What'd You Get? - Columbus Day Edition
NihonTiger90 | 7:53 PM on 10.13.2008 21 comments


Well, it's Columbus Day, which means certain things here in the U.S. are closed, but at least around here, nothing changes. No days off school, nothing. But since I am still job hunting, I can spend some of my free time writing and some of it playing new games. Which is basically my introduction into What'd You Get? for this week.

New to the site? Want to play along? Just post what you got this past week. It is as simple as that, really.

As for this week, I got the following:





And I'm still playing through what I've gotten in weeks past. Damn backlog...

Anyways, what'd you guys all get this week?



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I ordered a Dell Mini 9 a couple weeks back (still waiting for it!) so no new games till that's paid off.

Right now I'm working on my Geometry Wars 2 scores. Still gunnin for Mr. Concelmo. This may take awhile.
ZeroTolo's Destructoid Blog
I've got Dead Space coming, but I'll be out of town for a couple days so I won't get to it until maybe Friday or Saturday. Other than that, I have to buy another year of Gold membership before the really good stuff comes out.

 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 23 years old and hail from Lorain, Ohio, just outside of Cleveland. 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.
