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.

The Wiimote Is Destructable, After All.
Brian Szabelski | 11:44 PM on 05.06.2008 15 comments


Yep, you read that right - someone finally destroyed the Wiimote, the killer of TVs, windows and small pets across the nation. And it figures that the people to do it were our dear old friends at BlendTec as part of their "Will It Blend?" series.

Of course, in the past, they've blended both Halo 3 and Guitar Hero, as well as Chuck Norris. All of which can be rewatched here.

Wii fans may want to turn away right now...



God, I love these videos.

He called the Wiimotes "Wiis"!

To be fare, they didn't blend Chuck Norris, just his enemy ninjas. Chuck survived.

My favorite is when he did the glow sticks, that was very unique looking. And in this one, the Wiimotes looked like they took more of a pounding before submitting to the blades than a lot of other stuff I've seen him blend.

@Gynecologist Cobra: That’s the first thing I thought when I saw the title of this post, LOL.

Man, I love these “Will It Blend?” videos. Dickson is hilariously deadpan, and I love the little things he says, like “strapless smoke”. Hilarious.

Never go strapless, it can lead to King Kong rampages.
