My name's Pietro (est.1985)- but it's far easier saying 'Peter' so we'll leave it at that! I'm a pure-blooded Aussie born of two Italian-borne parents originating from Napoli...OK. That leaves me a consolidated smatter of Football-fanatic, Ferrari-fawner, competitive swimmer, passionate skiier, avid golfer - a red-blooded, true-blue Italian whose soil is firmly based in Melbourne, Australia but whose roots are in small village in the mountains of Naples. Like any Australian I adore sport, and take to it with abandon at every opportunity. I also have this fond passion for gaming, reading and (surprised?) writing. Gamespot has provided me with a thorough means to channel all my non-athletic, brain-powered leisure outlets. I have recently been honored with an invitation to the exceptional officer-team over at the Community Contributions Union. A large part of my interest at GameSpot has been to expand my writing ability and scope coupled with fuelling my insatiable appetite for the pursuit we love-- gaming. Subsequently, the CCU has proven to be both a canvas and a mentor to my writing technique, and I am eternally grateful for that opportunity and the educated (they'd like to think so!) friends I have garnered along the way. Needless to say, I've accepted the position and am giving it my all to ensure other participants receive the same attention and support that I did. Be sure to check out my reviews and blog entries and pop in and say "Hi!" over at the CCU, because I'm sure my twisted sense of humour and overly-descriptive discourse will provide AT LEAST a snicker or two-- a laugh here or there is just gravy.
