Dear Mr. Gepetto: I hope this finds you well
I wrote this letter
Because we miss you here in hell
Well now I know it’s hard when you don’t know what to think
And every single smile is a fake and you’re waking up
You might try but you won’t get by until you’re crucified
for all the things you try to do
Well I don’t care if you sink or swim
And I don’t care how you hold it in
As long as you don’t bother me with all the things I don’t bother you with
And 9 times out of 10 you might be right
But what about that time you know you’re wrong?
Your singing that same song
And everybody smiles but they’ll never get along
I’m trying and I’m trying and I’m trying and I’m trying to let go:
But everybody’s going down tonight
We are the few that won’t say nothing right
We are the footsteps fading into the night
Nobody cares and nobody stares with such conviction and I say:
I never wanted this, no one ever wanted this
But they gave it to me so I might as well be proud of it
I don’t know where we went wrong
All I know now is i got to do something right
So come clean
No one should have have to live with the things you’ve seen
But you’re living anyway
Well I stop the car and put her in park
And I step outside (god I hate this part)
When I see what I saw what I thought was a life that was more
Than a chore I’m just doing what I need to get by
I don’t care if you leave or stay
But you might as well split
Because it’s not the same as it was
When we said our last goodbye
And if you want the truth: I was hoping one of us would pass away
Because it’d be much easier then
We could all get together and think about when
We were young we were dumb we were numb but in love
And I’m done so I’m sending out this letter today
I’m trying and I’m trying and I’m trying and I’m trying to let go:
But everybody’s going down tonight
We are the few that won’t say nothing right
We are the footsteps fading into the night
Nobody cares and nobody stares with such conviction and I say:
I never wanted this, no one ever wanted this
But they gave it to you so you might as well be proud of it
I don’t know where we went wrong
All I know now is I got to do something right
This has been the best night of my life
This has been the best night of my life
I could have lost my life
And I would have lost my mind
But now I’m fine
And I find
That this has been the best night of my life
This has been the best night of my life
(I still can’t believe they had the heart to apologize)
This has been the best night of my life
(I still can’t believe they had the heart to apologize)
I could have lost my life
And I would have lost my mind
But now I’m fine
And I find
That this has been the best night of my life
And as the day fades
No one investigates
Nobody answers when she calls his name
Another victim, somewhere in a shallow grave
I want to hold her and tell her: it’s not your fault
It’s not your fault
We are the few that won’t say nothing right
We are the footsteps fading into the night
Nobody cares and nobody stares with such conviction and I say:
I never wanted this, no one ever wanted this
But they gave it to me so I might as well be proud of it
And I know I’ve done something wrong
All I know now is I got to do something right

Remember Sonic the Hedgehog? Do you remember that old, fast 2d gameplay? Do you remember when Sonic games where actually good?
Live in nostalgia no longer! Sonic Unleashed is here!
This teaser video, along with some screenshots leaked earlier is all we have and know about the upcoming Hedgehog game… But do I need to see more before I shout for joy? I sure don’t. *joy*

I’m swimming in a sea of pee
I’m hiking up a big mountain of poo
I feel like rolling in glass when I’m without you
I’m diving in a pool of puke
I’m fly fishing a stream of puss
That’s how I feel when something separates us

Well over 6 years ago, I started using the nickname Pero Pero. I loved it. It was the name of the Miyazawa family’s dog, from Kareshi Kanojo no Jijyo.
Initially, Kare Kano was just another manga added to my collection, a manga with great quality and content, with no doubt, but nothing more than that. I did however feel more and more attracted to the characters and started to somewhat identify myself with the male counterpart of the story’s main couple.
The main character is Yukino Miyazawa, a Japanese high school freshman who is the envy of her classmates because of her good grades and immaculate appearance. However, this is just a charade she maintains to win praise—at home and in private, she is spoiled, stubborn, and a slob, and studies relentlessly instead of spending time with her sisters. Her position is threatened by Soichiro Arima, a handsome young man who also gets top grades. Yukino considers his very existence to be a challenge to her class leadership positions and a threat to the praise on which she thrives, and so she vows to destroy him. But after some misunderstandings, they see past each other’s facades and fall in love. The series follows their relationship as they are tested by school, family problems, and friends.
So why did the opening sequence of the anime become one of the songs of my life? I think this post is long enough already, maybe another time! *Watch me completely forget about it*

This blog’s been going on for a while now… and never once I actually presented the likeness of me, which happens to be what this blog is about when it’s not just gaming news! Since my english is that much limited and my laziness has no limits whatsoever, I’ve decided to post this in an interview form.
N/A/S/L (Meanz Name, Age, Sex, Location, Noobz)?
Nicolo Zilli, 19 (born December 19th, 1988), male, currently situated in Italy.
Your interests, in short.
I’ve got plenty, but mainly I’m thinking about videogames, music, japanese animation and manga, along with computers, programming and anything that happens around me. Life is my interest.
Describe some of your virtues.
My curiosity often forces me to find out how things work. If I happen to be in the vicinity of any piece of technology that I know nothing about, may it be hardware or software, I will not feel satisfied until I learn as much as I can about it.
I am also a very patient and carefree person overall and I rarely feel anger towards other people.
Describe some of your flaws.
I can happen to be very lazy when working on or participating in something that is not interesting enough. I also tend to procrastinate many occasions where I don’t feel the initial interest anymore.
More in the next round!

Do you know about that black portable thing with Sony written on it? Did you know it’s actually a portable console? Stunning isn’t it!
Jokes aside, the PSP is fading away. A series of unfortunate events and facts have sent the poor 16:9 sized soon-to-be-phone-thanks-to-voip portable thingamabob towards a slow and painful death. Lack of quality games, cost, pirates and it’s own stubborn merchandising system all contributed in the assassination of what could have actually been a very fine competitor of the now King of Consoles (aka Nintendo DS).
“What to do?” says the depressed PSP owner. Stay calm, nothing is lost just yet! Criticism aside, there are some titles that deserve your time! Here are just a few!
-Patapon
-Tekken Dark Resurrection
-Test Drive Unlimited
-Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness
-Jak and Daxter
All I can say is, don’t give up and keep searching! There’s plenty of hidden gems out there!

This Swarovski filled Wii is Nintendo’s Brawl tournament’s grand prize… Of course, if you suck at Brawl and think a Wii decked out with 20,000 crystals is cool, you could possibly just grab one from Crystal Icing, maker of all things crystallized. They’re not currently selling them, but I’m sure if you got them on the phone and asked them to charge four grand to your credit card, something could be worked out…
