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.

Monday's here. You know what that means. What'd You Get? time, once again.
If you're new here, all you have to do is post all the stuff you got over the past week. If you're not new, you know the drill and I shouldn't have to repeat myself. Seriously. This week, I picked up three more games for my Xbox 360, which is good, since I'm almost done with GTA IV: 
And it only cost me $80. How? Target is having a sale this week. Six games are special purchases: buy any two of the six and they throw in Mass Effect for free. Srsly. They're just giving them out. Gears of War and Rainbow Six Vegas 2 are two of the games, along with Ninja Gaiden II and Assassin's Creed and two others I can't remember. Gears, Vegas 2 and Assassin's Creed are also $20 off each, so if you want to pick up any of them and Mass Effect, go now before Target realizes they are fools. So, Dtoid community, what the hell did you get this week?

Other than that I bought some beer.
a badass Zelda shirt,
"The Cake is a Liar" shirt,
and a shirt dealing with scurvy.
almost therrrre.
also, the Gears online community is awesome... eveen if most of them are only spanish-speaking.
Hit me up if you want to play some co-op. and be sure to download all of the maps. They're all free
Also, if I didn't have all the games in that deal already (save for Ninja Gaiden 2, but I'll rent that) I would likely take advantage of it. Nice find.
Also, I found a not copy of not MegaMan Battle Network, which I am not emulating and not enjoying. (wha huh?)
Also, I got a rock
I've yet to play Bully.
Bleh.
I don't remember the last time I played a game with such a hilariously godawful story. I'm not sure if it would make sense even with a little explaining, but they don't even TRY to explain it. It's kind of funny in a SotN sense I guess, bad voice acting and all, but at least SotN story made SOME sense.
But, it's Ninja Gaiden so it doesn't bother me very much as I've been too busy painting the NG world with blood and severed limbs to care. Quite happy with the game overall.
