If you have been as young and passionate about video games as I have been, and if you have spent part of your youth daydreaming about being able to work on your video game, then you are able to understand the rest of this story…

Don't bother the sleeping Smasher

It is always better not to disturb a smasher who is minding his own business. This is true in the game, when two or three are found next to each other, let's look again if there are fifty of them all together. In that case it would not be very smart to shoot in the pile, much less to shoot with an area weapon and above all one with the spread of fire. In this video we were testing the behaviour of the Smasher on editor, an enemy unit in the Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle game that if hit during the players' turn, moves towards them and hits them, even outside of their turn. Poor Rabbid Luigi ... I recommend watching until the end!

Chernobyl drama: #4 Pripyat Ghost city

This is the tallest building I could find in the city of Pripyat. I am not a great lover of heights, especially when comes down to buildings. I don’t have the same feeling with mountains as mountains, doesn’t have the habits to crumble into pieces if left abandoned, they don’t mind at all. Building don’t follow the same philosophy. Two months earlier, one of these giants collapsed, so being on top of this dinosaur was not relaxing stay, but the view of the ghost town of Pripyat, and the nuclear power plant in the background was magnetic. Pripyat was built in 1970 and was abandoned in 1986, forever. A city that was equipped with all the comforts a city could boast off. It was so beautiful that it was called the city of flowers. There were hotels, restaurants, bars, two hospitals, a theatre, a cinema, and a multipurpose center. At the time when people had to leave, Pripyat extended for 8 Km2 and had 49,000 inhabitants with an average age of 29 (a very young population). I took this photo because it shows the progress of nature regaining its own spaces, with this red sky and the nuclear plant at the center of the sunset, almost as if it was the eye of an evil god which scan the horizon.

Chernobyl drama: #2 Duga radar

The woodpecker, the nickname given to the Duga, a shortwave band military radar, which could be received all over the world (76-89). The Duga was born with the intention of creating a radar system that would be able to detect a possible missile attack by the United States. Obviously today, with radar technology but above all satellite technology, such a system would be totally useless.Being under the Duga makes you feel very small.. I wanted to photograph it because the Duga is now being dismantled, and it will no longer be possible to see it. It is a beast 150 meters high, 90 meters wide and 900 meters long.

The radio signal was a source of many speculations, such as theories about weather and mind control from the Soviets.

To the infinite and beyond

To the infinite and beyond

Until recently I would never have believed I would feel the desire to write things in a blog, much less willing to commit myself to do it assiduously. But then I discovered that not only is it fun, it's also a great stress reliever, great for balancing increasingly busy workdays…
