Not content with owning half of Newcastle’s games stores, ambitious indie Grainger Games took over Newcastle United’s home turf at St James’ Park for a charity football day. Getting more than a little competitive resulted in £500 for industry organisation GamesAid – and no doubt a similar amount was spent in Shearer’s Bar after the games.
Not the band, but Sega’s David Corless – dubbed a ‘computer games marketeer’ by the BBC, which sounds oddly exciting. Corless was spotted on the final of Total Wipeout and lived up to the game show’s name with some spectacular tumbles into the drink. If you can track down the episode on iPlayer or YouTube, we advise you do so – if only to admire the headband.
