Bio
Hi, I'm Rob! I'm a twentysomething Irish guy living in London and working as a writer. I started out writing about videogames, technology and e-society, spent six years working on the dark side as a business journalist and am now a freelance writer and aspiring novelist (although admittedly a lot more of the former than the latter). You can read a lot of my stuff on Eurogamer.net and on GamesIndustry.biz, a site which I founded and was the editor of for over four years.

I now live in central London along with [info]nic's collection of frightening dolls and [info]chris_coltrane's peculiar musical tastes.

I'm very into a lot of modern Japanese culture, and am trying to learn the language (with, er, limited success). I even used to organise anime/manga/j-music conventions in the UK, which I guess makes me a full-on otaku. Overall, I'm a bit of a media junkie really - I devour books and movies at a rate of knots, and hop between musical genres at the drop of a hat. This week mostly I'm into a mixture of J-HipHop (Rip Slyme, m-flo, Teriyaki Boyz, Mic Banditz etc), Trance and assorted weird electronica, and some prog jazz stuff. Next week I'll probably be listening to Madonna, or something. Fuck knows.

I'm also a big food person - quite literally - and am the designated cook in my house most of the time. Which is fine by me, as I love cooking all sorts of food. My complete lack of any concern for Chris and Nic's well-being allows me to experiment with lots of different dishes, which is nice. Also, I start to get antsy if I don't eat sushi once a fortnight at least. Thankfully, London is a pretty good city for a sushi fan to live in!

This journal is designed to be a place where I jot down thoughts about stuff that happens to me or that I'm thinking about. If nobody reads it, that's cool - it's here for me, not for anyone else. If people do read it, then I'd like them to bear in mind that anything libellous or incriminating which appears here was clearly inserted by hackers, as I'd never write anything like that. Obviously.
