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.

Ohhhhhhh boy.
The news broke today that Monolithsoft's Wii title, Disaster: Day of Crisis, has been "indefinitely delayed," and well... those perhaps aren't the best words to Wii owner's ears. Not after some bad experiences I've had with projects being delayed indefinitely in the past that I was really looking forward to. Was I looking forward to the title? Yes, yes I was, in the sense it might be a good game that might spark some third-parties to keep thinking outside the box and to stop with the mini games already. There are times I feel like developers do need a cattle prod to the ass to help get Wii development truly going, as it seems right now like only a handful of them are actually trying. Now, as a Wii owner, this is not good news. It brings up memories of Project H.A.M.M.E.R. getting this treatment and later getting cancelled so they could work on a mini-game compilation. This doesn't mean Disaster will suffer the same fate, but the odds are not looking fantastic, if you ask me. I don't know why they'd tell Monolithsoft to pull the plug on this game, not when the Wii is taking a savage beating for being too non-gamer friendly. Sure, Mad World helped deflect some of that scorn, but it's still there. The delay is not the bad part in this... it's the adjective before that's scary. All I have to say is I hope for the best... but I'm preparing myself for the worst, just in case. Disaster didn't seem like a big-selling title such as a Wii Fit or Wii Play, but it likely would fill a need Wii owners desperately have. At least we have Boom Blox and LostWinds to keep our little minds busy for now...

Living the dream since March 16, 2006
The way I'm thinking is they didn't know what direction the wii would take off before they announced it. So they made equal amounts of "Hardcore" and casual games. And they'd see which way the majority of people would sway. So now that the general public just wants casual games, they are putting their efforts into that.
It really pisses me off to think that they could do this, as I've loved Nintendo for a long time. Now it just feels like they are writing me off.
What does sell is shovelware crap and minigame compilations, and that's what you'll get.
I remember when the Wii was announced, the things people thought off, the posibilities, the amazing games and the critics where silenced by the legion of fanboys.
I hope you're all enjoying your gimmicky waggle system and one good game every few months, hey now Nintendo fans know what PC fans go through all the time.
stop with the mini games already
stop with the mini games already
