About Me
Ok, I admit it - I am a member of a UK indie dev startup (comprised of a mere three chancers) called Megadev, but I've also been a Destructoid reader for ages. Both The Podcastle and HAWP give me such joy, as they feature otherwise sane people being gratuitously offensive and weird. Lovely stuff.

As a gamer, I worked my way up from a programmable Commodore PET, to a BBC (both borrowed from my Dad's school), a full-blown C64, Gameboy, Megadrive/Genesis, PS1, PS2, DS and finally...a Wii. Yeah, I'm not sure about that last choice either. I'm a huge fan of platformers, action-adventure, scrolling beat-'em-ups and weird shit in general, which is why the most experimental end of Flash and EXE gaming has commanded my attention more than mainstream titles of late. That, and being broke, aha!

Cheers,

Nick

Well, looky here...

The venerable publication Private Eye - the only UK magazine that convincingly sticks it to corrupt politicians and hypocritical media at the expense of being sued every 5 minutes - uncovers a few salient facts about the corporate interests that funded the rather witless Change 4 Life ads. It's a little past the fact, but it makes for interesting reading. Plus, it makes them look even more like a bunch of twats. Here's the clipping...



Cheers,

Nick P

@ Jesus H Christ : Too true - Private Eye is full of this sort of stuff, and reading it every fortnight leaves me with a rather dim view of the way these people do business...

@ Puppy Licks - thanking you, sir! :)

Ever wonder if society today is just sitting on a log or are we as a people finally circling the bowl in one last dignified dance?

@ Sukes: Where these morons are concerned, I think the log is disappearing into the whirlpool with them...I'm not sure dignity comes as standard in this case ;)

@ Agentmoo: Corporate high-rollers - check that shit!
