About Me

Hi, I'm Dave, thanks for stopping by.
Ok so, I'm a dirty journalist and I'm the game columnist for the Scotsman's Saturday "Critique" Magazine (WOOT!) I also write freelance for The Skinny Mag (major props!), www.acegamez.com and www.scottishgames.biz, as a games reviewer, check my shit out some time.
I also DJ on Wednesday nights at The Hive and every so often at Opium on a Friday, play bass guitar, work in Gamestation Princes Street (My XB360 Gamertag is fastrez - add me if you like!), eat too much and enjoy cool glasses of cider.
I've also been going out with my girlfriend and best friend Rachel for over a year and a half and am having the best of times in our new flat with our good mate Craig :) My friends are all really important to me and I can be shy at times, so don't think I'm being an ass or anything, I really do want to speak to you :)
