Monocles at the ready! Gamecock to open new UK office photo

As the largest of the indie game sites, Destructoid has always been ready and willing to give the rebellious Gamecock some love. I might still be a little wary of the company's output, but news that it plans to open a UK branch by the end of the year is very encouraging indeed. As you know, I'm all for game companies realizing that the PAL territories exist, so this is great to hear.

"It's mostly about us trying to give our developers the best deal we can across the PAL territories too," Gamecock CEO Mike Wilson told GameIndustry.biz. "When doing a co-publishing deal, it's really hard to do that."

Of course, once Gamecock sets up shop, I fully expect a guided tour of the new digs complete with complimentary sausage rolls. This is essential. I will, in return, teach Gamecock to master the arts of monocle wearing and monocle popping, so that its UK dealings go as smoothly as possible in the future.

Now I'm going to be thinking about sausage rolls all night long. I should have eaten dinner before I came to work.

@ whiteboy0869 & RskimB: They're a new indie publishing company, from the guys behind G.O.D. before it got taken over by The Man. Mushroom Men and Hail to the Chimp along with several other interesting looking titles are in the pipeline now, but none have been released yet. Think of them like the anti-EA.

Is the UK office going to be renamed Gamewanker?

Sterling, you could be the man to bring the monocle back into daily fashion.

Splendid, my dear Sterling. You've learned your mastery of the monocle from the best. There is nothing more that I can teach you. Go now and spread my teachings to all the gaming cocks out there!

I know what they are, I just haven't seen any of their games. They need to up the marketing a little bit, otherwise who will buy these anti-EA games?

Like I said before, none have been released yet... I believe the first is Dementia: The Ward, which comes out the 31st (oooh, spooky). The reason there isn't a lot of marketing for their games yet is because they really isn't much to show right now, they're still kinda early in the development cycle for most of the titles.

I got it now. I'll take a look at some of their games later on, see if anything piques my interest.
