Tom got into PC gaming by persuading his dad to buy him the two best scoring games available – which in 1992 were Ultima Underworld and Monkey Island 2. This taught him that game reviews are always correct, so as soon as the first PC gaming magazine appeared, he subscribed. That was PC Zone. But as soon as the first PC gaming magazine to plaster pretentious words like ‘Superfluous’ across their low-scoring reviews appeared, he subscribed to that as well.
After endangering his high school education by playing too much Little Big Adventure and making Duke Nukem 3D levels, endangering his A-levels by playing too much Blood and making Quake 2 levels, and endangering his degree by playing too much Deus Ex and making Morrowind mods, he was relieved to find all of this actually helped him get a job. He now gets to write about games and gaming culture for the PC Gamer web and print editions, and has never looked back. Except when asked to write a bio, at which point you apparently get his life goddamn story.
