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.

So tomorrow is the big day, when I move in to my new place down in Ohio before I start work on Wednesday. Of course, that also means that I'll likely be going a bit quieter over the next few days because I won't have constant Innernet access until the 12th. However, I will have my games, which I'll probably be playing most of the time I'm home.
Which brings me to What'd You Get?, the Dtoid Community Feature where you tells us what you've bought over the past week. I expect to hear a lot of people say "Fallout 3", which I don't have but wish I did. If you're old, you know the rules. If you're new, to play along, just tell us what you got. It's that easy. I didn't get anything this week because of the move and all the costs associated with it. Can't afford much outside of a strict budget right now. How about you guys and gals?

Oh, and Magic: The Gathering Cards.
But I wish I had gotten Fallout 3 and Fable 2
I also got Watching the Watchmen. Alright, that was last week but whatever.
i bought shipping to have my xbox 360 mailed to my new placer haha.
@Guagloves
I....I err....I *Ahem* I bought the strat book and it's pretty cool and the huge foldout map is awesome.
You play Magic? Sick. Are you even a bit excited for the XBLA release? I think it will be nice to play a quick game of magic when it's too late to get together with friends or whatever.
traded it in to pay off Animal Crossing though
No wait, I got Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness Episode 2.
I still don't know if I'm enjoying it, but it sure does glue me to the TV for a few hours.
Oh, and Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, which I haven't even opened because I'm a dumbass.
Fable 2 came in gamefly today and its shaping up nicely. I'm only 2 hours in, but I already like it a lot more than the first...although I'm incredibly tempted to pirate the NXE if only just for game installation. My disc drive is having a very hard time reading Fable 2 well, and its very frustrating.
And a bottle of MacAllen 12 year and Gentleman Jack to go with said games.
Also, I got a bunch of discount Halloween candy and accidently payed for another month of Gamefly so now I'm officially flat broke.
Been reinstalling all my PC games since I had to reinstall Windows, so that sucks. But oh well.
