Loading ...CPC on the BBC
Alex Watson
One of Custom PC’s games reviewers, Dan Emery, also works for the BBC, producing news stories for BBC Radio 5 Live. This means that as well as arriving in the labs full of salacious, off-the-record gossip, he’s also prone to calling up and asking other members of the team to go on the radio and comment about news stories that involve computers. This is often last minute, and often quite… let’s say, tangential, to the concerns of Custom PC. It’s not often that national radio talks about modding and overclocking.
However, Dan’s colleague Adam recently gave me a call and said Radio 5 were putting together a piece on PC and console gaming, as part of a segment for the Up All Night Show - Up All Night is, as the name suggests, a show for nighthawks that goes out from 1 till 5am. Now PC and console gaming happens to be right up our street, so last Thursday evening I found myself heading to White City to the BBC.

A frequently asked question, to which the answers can be found in this helpful forum thread, which I regularly update. Subscribers get their issues the Saturday or Monday before the Thursday newsstand release. Yet another reason to subscribe

Alex Watson
Blimey, over a month since I’ve posted to the blog. It’s been a busy summer - I squeezed in a holiday, which was nice, and have bought a house, too. On the work side of things, there’s been a bit of work behind the scenes: new homepages for the staff and reader blogs, plus a lot of work on stopping spam and a new captcha system.
I’ve also managed to get a few hours of Bioshock in - so far, I’m a bit disappointed, particularly with the combat, which seems very stodgy and outdated. Still, I’m going to give it a bit more play time before I condemn it completely.

Initially, of course, this post contained only the words “FIRST POST, W00T!”, but I’ve decided it should probably say something a little more sensible. So this is my work blog; I’m Alex Watson, and after having spent close to four years on product reviews for the magazine, with the launch of our new website, I’m moving over to Features, for both the print mag and this site. If you want to drop me a line, my email is alex [at] custompc.co.uk, or you can leave a comment here on the blog.
