Statham be with you
Natejoined RPSin April 2019 as our section editor, taking charge of reviews and features while also drastically improving our love and respect for all things aquatic. I’m not kidding when I say our team #welcometothecrabshow Slack channel will never be the same again.
After impressing us with his extensivereview of all the Fallouts(5-75, in case you missed it) and taking us on an epic tour ofDwarf Fortressin hisBasement Of Curiositydiary, Nate became our go-to for strategy, simulation and management games, and there’s no one I trust more to tell me about the likes ofHumankind,Company Of Heroes 3andOldworldthan him.
He’s also the person I can perpetually rely on to explore the deepest, darkest and weirdest corners of our hallowed pasttime, going where no other games writer dares to tread. He’s writtenall sortsof wonderful things for us over the years, and there are too many to list here. In the last year alone, he’s forceddrifters to smoke crack and knife-fight a unicorn in Rimworld, conceived an entire Marvel parody series calledGordon’s Galaxy, delivered hard hitting journalism aboutLady Dimitrescu’s height in penguins, created anightmare zoo in Planet Zoo, and adapted theentire Handforth Parish Council saga into a video gameto name just a few of them.
And let’s not forget his magnum opus, A Complete And True History Of Jason Statham In Video Games, which you can view in full below at your leisure.

Aside from his impressive body of work, Nate’s been instrumental in relaunching RPS' Electronic Wireless Show podcast, co-hosting the weekly pod (and producing his ownbonus episodesfor supporters) along with Alice Bee and Matthew (RPS in peace) and taking it from strength to strength. The good news is that Nate will be continuing his pod duties going forward, including his bonus Nate Files episodes, so you can continue to get your regular aural dose of his humourous bants and cavernous pit of lies on all your favourite podcast platforms.
That’s not all, either. While most of Nate’s newfound freedom will be taken up writing loads more of his excellent books, he’ll still be making plenty of appearances on the site as a freelancer, and we’re currently planning a cool new column for him to take on as part of all that. He did swear a blood oath with us, after all, in order to raise Ghoastus from the dead in the first place.
He’ll be taking a small break in the immediate future - taking a well-deserved holiday while he gets stuck in with his book writing - but you can expect to see Nate and Ghoastus both return sometime in October.
