After a day nothing came, and so I sent another tentative email: “please gimme the electric fish”. I smashed a reply to the initial press email from publisher 2tainment (where Alice had found the trailer) like a grunting tennis man, and waited for the return volley. Like a simple child feeding raw burgers to a dog, I refuse to countenance the concept of “too many”.Īs it is, I would have to wait a week for Biotope. How many similes is too many, when describing this sort of eagerness? Who knows. “Give it to me” I hissed, through a throat clenched like a hosepipe in the builder’s fist of my excitement. I capered a little on the spot, like a desperate ape surrounded by hard-faced Elizabethan stevedores. Like a sweating, bite-poxed conquistador parting vines to reveal a city of gold, I actually roared.

I spent most of December in a gorgeous fugue state with Megaquarium, but even that was too abstract - too simplistic - for my darkest appetites. Which is all to say, you better bloody believe I’m ready for a hyper-realistic aquarium simulation on PC. To know that I had managed to pass the curse along through another threshing of DNA made me well happy, and seemed to neatly honour his memory. I was elated much of my life has been consumed by an obsession with watery things, and aquariums in particular, thanks in no small part to the childhood actions of my fish-obsessed father.
