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.

Over at Kotaku's sister car blog, Jalopnik, they've got some news on Forza Motorsport 3. Why they put the news there, I don't know. Maybe Crecente is a racing game-hater. For his sake, I hope he's not. The article talks about new info that Turn 10 has announced concerning Forza 3, which includes an official partial car list and the first officially confirmed track, the Circuit de la Sarthe in France, home to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Consider the announcement of this intentional because the 2009 24 Hours of Le Mans just finished up this weekend, with one of the announced cars - the Peugeot Sport 908 - having actually been the race winner. Of course, they fail miserably in their write up, stating "Previously the only way you could act out your French endurance dreams was by going to the Playstation-based series, Gran Turismo" and completely negelcting the fact that the 24 Hours of Le Mans was the season-ending race in Codemaster's GRID. Or that Sega and Konami made arcade games based on the race in the 1980s. Or that there are several PC games with the track. Or that Gran Turismo 4 was the only game in the series that even allowed you to race on the Circuit de la Sarthe. But I digress. That's just a small issue. What's more important is that they've announced the Circuit de la Sarthe is in the game and gave us a list of cars as well. It's just a partial list and really doesn't have any surprises ... well, except for one that I've highlighted in the list below: Road Cars: Alfa Romeo 8C Aston Martin DBS Aston Martin DB5 Vantage Audi R8 4.2L V8 Audi R8 5.2L V10 BMW 135i BMW E92 M3 Cadillac 2009 CTS-V Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Dodge Challenger SRT8 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR Ferrari California Ferrari F430 Scuderia Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano Fiat 500 Ford 1968 Shelby Mustang GT-500KR Ford GT Ford RS200 Honda Civic Honda NSX Jaguar XKR Lamborghini LP640-4 Lotus Elise Lotus Evora Maserati Gran Turismo Mercedes-McLaren SLR Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series MINI Cooper S Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR Nissan 370Z Nissan Sentra Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 Pagani Zonda C12-S Porsche 997 GT2 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Tesla Roadster TVR Sagaris Race Cars: #2 Audi Sport North America R8 #7 Team Bentley Speed 8 #8 Audi Sport Team Joest Audi R10 TDI #15 BMW Motorsport V12 LMR # 6 Team Cadillac Northstar LMP-02 #30 MOMO Doran Racing F333 SP #3 Peugeot Talbot Sport 905 Evo 1C #8 Peugeot Sport 908 #3 Toyota Motorsports GT-ONE TS020 #2 Audi Sport North America R10 TDI So there you have it. A partial list of cars that will be in Forza 3, many of them returning and one big surprise: the inclusion of the electric-powered Tesla Roadster in the game. Man, can October come quicker? Please?

Oh, and there was also Test Drive: Le Mans for the Dreamcast, and various consoles. So double fail for them.
Also, it's kickin' in.
I'm surprised the Nissan GTR hasn't been shown or mentioned. I would love that car in Forza.
Or the official Le Mans 24 Hours game released several years ago.
