Shaneus you'll find that there's a couple of guys with similar avatars to mine.
Back in the good old days there was a magazine called Zzap! 64. It was and still is the best video game magazine ever to have been made ever in the history of anything. Each game was reviewed by multiple people, and next to their review blurb was a little cartoon sketch of the reviewer with their initials on their shirt.
Many years later, I had the incredible opportunity to produce and write in the final issue of Zzap! 64, and my avatar you see now was from that. A lot of awesome talented people worked on it, including Paul who you saw on Twitter. The art director of that issue Craig Grannel is now at Retro Gamer magazine, and all the reviewers in that have the same style cartoon avatars.
And even with a string of successful games to my name, I still rate being a part of Zzap! 64 as the highlight of my career.
WHICH SEGUES ME NICELY INTO:
I am writing next week's batch of comics. Once again the theme is "old video games". I am taking your suggestions...NOW!
