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.

Square Enix has yet another teaser up (what is it with teasers? I sense a post coming from yours truly on that ... ) for another game to be announced. It started out as just trees, but now there's a dragon and a boy with a sword riding him. Some music plays in the background, and the actual page source has no clues to what it might be for. To try and determine what the game could be, I did some Matlocking and checked out the libraries for Square, Enix and Taito, just to be sure it wasn't some trick. After sadly realizing it wasn't ActRaiser-related and seeing it had nothing to do with Taito's library, I asserted that it had to come from Square's past, and after a brief study of the page and Square's games from days gone by, I came to the conclusion that this could only be Romancing SaGa 4, and I am 99.99999% certain of that. What leads me to think it's Romancing SaGa 4 for certain? - It's the fourth numbered installment in the series, matching up with the four on the page - The music playing in the background is from past Romancing SaGa games - Tomomi Kobayashi, former Romancing Saga head artist, has stated in his blog that he is working with Square Enix on something new - Romancing SaGa has boys with swords and dragons - It would make sense to resurrect an old franchise The clock still has about 5 days worth of time to go, meaning the announcement should happen late on July 4 or early on July 5, depending on your location. We also don't know what consoles it will be on or if it will even be *gasp* a digitally downloadable title or a retail title, so those are things to look forward to. But yeah, surprise is ruined, kids. There will always be next time, though.

Living the dream since March 16, 2006
I was just playing the PS2 remake of the first RS, and I could go for a new HD Romancing SAGA game(as in, I hope it's for PS3).
Kinda makes me worried though that it's just another remake of the first Final Fantasy(the name being a reference to the group of heroes).
I wouldn't mind a new IP though.
If it is based on an existing francise though, I'd much prefer a SAGA sequel to another Final Fantasy remake.
...Nevermind. I'll go sit myself in the corner in timeout. <:P
Way to be wrong, Nihon.
