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.

Brian Szabelski | 2:42 PM on 06.16.2008 18 comments


Hello, and welcome to another edition of What'd You Get?, where we all sit around and talk about all the cool things we got. After reading a few posts from people this past weekend, I am going on Craigslist and trying to dig up some good deals for next week. No luck yet, though.

I did get one tiny thing this past week, which was:



So, guys and gals of Dtoid, what'd you get this week?

MGS 2. Figure I need to replay these before the PS3 arrives at my house and I get sucked into MGS4. And I got a plane ticket for unspecified days to an unspecified "northwestern" event.

MGS4, which I am close to finishing. I just beat Ninja Gaiden 2 also.

I'm going to be borrowing the MGS Essential Collection from my bro. I feel like playing through them all again, this time in the correct chronological order.

Also, UEFA? It's pretty much just a FIFA game, although they usually play slightly different. I prefer Winning Eleven.

I got this:
(I hope it photobucket doesn't fuck it up. I it does I'm sorry)

Yes sir, I've got a hold of one! I'm a happy gamer now because you might know there were only 25000 pieces available.

I also got this:


and this:


EDS, you are damn right! I prefer Pro Evolution Soccer (Winning Eleven) as well. Much better game in my opinion. (btw EDS where are your blogs, I haven't read one in a while)

I just picked up Insecticide for the DS yesterday. Saw it at Best Buy for $20 and bought it on a whim.

I took the now-gen plunge and bought the 80-gig MGS4 bundle. My credit cards are screaming in pain, I think.
