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? - WiiWare Blows Edition
Brian Szabelski | 2:05 PM on 05.19.2008 21 comments


YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Who's ready to MONDAY?!?!?
!







...










... wait, no one? You sure?

OK, then. Well, who's ready to show off all the cool shit you bought over the last week?
That's more like it.

Welcome once again to What'd You Get?, Destructoid's weekly feature where we show off
all the things we bought over the past week. Being video game related helps, but they don't
always have to be.

So, what'd I get? Well, I did get one game last week, a short but good one:



Haha, now you get my title, right? LostWinds? Blows? LOL...














I know, not funny.

And now, with my answer out in the open, it's now time to ask: what'd you get, Destructoid
community?



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Also, I got a massive hangover due to the fact I drank a bottle of Crown yesterday. :(

...and the receptionist here covering is wearing waaaaaaaay too much perfume, so that's working out well.

I finally bought a Nyko Perfect Shot. I not sure if it's really as uncomfortable as I think it is or if I'm just not used to it yet.

My sister picked up a Cobalt DS Lite, Cooking Mama, and Nintendogs.

These games are fun diversions for a minute or two, at least for me, so I was wondering where to go next with the DS. Any suggestions? Contra 4? Is there something along the lines of Final Fantasy Tactics (aside from the sequel coming out in a month or two)?

Lost Winds. I'll probably get Phantasy Star 2 or something else with the remainder of the points that I have left.
