it must be, but I still love it.

My Interests

Music, video games, naked ladies, places with funny names, swearing, writing, bad 80's TV adventure series, comedy.
