THE WORLD'S MOST IN-DEPTH RICHARD JACQUES FEATURE
This is amazing. A man went to Richard's house, talked to Richard, asked Richard lots of proper questions, then got a very proper photographer to take lots of really good hi-res photos of Richard in which he seems to be wearing make-up.
This makes us really sad that whenever we've had the opportunity to talk to Richard we have, frankly, pissed it away. And even with the telephoto lens our photos aren't anything like as good as these.
This featured in UK knob-twiddling music technology mag Future Music. Hopefully, us charitably linking to their web site here will stop them getting arsey and demanding we take this all down.
FROM THIS MAN: "I went round his house and he's a very nice man. His dining room is full of games and consoles and a big telly. We chatted for ages about games and I ended up writing his life story in the feature - which I found very interesting even if none of our readers do. Wanted to take him to the pub but my photographer was looking bored after the third hour of me saying 'and then what game did you do?!?!???'."
"His studio is in his attic. I left my notebook behind in my excitement and had to go back 15 minutes later - looking like a complete fool. Daniel."
There is a line in here where Richard says "the technology that Sony are developing is amazing." Richard Jacques has just been moved, mentally, to a slightly lower pedestal.
Our Richard Jacques feature is still being worked on. It is an unauthorised piece, and currently stands at approximately 53,000 words and 182 photographs. And 62 hand-drawn illustrations. And a separate book of short stories and fan fiction. And some poems. And his initials carved into our leg with a key.

I'd print that out to read, but knowing my luck the printer at work would print it out on to 4 sheets of A4 per image...
Any chance of a PDF forced to A4 per page? :)
I wish to haunt your dreams by informing you that if you take a certain nickname for "Richard," his name is pronounced, "dick jack." Perhaps you can use this name for him every time he affiliates with Sony.
Judging by his choice of computer, he's obviously a man of style and great intellect.
A4 formatted .pdf to go:
