About Me
Oh, hi there. Didnt see you enter. Anyways, welcome to my humble little blog. For those of you not familiar with who I am, the names Brian. Im 24 years old and hail from Findlay, Ohio. I work at the local newspaper here as a copy editor, putting my four long years of college to actual use. Kind of. I think.
For those of you who might recognize me from elsewhere, I work as Assistant Gaming Editor over at Blogcritics Gaming and as Features Editor over at Tomopop. It's a lot of work, but it's worth it because I get to do a lot of cool shit with a lot of cool people.
I've been gaming since the relatively young age of around 3 and I've played plenty of games, both good and bad. I'm continuously expanding my gaming collection, which has become more of an archive in recent years as I'm focusing on collecting older, less well-known titles. You'd honestly be surprised on what people are missing out on in bargain bins...
Other than gaming, I love anime, manga, sports, movies, TV, and a whole lot more. I also happen to have something of a legendary love for Cammy, to the point that I am the site's unofficial official Cammy fanboy. And yes, I do play as her in Street Fighter and do so quite well, too.
Also, I am Chad Concelmo's B.F.F., my prize for coming in first in The Great Retro Quiz .18 - ActRaiser. Accept no substitutes. Not even Aerox.

A very interesting little article up over at MTV's Multilpayer Blog on Capcom and how they decide what games to port. Turns out, the big decision makers are... us?
“We go to our community to see what games should be brought back from the library,” said John Diamonon, Associate Product Manager at Capcom. According to the story, they look at the poll results on GameSpot as one of their "market indicators." Another? eBay. “Sometimes we see games on eBay, and that’s how you see what games people are willing to spend $80 on,” Diamonon said. “It’s certainly not the only thing we do... But sometimes we look there to assess the market value of a game.” So in other words, the harder to find, more expensive games translate into being ones that are more popular. It's a really simple idea, and I'm kind of wondering why it didn't catch on earlier. Maybe it's just that there are some traditional ways to evaluate markets that haven't changed and that are standard. Now, we can only hope other developers are using similar methods (Square-Enix and Atlus, I'm looking at you two), but it's kind of cool that Capcom is trying to give gamers a break when it comes to these higher prices. Even if they are doing it to make a quick buck of their own. In the end, if it means we get more classics and quality remakes and that Capcom gets to live on another day, that's fine with me. Oh, and if you're reading this, Mr. Diamonon, bring all your Mega Mans to the Wii. Please. Thank you.

do we REALLY need another MvC2 port? I wouldn't want another. Port 3rd strike with online capabilites please? I guess MvC2 could do the same, but I gurantee all you'll see will be Cable, Sentinal, and Storm online.
we're talking rare though? How about a actual Red Earth release outside the arcades?
anything on Wii with that blue dude, where I can just go at it classic d-pad style.
Also, HD Ducktales remix. Please.
GO!
Anyway, my pick would be Namco X Capcom.
