  Digitiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Digitiser was written by Mr Biffo and Mr Hairs, both now established writers in their own fields.
The founding writers of Digitiser were Mr Biffo (Paul Rose) and Mr Hairs (Tim Moore) who, as Biffo himself says, only began working on it in order to "amuse ourselves and get free games".
Mr Biffo contributed a couple of articles early on, but walked away due to other commitments, and a disagreement with the other contributors over the direction the site should take.

 Scoop: A Week of It: Boxing Blues & Winston’s Promises
Mr Tamihere wished to move beyond the verbal sparring of the debating chamber and have a good crack at some opposition politicians in the form of Hone Harawira (Maori Party) or Tau Henare (National Party).
Mr Tamihere would have difficulty asking either man to step out of the Beehive bar Pickwick’s, and go at it hammer and tongs in the Parliamentary carpark, as neither Mr Henare or Mr Harawira have yet been elected.
Mr Cow backhandedly complimented Ms Young for ‘being at the top of her game’ adding “She took over as political editor from the excellent John Armstrong.

Always time for Biffo - you know he takes it seriously, but not THAT seriously, but seriously, but still not very seriously.
Biffo's unfunnyising and the disappearance of Digitiser have honestly been the two main factors in my not following games anymore.

 Long Live Digi - Darkfall Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
For those of you game crazy here in the UK, you may already know that alas, after 10 years, the legendary and ridiculously controversial teletext games magazine, Digitiser, has ceased to be.
Mr Biffo, the now well respected (or completely hated, there are mixed opinions) founder of the magazine has moved on to brighter pastured apparently, to write scripts for Crossroads and Eastenders.
They did their job to the last second, and instead of flooding the pages with farewells and "we love you"'s, they decided to see just how far the teletext directors would let them push it, by putting a large amount of penises dotted randomly around the magazine, along with sexual references and sickly implying anecdotes.

 Bye, Bye, Digitizer...world...whatever - ALL - Discussion Forum /// Eurogamer
This is an unavoidable result of the evils of capitalism and other stuff like that, and we're not sorry.
Perhaps if Biffo took up that offer from Games Central to contribute an occasional column, it'd help pay for his excellent whim.
Biffo's contributed a couple of reviews since it started and I read he's said he's an "executive producer" or something not a writer for Digiworld.

 Snappish Thoughts: Stanley Loomis Would Be Proud
He announced at the start of 2002 that he was quitting, just as an Internet campaign saw the full return of the Digi experience.
Biffo became the more sensibly-monikered Paul Rose, and started writing for Edge Magazine.
The UK was enveloped in shadow, mourning for its passed love (note: might be slightly exaggerated).

Furthering biffo's thoughts, would a linguist be able to notice a slip in someone's speech that might give them away, similar to a "forger's tremor", are there examples, of this?
I had a case once in which creeky voice seemed to be the best clue to a telephone speaker's identity.
Biffo, language variation is certainly part of forensic linguistics.

Mr Biffo e' in realtà Paul Rose, scrittore per dieci anni (93-03) per il teletext di Channel 4 (Digitiser) con lo pseudonimo, appunto, di Mr Biffo.
Dopo aver lasciato il teletext, Mr Biffo si concentra come scriptwriter in cerca di gloria, ma continua a scrivere su Edge e arriva anche da noi tradotto in italiano.
Surely part of its charm is that it was on such an archaic medium.

Digitiser used to be on Channel 4, whose service was called "Teletext" (there used to be a Digitiser section at http://www.teletext.co.uk containing features by Mr.
Biffo, although it was in a more regular web-page format) - since Biffo gave it up (to write Eastenders episodes, among other things), it has been replaced with GamesCentral, headed by (ex-Edge editor) Tony Mott and his band of loonies/contributors (some of whom were drawn from the currently closed Edge forum).
There are also some Teletext/Ceefax in-jokes on Digiworld.tv made possible by being able to select any page you want with the remote - the first thing I thought of when I went to the site was to check out well-known Teletext/Ceefax pages, and I wasn't disappointed (888, for instance, provides subtitles for the current program).

Fictional Creation of Comedic Mastermind Paul Rose, Insincere Dave first began working for Digitiser, that most illustrious of Teletext Gaming Magazines, sometime in the late Twentieth Century.
Under the tutelage of then editor Mr Biffo, Insincere Dave's most common work was in commenting on recent gaming news: there exists an archive of some of his insincerities on the interweb, although it is to be found somewhere else.
However, various calamities, including, apparently, the destruction of the World Trade Cent"er", meant Insincere Dave's obvious contributions were halted, without any warning to his growing fans.
