Apologies for the lack of articles recently, it’s coursework season… which makes us sad. Anyway we all think this fantastic guest post by Alex Morris (GamerTag: scousiewousie) was well worth the wait. Speaking of guest posts, if you fancy a go at writing (and it’s something you think would suit Gizunk, sorry to anyone that wishes to write some long winded essay about paperclips) we’d love to see what you’ve got to say. All credit goes to your fine self and if we like your stuff, and you fancy it of course, you could always become a permanent contributor. Anyway, on to the article!
