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.

After Wario Land on the Wii got leaked recently, and once we found out with would feature a cel-shaded 3-D Wario in a 2-D old-school style game, I got rather excited. The leaked fact sheet did have some screen shots, but they weren't the clearest. Above, you'll see a batch of four screenshots purported to be from the game. They show off how great the game's going to look, and after the disappointment of Master of Disguise, I hope Nintendo goes all out to redeem themselves and make this game awesome. Yes, this is a full Wii disc release and not a WiiWare game, even though it looks like one. It's also Nintendo's first game of this style in almost 10 years. Let's hope their skills for making 2-D console titles aren't too rusty.

More than anything though, I hope that this game includes...
WALUIGI!!! *Does Crotch Chop*
I'm really hoping for something epic here. Let's shoot for Super Mario World prestige, 'k Nintendo? None of this watered down difficulty NSMB crap.
It's pretty exciting and not to mention surprising to see Nintendo put this much attention into a Wario game. This is shaping up nicely. And as for this being Nintendo's first game of this style in 10 years, have you forgotten New Super Mario Bros and Yoshi's Island DS?
Just saying. Good write up otherwise. This game's gonna be great.
Also, why is the title of the blog in the form of a question? These are real, Game Informer has them already.
