And hey! Some of the music for his videos is by Garry Schyman, who later did the music for BioShock. I suppose they must have met at Pandemic.
Back in 2003, 28-year-old Matt Harding discovered that irony has its limits. At the time he was working for a company in Brisbane, Australia, writing dialog for video game characters, but had tired of all the violent shoot-'em-up games, he said, and suggested, sarcastically, that the company develop a game called Destroy All Humans. Unfortunately, the company thought it was a great idea; Harding didn't. "I … didn't want to spend two years of my life writing a game about killing everyone," he said. "I [suggested the game] as a kind of tongue-in-cheek thing, but there is no such thing as irony in video games." So, he quit his job and took off on an around-the-world trip – a sojourn that would eventually make Harding a celebrity of sorts, at least among a crowd of seemingly irreverent Web-surfers who have flocked to his site, Where the Hell Is Matt?

I guess Matt hasn't yet learned his lesson about making jokes...
