Right, we’re going to need a pretty and far more functionality-clever WordPress template for http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/. Butchering a WordPress template was long and arduous, and none of us want to do it again. Can anyone help? Do you know anyone who’s good with web magic? Please let me know. Thanks!
I should like to own this modernist billboard/treehouse, Single Hauz.

T. rex could catch a human, simulations show
Humans are fortunate not to have lived alongside Tyrannosaurus rex. The most sophisticated computer analysis of the gait of several two-legged dinosaurs suggests that even the lumbering T. rex could have kept up with an athlete. Smaller dinosaurs, like the Velociraptor, could have outpaced the fastest humans with considerable ease.

See, there is a good reason why I’ve not been posting here much. Go and read.
Cold, clear, rational thought is the most important thing we have; the one thing that can save us. If I was made Emperor of All Media, I’d broadcast something akin to The Enemies Of Reason on every channel, every day, for 10 years. This is an urgent message that must be heard if we want to survive, as a species. Oh. And I’d also broadcast a load of Tex Avery cartoons, just to show off my lighter side. Man, I loves dat Droopy.
If only all ex-games journalists were as forthright in their quest to punish nonsense.
It’s been a while since I posted any fun buildings, so take a look at the plans for this prefab house.
Ideal if you happen to own a vast tract of savannah.
What am I doing? Writing and listening to Squarepusher’s Vic Acid on repeat.

Hello, and welcome. I'm a writer and journalist based in the UK. This place is a collection of my writing, including essays that have no other home. My online notes are now here. It might also advertise my work:
A book about videogames, our lives, and the lives of people in far away cities. Dwell magazine said it was "like a New Yorker article that you wish would never end."
Buy it here.
Much of my writing isn't in paper form, although I do write for PC Gamer, Wired, Edge, and many other exciting, glossy magazines. On the internet you can find my regular column over on Offworld, and the rest of my ramblings at the world's greatest single asset: Rock, Paper, Shotgun.
