Intriguing News:
A recent discovery that fills me with amazement and pride:
I am a fellow student (unbeknownst to me) at the same University (Università degli Studi di Milano) and during the same time period as the legendary founder of this site, KiVan.

Some information about me:
Born, raised and still "emotionally" living in the nostalgic/dreamlike "little house on the prairie" (series directed by Michael Landon, based on the short stories by Laura Ingalls Wilder) and remembering with sadness and nostalgia the mecha-visionary and beast-mythological worlds of the Mazinger-saga of my childhood.
Loyal admirer of early Go Nagai's artworks, enthusiast of older Tokusatsu series (Ultraman, Megaloman, Kamen Rider, Kikaider, Godzilla movies etc.).
Relentless and almost obsessed SRW/Fire Emblem gamer.
Historian and connoisseur of early FPS games for DOS, with their variants and derivatives, and expert of SNES jrpg games and their english translation project history.

Greedy reader of 19th century British/American literature classics.
Clumsy pratictioner of shikantaza (zen meditation), wing chun (kung fu) and mindfullness.
Disciple, follower, scholar and worshiper of Taisen Deshimaru (zen master), Yip Man (kung fu master), Krishnamurti (deep thinker beyond any definition).

Open to life, not unaware of death, with an eye always facing infinity: "a dragon that never sleeps".
