Mat Dickie

Every industry has one. The free-thinking rebel that redefines the rules. He says what no-one else will say and does what no-one else will do. Fuelled by raw passion, he seizes an art form by the throat and drags it to its apex. What they invented, he makes it sing. His peers hate him but the public love his style. At once he intimidates and inspires; breaking down the walls that secure some yet block others. Welcome to MDickie.com - home of the games industry's first true 3-dimensional character! Whether he's the "hero" or the "villain" depends entirely on your perspective...

Look at this badass motherfucker, /prog/. You'll never be as cool as him if you only keep making toy programs.

I represent a new era of game development where any guy off the street can crack open a laptop and make an impact in this business. That frightens a lot of people that see the world of computing as their sanctuary - the one place where they can pretend to be powerful from behind a keyboard.
I like this attitude. unfortunately software development isn't quite 'mainstream' yet. There people who hold back the progress by being hostile to newbies and learning(/prog/ included).
