A pungent satire of the videogame press by Cristiano Bonora aka Dingo Stylish and his team (Half Moon and Round Kiss), 100% Made in Milan (r). GameShit ("One magazine to shit them all") is a new brilliant online video series about the ultimate game mag, GameShit. The videos - available in both English and Italian - will appeal to those who have a deep knowledge of the inner workings of the game press world. Trivia: The HQ of GameShit is - gosh - the Pirelli tower, Milan's tallest skyscraper (that is: Milan's only skyscraper). The highlights from episode one include a telephone call to Kaz Hirai (RIIIIDGE RACER!), the phenomenology of game reviews, reviewing as a scatological practice, EDGE as... the HORROR!!!, and a stealth-trip to Itagaki's mansion. Memorable quotes: "What do people want from a game magazine? Cheats and breasts. Big breasts". "And reviews. Uninformative reviews. Poor reasoned. Full of trash talking, constantly avoiding the point. Sort of a portable encyclopedia of the most abused English words, such as inspiring, terrific, fun-packed, ass-kicking, franchise, negotiate, idiosyncrasy, and so on". "Right! Then, what's the first rule of professional game reviewing? "Never write what you think, never think what you write".Highly recommended. And may Chuck Norris be with you.
