My next article is going to be a short story, about 5 to 6 thousand words long. It will of course be vaguely retarded, and will feature computer game characters in frankly hilarious situations.
I’m thinking it’ll be a million times better with some occasional illustrations, so if you’re the artistic type and fancy helping out with a few sketches, please email me.
I don’t make any money out of this site so can’t pay you, but you will of course get full credit and a link back to your own site if you have one, plus my eternal gratitude, which as usual will be expressed using graphic photos of my penis.
I’m hoping to upload the story by the end of next week; I’ll send you what I’ve got if you’re interested.

This is because I’ve taken on a commission to write a soundtrack for a short film, which is hell of awesome, but it does mean I’ll have my hands full for the next few weeks. I’ll be back in early September with a brand new Dubious Review. See you then!

When you decide to give up games, you need some affirmative advice to help you through the bad times. The first thing self-help books tell you is that computer games can’t offer anything that real life doesn’t.
This is so fucking true.
If you make an effort, you can fill real life with all the things you used to love doing in computer games, and you’ll feel a genuine sense of achievement too! So why not put on your Reality Pants and fire up a session of Real Life: The Ultimate Adventure Game.
Remember, this is a feel-good exercise, intended to show you that there’s always a positive way you can look at any situation. So read on, and get ready to smile!

It is 1 AM. The room is lit only by the flickering lights issuing from the monitor in the corner. Menacing shadows spring from the banisters of the stairs, looming and dying in the space of a gunshot. The house is asleep, except for one sallow-cheeked yet incredibly attractive man, hunched at the computer and clicking like an enraged crab. On the screen, aliens leap and are cut down by withering hails of fire; they leap again, and again, until finally the man sits back in ragged defeat and eats part of a tangerine.
The man is me. And the game is Aliens Versus Predator. And the living room is my mum’s living room.
