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.

What'd You Get? - Six Days Left Edition
Brian Szabelski | 5:25 PM on 04.28.2008 22 comments


So once again, it's Monday. And that means one thing: showing off everything you bought over the past week!

Yes, it's time once again for What'd You Get?, the weekly feature all about your new purchases. It's simple to join in - just post what you've got over the past week. That's it.

This week, again, I didn't get anything. It's finals week for me, and I am graduating on Saturday, six days away. Thus, the reason for the title.

I assume a lot of you got something this week, though, or more specifically, one of two things this week. I don't have either of those things yet, but they are both on my list of things to get. And yes, Lost Odyssey is still on that list, too.

So, what'd all of you get?



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

And since my birthday is this Saturday I may be getting a 360 within the next few weeks.

^_^ I am an incredibly happy panda.

I picked up Lego Star Wars II for 360 and my VGA adapter showed up, so I'm enjoying playing all my games on my PC monitor. I also had to invest in a new mouse, grabbing a new PC headset while I was at the store.

A bunch of old comics including the special 300th issue of Iron man, all for 7 dollars. God, I love tag sales!

I got my R4 a few days ago. It's absolutely amazing.

I only have a 1 gig card so I need to invest in a bigger one.

I only play backed up games that I own...saves me from switching out the card.

I got 30 Rock on DVD, and I’m getting GTA IV at midnight tonight. Congrats on graduating, dude!

6 days? Lucky. But let's see here, I got Tabula Rasa, a few friends of mine convinced me to play it with them, so I got it off amazon for $15. Unfortunately, my computer(that I thought could run it) can't, and I'm now forced with waiting for my graduation present *crosses fingers* to play it.

I was doing swell with P3:FES and Zack and Wiki, then Gamestop went crazy and refurbished the rest of the SMT series for 39.99 each. So I added DDS1 and Nocturne.
And now im off to not celebrate GTA IV.
