Talk at Tavola Esagonale 2020 – Sessione “Efficacia” (ITA)
Mercoledì 9 settembre 2020 si è tenuta la Tavola Esagonale 2020.

Interview with Eric Jacobus
Some time ago, I stubled upon a video like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBk8zf8mKiw This may not even be the most amazing one of those, since Heihachi Mishima has not the most visually inspiring fighting style (those enjoying Tekken know). However, a number of other videos by the same performer, Eric Jacobus, followed, quickly covering most of… Continue reading Interview with Eric Jacobus
Most beautiful game vs. Best game
Yesterday night I had the very pleasant opportunity to join a dinner that was held by Archivio Italiano dei Giochi. A number of high profile experts on games were present, but a big absent was missing: Niek Neuwahl.
