Requiem for Optimism

Here at TSA, we’re a community. We’ve been caught banging on several times about how much we love the guys who comment and engage with us. We genuinely do think of many of our regulars as friends.

There are several staff members here, past and present, who have become more than just colleagues or casual friends. Several of the guys are like a kind of extended family now. So, before I get too sentimental, I’d like to divert your attention to the recent endeavours of TSA ex-staffer (and current boss at ScreenDemon), Lewis Gaston. You might know him as Gastos or even as that bloke who makes inappropriate jokes on the Oscar Mike Media podcast. He’s made an album.

The album, Requiem for Optimism, is available right now on iTunes for a measly £5.49. You might have noticed the advert we’re now running for it on the right hand side of the page (refresh if you don’t see it yet). That advert is there because we’d really like Lewis to sell quite a lot of copies of his album. We encourage you all to go and buy it.

But this little post, unrelated to the regular stream of content on this website, is for another reason. The purpose of this post is to wish Lewis all the best with Requiem for Optimism and to ask our amazing community to help us spread the word. We know that music is even more subjective than games so Lewis’ album might not be to your personal tastes but we also know that you have a lot of friends and we’d like them to know about Lewis too. So, click the advert, buy the album. Sure. But most importantly, spread the word.

Now, Lewis didn’t know I was going to post this so I’ll let you get back to our regular scheduling and I’ll go and wait for him to send me abuse and call me names for embarrassing him…
