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.

This weekend, I went to the amazing Cincinnati Mega-NARP, better known to me as Destructicon: The Beginning. Needless to say, it was amazing. AMAZING. I actually have to get that whole "I went to the NARP and here's what went down" thing written, and alas, my job hunt continues today, so I don't have a whole lot of time to write about it. But while I can say it, everyone who was there is fucking awesome and I love you all.
However, I didn have enough time to sit here and take care of Destructoid's weekly community feature to show off all the cool crap you got, What'd You Get? Want to play along? It's simple: just follow my lead and post all the cool stuff you got over the past week. Didn't get anything cool? Don't worry, because you've got a whole week until the next one comes around. :) This weekend at the NARP, we went to an awesome retro game store in Cincinnati and I bought a few things. Most of them were prizes for the Does It Suck? contest I held, which will be sent out as soon as I get boxes for the remaining prizes I haven't given/sent. But I also bought something for myself, a game that was surprisingly only $5. Why? I don't know. But it's worth more than that to me: 
Also, I got a Wii points card so I can do WiiWare reviews (yay!) and I'm current in queue for a Wii Fit review copy. I hope. So, what did you, the Destructoid Community, get this week?

Last week I got:

No, wait I got FFTactics for the PSP and a new dualshock 2. My old one finally crapped out and I'm still playing PS2 games.
Also Pendelton where the hell did you find that?!
Also waiting on Luc to release Eternity's Child. Although I suppose it's better he takes his time to make sure it's done right, but I'm just so damn impatient.
Yes, my wallet nearly died.
I've already lost like, 5 pounds in the last week, but I guess when you're fat it just kinda goes fast.
I opened that terrible thing that pendelton21 posted, and played through it at the Gamestop where I work.
It really is terrible.
Really.
Going to pick up Lego Indy and NG2 tomorrow, though.
I think I got nothing this week. Oh yeah I did get Devil May Cry 4: Not so special European Edition. But tomorrow I will get a epic (late) birthday present! MAILMAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!
Earlier in the week, I got: EyeToy Play $4, EyeToy (PS2) $15, and Saints Row for 360 $20. So much NARP coverage, and still, even after some of the pics, I wonder if large and/or tall men like me would even be welcomed, LOL.
and thanks Nihon! none of this woulda been possible if u didnt pick me and foo up and give us a ride there n back! thanks again, that was awesome!
thanks to everyone that mad this possible!
