Lawson.

Lawson's an old friend of ours who took off to bonnie old England to work for a cool little videogame company called Free Radical (the guys who brought you TimeSplitters 1 & 2).

We don't see a lot of Lawson anymore (obviously), but his legacy lives on. See, Lawson was (perhaps still is?) "the last of the great partiers". Whenever we were out whooping it up, you could count on Lawson to be the guy leading the charge, rallying to keep us going until six in the morning. Like Custer, Lawson was usually the last man standing.

Of course, Lawson didn't usually look too great come the next morning. Hell, don't take my word for it, cast your eyes on the photo to your left. Yiikes.

We all miss Lawson; nowadays, the parties are a little more reserved and we're usually in bed by 3am instead of our usual 6am. Still, sometimes when we're out for a drink, we hoist a shot, let loose a salty tear, and say "here you go Lawson old buddy, this one if you you". Then we drink, and laugh, and remember that we never really liked him anyhow, which takes the sting away for a bit.

Check out a couple photos of the master at work.
