What about me? Leave me out of it.
I had a blog on 1up.com blog on 1up.com once upon a time .
Games, music, game music, foreign films, road trips, going to rawk shows, game hunting (as in Nintendo, not deer), cold soba, air drumming, drinking and subjecting my friends to awesome Japanese films.
Shigeru Miyamoto, god of Nintendo!
