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.

You kind of look like Michael Bolton from Office Space. You just remind me of him for some reason, you're not an exact clone or anything.

Kotaku = Failure of Failed Fail.

A picture is worth a thousand words, sir, and your picture gives us an epic journey of pain, betrayal, not getting laid and fail. The moral of the story is without Destructoid first, you've got Nothing.



That is all.

How dare you, and what is this Katookey any ways and why is it in front of Dtoid? You are asking for it nerd! Make it right or get the hell off our site. I know that rhymes but it does not make it any less serious.

I'm pretty sure one of Excremento's Ten Commandments of Dtoid is something like, "Thou shalt have no other gods before Destructoid." BLASPHEMER.
