I was idly browsing through the They’re Back archive just now, and got to issue 119 – which, seemingly, I did not purchase. However, at the very end of the ‘And the Rest’ column, seemingly *completely randomly*, you mentioned me.
Erm. Hmm?
So I’m wondering, since I see no reason for my being mentioned there, am I missing something? Or, perhaps, did it refer to someone with the same name? Or, erm. Yeah. Just hmm?
Lewis – They cut it from the printed version. It was a reference to a forum gag where someone in-house stated that any requests for reviews on the disc would cause it to be delayed by another month. You did so, I referenced it. Shame it didn’t get in, really.
Of course, the real reason there aren’t reviews on the disc is far more interesting.
John: ah! I have… no recollection of that. Heh. How random.
Let's hold hands
Hello, welcome, and sit down. I'm John Walker, a freelance writer based in the UK, willingly swapping words for money. You can currently find my work in PC Gamer, on Eurogamer, and at the all-surpassing, world-destroying Rock, Paper, Shotgun. Amongst others. This site is the place for my idle, idle thoughts, occasional rants, meandering tales, television reviews, and photographs of a cat. Contact me by email magic. Unless it's to complain about white text on a black background.

Those are fantastic.
There’s a pub just off Carnaby Street with “I sit here, heartbroken” scrawled next to a really intricate drawing of a girl.
The stuff you find on cubicle doors.
Someone should do a trendy photo blog of them. Call it “LooArt” or something.
