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.

New trailer arrives for Mega Man 2.5D
Brian Szabelski | 8:06 PM on 05.28.2009 30 comments




In March, Chad brought us all news about Mega Man 2.5D and its existence. The game, developed by Peter Sjostrand, is still a work in progress, but to further whet our appetites, we have a new trailer to drool over for this amazing fan-made game.

The new trailer shows off just how amazing this game is going to be, combining 2D sprites with 3D level platforming design. And it has co-op. Delicious, delicious co-op.



Watch it, love it and pray to God Capcom doesn't decide to turn into Square Enix all of the sudden. Emphasis on that last part.

Isn't Capcom the grandfather of pulling the "Square Enix" a la dozens of Mega Man sequels and spin-offs over the years?

@Video Cognito

I believe he's referring to Square Enix's habit of sending cease and desists to fan game projects.

Capcom, unlike Square Enix, is not a collective of walking dicks. They won't touch this. In fact, this dude should make a blog on Capcom Unity. Seth Killian would probably throw a parade in his honor.

This is freaking brilliant. The 2.5D seems like something somebody should have figured out a long time ago. So downloading when it comes out.

Dear. God.

That co-op looks amazing. Really thought out for two people, and not just two dudes doing the single player campaign together.

Oh my God. Co-op shouldn't work like that! But it does. Holy shit. Holy shit.

Well, this is a definite WANT from me. I won't have anyone to co-op with, but that is so amazingly cool. I wonder if both players die immediately if someone bites the dust, as that "shoot both pods at the same time" bit would be impossible to do on your own...

Man!

I can say, without exaggeration, that the Co-op is the greatest things I've ever seen.

Capcom won't shut it down now. Unlike Square Enix they don't think it's funny to let people spend years creating a game to bring on the fangasm that they could never produce and then shut them down at THE LAST FREAKING SECOND! (Yeah I still think they're total assholes for thhat)

You guys DO know this is fake right?

Well whatever. Don't expect this to be "released" because it's just a concept movie.
