Well I guess the first thing to get out of the way is that I am a game store employee. Luckiy my soul is saved from the evil of places like Gamestop and EB. Instead I work at C&C Games in Fremont, Ohio, a little slice of heaven in the hell of a podunk/retard town of asshats and wiggers.
Other than that I'm your average gamer nerd, my hobby luckily turning into something I can use at work. Even if my expertise seems to be playing the games my bosses can't stand, like RPGS and crazy ass 'unique' titles >.>;. Can't complan though, since working here has given me some more self-confidence and access to my bosses' vast experience in the gaming industry.
Plus I can get sweet swag, like my bitchin' Fable store display (which makes a nice night-stand XD) or the various posters that I eventually have to throw out because of my damn pets =P.
Besides that I can't think of anything else to put here, save for the fact that I love video game music. From the works of Mitsuda and Sakimoto, or even all the way back to Uetmatsu's early days with Final Fantasy, I have quite a large collection that I tend to listen to when either doing a few bits of writing or working =D.
For some reason I figured I'd make this a quick little post, not wanting to bore you lot with my opinions on things. However I should warn that I am very tempted to do a rant about Soul Nomad very soon, followed up with something about Castlevania when I get my grubby man-mitts on it.
But, for now, enjoy this little two-part vid I found on Youtube. It's done by Armake21, a sort of Youtube 'celebrity' known for his AVGN-style video game reviews. Some may hate these game reviewers, but I personally find Armake and his ilk (PlayitBogart and Urinatingtree being personal favorites as well) to be a good source of humor and a bit of nostalgia.
Granted it's the darker half of nostalgia, those painful memories of shitty games you played as a kid. In fact the game that Armake rips on in this video is one I owned as well, a terrible piece of plastic called 'Quatro Adventure'. Yet seeing the game getting the royal reaming it deserves, even if it's in a video out almost 20 years since the cartridge came out, brings a smile to my face.
