FEATURING DIGITISER’S MR BIFFO
Who is Paul Rose?
Paul is probably better known as Mr Biffo – the creator of legendary teletext games magazine Digitiser. These days, he mostly writes his videogame ramblings over at Digitiser2000.com. If you want more Biffo in your eyes, you can catch him as the host of Digitizer The Show at www.bit.ly/biffo2000.
Off the back of reading Ernest Cline’s sequel novel, I watched the Ready Player One movie once again quite recently. I know many people have some problems with both the book and the movie (and, for that matter, Ernest Cline himself), damning it as a series of geeky pop culture references stapled to a threadbare plot, but I always saw it as Charlie And The Chocolate Factory for those of us who grew up in the Eighties.
