NAME: Pete Closs
EMAIL: Pete@sharkyextreme.com
AGE: 19
EDUCATION: I've got various GCSEs and A Levels (both British qualifications with silly names), mainly in European and Russian History, Computing and English. I also completed one year of a Computing Degree before realising just how hard and nasty the very technical side of computers can get.
RANK: Games Editor
PREVIOUS ENGAGEMENTS: I've been gaming since the age of five (Space Invaders WAS my childhood) and don't intend to stop this obsession any time soon. Other past jobs include bookstore sales assistant, HTML monkey and Webmaster.
0WNAGE: Everything Looking Glass (you will never be forgotten), Games Workshop wargames and Simon the Sorcerer. Also, let it be known that Hendrix is a God, sci-fi and fantasy books are all I ever read (are you getting an image of an archetypal geek yet?) and the Brits still do the best comedies around.
SUCKAGE: Mornings, Mondays, jumping puzzles, taxes, C++, hardware conflicts, jetlag.
CLAIM TO FAME: I have a semi-decent knowledge of Japanese, although after 14 years of learning it on and off I still can't quite hold even a simple conversation in it. Oh, and I once sold Jerry Hall (y'know, Mick Jagger's chick) 212 pounds worth of books. I was about to point out to her that her credit card only validated cheques of up to 200 pounds before someone thankfully pointed out her identity. The numerous brats running around just picking up whatever books caught their eye should have given it away really.
