What'd You Get? - The Edition Where I Explain Absences
NihonTiger90 \| 10:46 PM on 10.26.2009	11 comments

Hey folks. Sorry I've been absent, but life has kept me busy lately. I've been tending to Tomopop as we grow and I've been taking on a lot of work with that, plus I had some personal stuff go down, but it's all ok now. I'll try and get back in the swing of things with writing, though :)

To start, let me once again do a weekly installment of What'd You Get?, and this week, I've got a ton. And a few excuses to where I'll be in the future should I disappear for a few days. Trust me: I've got a good reason.

That reason? At 10 a.m. tomorrow, Forza 3 will be in my hands. At 10:30 a.m., I will be playing it until I have to be dragged away to work. Repeat as necessary.

I also picked up Left 4 Dead 2 on PC with three buddies and I'll be checking out the demo tomorrow. Looking forward to that. I might eventually buy it for 360, too, so I can play with those of you on that console. My Steam ID is NihonTiger, if you want to add me for future zombie-killing fun.

Add in that Champions Online is free this weekend (I haven't bought the game only because I know I will get sucked in and the monthly fees are going to kill me) and I might not be around much until next Monday. Oh, and I have Tomopop to tend to, as well.

I'm also considering buying Borderlands on PC via Steam, so if anyone wants to go foursies with me or needs someone for a four-pack, let me know.

That's all for me this week. What'd all of you get?

NOTE: NihonTiger's XBL Gamertag is NihonTiger90. He is taking on all challengers in Forza 3 looking for a good race. This will probably continue until he either tires of it or Forza 4 comes out.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Nihon, I might be interested in a Borderlands 4-pack, but like you I have Left 4 Dead 2 on preorder and I can't see playing both simultaneously. As for what I got... I went a little crazy at the Toys R Us sale last week. Picked up Brutal Legend, Uncharted 2, Fallout 3 GOTY, Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, Civilization Revolution, Farcry 2, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal, and Maximo 2: Army of Zin. Not bad for about $200.

BORDERLANDS!!! PC edition.

I played all day, then I booted it up around 7 and next thing I know it was already time for Conan. It's going to be a good time waster until Dragon Age comes out next week.

garison

I got a cell phone! Damn finally I can have mobile internet :)

Guagloves

Borderlands and Space Invaders Extreme 2.

Elsa

Lucky you getting Forza!! :)

Steel Squirrel

Tekken 6 tomorrow. :D
I can't wait!

Funktastic

I got some TIME, which is invaluable when you have 5 full courses and 2 part-time jobs, to update my "collection" file with 2 months of games to blog about!

ShawnKelfonne

I got Half-Minute Hero for my PSP. Excellent fun, and I can't believe how well it all ties together.

Char Aznable

Borderlands for 360 and South Park Tower Defense for XBLA. The last one is surprisingly fun, and there is a ton of fanservice if you're into South Park.

Zippyduda

Added on Steam :] I'm Zippy. I'll be playing either (Main unless someone REALLY wants her) Lilith as an Assassin, (Secondary) Roland as Support/Medic or (Tertiary priority) Sniper Dude.

Brick doesn't appeal to me.

Haxan

Walked into my favorite retro gaming store with my PS3 to have it looked at since it is overheating like mad. Walked out with a Sega Nomad.

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 23 years old and hail from Lorain, Ohio, just outside of Cleveland. 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.
