What, who, where am I?!?
Craig Lotter is a web developer based in Gordon's Bay, South Africa, who seems completely incapable of shaking off that pesky inner child within, the one that forces him to love all things animated or hand drawn.
The Rugged Rock of Craig contains snippets of his life, popular culture and all the important things like anime, manga, games and comic books. The CodeUnit of Craig on the other hand contains the more serious stuff like code snippets and tutorials, while the House of C chronicles his foray into the world of web comics.
For which it never seems he has enough time anyway.

The students of Ryokuryou High School think they’ve been playing a fun new game called Orikiri.

GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka (Volume 8)

Great Teacher Onizuka is one of my favourite anime series of all time, and it is great to see that the manga from which it originated from is as good a read. This series may be for the little more mature reader, but it is certainly guaranteed to give you more than a few good laughs while at the same time make you think just that little harder and in so doing, manages to sidestep that tag of just being ‘unimaginative fluff’ that it might have been slapped with.
