NiktheGreek

<forumuser name="NiktheGreek" /> NiktheGreek was a long-time scener, having made a quiet Sonic scene debut in September 2001. With bagloads of enthusiasm and considerably less skill, he joined the staff of the original SSRG in 2002 and spent a few years doing that sort of thing. He was also a regular at Sonic CulT and later Sonic Retro. Nik didn't really do much other than post bitterly, but got to interview some interesting people one time. He's known to consistently attend UK scene meets, starting with the first CulT:UK meet in 2003, more recently including Retro's own and Summer of Sonic.

Outside of Sonic, NiktheGreek's interests include politics, metal and electronic music, comedy and card games. In years past Nik ran a Dreamcast fansite, which gained a mild amount of interest as it actively followed Japanese developments from 2003 onwards. Occasionally, he toys with the idea of reviving it. Since early 2008 he's been writing for Arcade Heroes, venturing out to follow rumours of new location tests or cover massive trade shows.
