About

I suppose I should begin by stating my age and my nationality.  I'm about 2 years younger than Pong and 1 year the senior of Crowther's original mainframe Adventure.  I'm from Brazil.  Then why am I writing in english? Because videogames were born in america and are largely written in english, deal with it.

That said, videogames are a multinational artistic media that I've been following ever since childhood, when an industry around it was first gaining foot.  Here I review and rumble about some of my favorite and not so favorite, from arcades, consoles, desktop pcs, internet or mobile devices.

I like to think myself as a connoisseur, scrutinizing and enshrining the objects of my reverence and bluntly bashing things I abhor.  But perhaps I'm just a contemptuous old fart.

  1. still here, now deeply into the next real frontier of videogames: virtual reality. Because of it, I hardly play flatgames anymore, save those real 2D or games with no graphics at all, like good old text-adventures.
