David “melatonin” Watson

Or lewismistreated, however you knew him. I don't really know how to say this. Well, he took his own life recently. Karl (Lost and Found) broke the news on the 15th of January 2025 in a group chat on Facebook that I originally set up to let everyone know that the Random Fury! forums were closing, back in 2018. I…

Friday update 7/2/14

I wrote 6/4/13 all over things yesterday, for some reason I thought that was the date. So, what's been happening? On the community site I wrote about ilomilo, which was great, and made a video with Lewis where we played X-Men Arcade on the 360 - the video is up on Youtube right now. Go watch it. Finally getting around…
“My Random Encounter with Toxic”

“My Random Encounter with Toxic”

This was originally posted on GRcade by Zenigame, but for those of you who missed it, I've decided to reproduce it here.

Bubble-heads unite!

Bubble-heads unite!

There I was, playing Halo 3, waiting for Matchmaking to do it's stuff, as you do. The teams popped up, and whose was the first name I noticed, directly above mine on the blue team? Blimey, it's only GRcade moderator The Alchemist "Tiarny" Penguin. I fired off a quick "hi lol" message to him just as the game was starting…

E3 vs Lost – FIGHT!

Yesterday I posted links to two different subjects on GRcade, just to get a little traffic boost. One link was about E3, the other about Lost. I was very surprised when I came on and saw that even though E3 is current and Lost finished ages ago, Lost came out on top with 29 hits. E3 only got 7. I…

Poopgang no more

Sillysprout has decided to close Poopgang. The exact reasons are complex, but the basic jist is that some members weren't happy at the level of administration being done by the man in green, so Aneurin demanded that Sprout handed control of the forum over to him or he'd take half the community elsewhere. Sprouty declined, citing that they were not…

Gamesradar UK forum closure

Wow. When I initially had the idea for Waves, I didn’t think one of my first posts would be about the demise of the Gamesradar UK forum.

While it seems a waste to destroy the community, undo all the hard work people have put into the place and erase all that history from the internet, to be honest I feel that for the people who run the Gamesradar main site, it was the best thing to do. I saw this closure coming two years ago, although I was sure it would happen within weeks or months, not years.
