"Life as a boundless-level videogame with an infinite array of characters to pick from" (Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky)
Hi! My name is Matteo Bittanti, aka “mbf”.
Among other things, I love videogames and I am doing academic research in the US and elsewhere to justify my passion. If you need the official spiel – stuff that I’ve done, things that I’ve studied and so on, take a look at the inevitable 'serious' website, mattscape.com.
In this blog you will find:
- rants about things I care about (games, movies, books, electronica, soccer, coffee, zombies, criticism etc etc) in no particular order
- random thoughts on a variety of topics
- shameless self-promotion
- news about events that you might like, or maybe not
In this blog you won’t find
- politically correct comments
Things you probably should know before proceeding:
Political affiliation: I'm a BIG supporter of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti.
Favorite Soccer Team: New York Cosmos (Chinaglia-less) & Juventus F.C.
Favorite drink: “Espresso Nutini”, the way they prepare it at Café Niebaum~Coppola in North Beach, San Francisco.
Why "MBF Tod@y"?: It was the title of my column on Super Console, the first Italian magazine devoted to the Sony PlayStation back in the days.
What does the "F" in MBF stand for?: ...Frank? Filibuster? Frolic?
