As a media & technology analyst I've tried to look at games as more than just entertainment devices. To get to the root, one could say, of how video games and the modern media surrounding them effects who we are, how we feel, and our future.
Sadly, that is a waste of time. But come on! We've got nothing better to do on this rotating ball of dirt.
I'm Nick. I'm not shy about what I think. And I'd like to spill it here. I'll try to give you some interesting guts and insight into the industry, and surrounding media. No promises tho, sometimes the pond is too shallow.
I've been gaming sense I was knee-high to a magazine rack reaching for EGM. I grew up games. Where the generation before me might have honored brands like MTV and bands like Flock of Seagulls I worship Gods named Xbox, Playstation, and We Might Be Giants. It's left me... a little fucked up to be honest. But it is who I am, and who we are.
So. Pull up a chair. Check your batteries. Oh. And pass the caffeine supplement drink of choice.
Especially after that last kerfuffle with the NIN album.
The UK has always been a great melting pot for musical styles. It gave us The Rolling Stones, Beatles, and a host of other rip-off bands through the "British Invasion" and continues to develop some of the most unique musical acts around.
One in particular, is the mashup group that is Dan le Sac (notable DJ) VS Scroobius Pip (poet, rapper, and spoken word artist). You might have heard them before from this little ditty...
the thou shout always kill one was awesome :-) good to see more brit stuff coming. I wasnt a fan of music from my country a while back but lately some awesome stuff has been coming out
