About Me
Oh, hi there. Didn’t see you enter. Anyways, welcome to my humble little blog. For those of you not familiar with who I am, the name’s Brian. I’m 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.

Recently, I posted the nine games that were my finalists for 2009 Game of the Year. However, that's not all, because there are two more awards that are community-based, ones you will play a part in:
Community Moment of the Year -and- Story of the Year (not the band) For these two new awards, it's up to you to pick the winners. All you have to do is pick the community moment of the year and the best story Destructoid has done throughout the entire year of 2008. One vote per person, with votes being taken up until the last second I post my awards on Tuesday. Or, if you're looking for a more concrete deadline, 7 p.m. EST (6 p.m. CST, 4 p.m. PST, midnight UTC, etc.) on Tuesday. The awards will go up later in the evening. How to vote, you ask? Simply post the Community Moment of the Year and Story of the Year, including links to both (if relevant) in your reply. Easy as that. I'll tally up the winners and announce them on Tuesday, so get crackin' on it.

Community moment: Shit, I can't think of any besides Ronburgandy hitting on Nintendoll in the comments (Redefines adorable!)
Story of the year: Fuck man, so much has happened in the year. I plan on doing something to catalog major stories on Dtoid for 2009. But as far as 08, um ... Cashwhore!
While his blog is an empty shell these days I feel the Whiteboy experience transcended all things I thought were possible in this life. RIP Longcat, RIP.
Story of the Year: Atlas is Fontaine
I present you the Whiteboy experience unfettered!

I'll make sure to make a list of all my fav cblogs to come out in '09... If I don't get hit by a bus.
The Dtoid Cards by The GHost maybe? I have to echo Atlas, Whiteboy's blogs are very good. Maybe even my own Chad and friends blog? It was a lot of fun to make. It's too hard to choose one in 5 mins. I'll get back on this.
Thus my Community Moment of the Year is: Takeshi, MrSadistic and all the rest posting viXen's half nude pics in the comments of her blog. She got flamed from here to timbucktoo. 100 comments please!
I'd link you but she deleted her blawgs, yo.
Story of the Year? Err... Destructoid Condoms? No seriously, I can't remember the best of them so don't take that as my vote for SotY.
but this is a hard one, i'm gonna say of the top of my head the troll in irc a few weeks ago?
Story of the Year: Spacecat's Megaman 9 leak.
Am I the only human being on this site who felt that we were being too harsh on the guy?
Also, Necros being set on fire is the best thing to ever happen to Dtoid.
I can't really remember who or what but that frontpage article getting raped by the community with all those SFW shooped porn pics. That shit was hilarious.
PLZ
Also, Necros being lit on fire was epic. That should win CMotY.
Story of the year....does Eternity's Child Review count as a story?
Yeah it was an editorial piece about something. I didn't even read the story I just laughed!
http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/Vixen/cod4-right-now
As for story of the year? Shit... umm, community post or otherwise? I think that that Ikaruga piece by Zulu was my favorite piece of this year
SpaceCat Leak of MegaMan 9 for story. That new made my year :)
IRC trolls were great too though. And I totally forgot about redefining adorable. Poor RonB was confused as hell as to why his username suddenly changed...possibly the monorail incident at PAX.
