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.

Like a butterfly emerging from the corpse of a caterpillar, my professional career has to "die" so that something else might "live" more vibrantly
Oh my goodness, how poetic!

(That isn't how it works anyways.  A caterpillar builds a cocoon and fuckin metamorphosisizes itself into a butterfly and then emerges from its cocoon.  No caterpillar corpse to be found)

In any case, I look forward to examining the source code for his wonderful cookie-cutter wrestling games and seeing the coding skillz of someone who has never had to write code that others will have to see or maintain a free-thinking rebel that redefines the rules.
