“Recently I’ve been playing games from 2005, none of which I’ve played before. Specifically, Quake 4, Dungeon Siege 3, Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, F.E.A.R. and Farhenheit. Why, you ask? An episode of the PC Zone Lives podcast should be along soon to explain, but I’m finding it a great way to chip at my gaming pile o’ shame. When to next, though?”

Richie Shoemaker, Editor
“Hello again! The time between last issue and now has been a very good one for video games, and when I’ve not been on Full Void, Sonic Superstars or Super Mario Wonder, I’ve been spending hours upon hours on Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. I have probably been spending more time in Marvel’s New York City than in Manchester, where I actually live, but what can I say? The city needs Spider-Man.”
Vince Pavey, Spider-Man, Staff Writer
“I’ve also been playing Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, but I am perhaps a little bit more grounded in reality, and haven’t ordered a costume of my own just yet. When not stopping crooks as the amazing wall crawler, I’ve also been playing as one on Payday 3, and am now thankful that the Spectacular Spider-Vince isn’t showing up to stop us getting away with our loot.”
Alex Boucher, Senior Business Development Manager

Pet: Pudding Owner: Hilary Lok Owner’s job: Co-Founder at Dot Dot Fire

“Pudding is a chonky British shorthair and is the most outgoing cat you’ll ever meet. He’s Dot Dot Fire’s most enthusiastic team member and is always eager to help out with emails by sitting on keyboards. He knows that hydration is key and reminds everyone else by drinking water from their cups, even though he has a whole fountain for himself. He knows tricks like sit, paw, and down, and will perform any of them for freeze-dried chicken. His favourite things are chicken, picnics at the park, and being the centre of attention!”
Pet: Rogue Owner: Georgia Dawson Owner’s job: Account Manager at Indigo Pearl
“Known as ‘the cat that acts like a dog’, Rogue loves attention, belly rubs and playing fetch. He can sometimes be seen in the background of Indigo Pearl calls, chasing his big sister Roary around the house.”
Pet: Coco and Leo Owner: Rob Leane Owner’s job: Gaming Editor at
RadioTimes.com
“Coco and Leo always hog the SecretLab gaming chair. They particularly like it as a sleeping spot, despite all the comfy cat- specific things that Rob and his wife have bought them. They’re domestic shorthairs, a brother and sister, and they spend a lot of time asleep to be honest. But they do like to come and bother us while we’re playing games, fidgeting on our laps and head-butting the controllers out of our hands. Their judgemental looks seem to ask, ‘Why hold a gamepad when you could be stroking us?!’”
