So, sorry this is late tonight, folks, but I was at work late. That's what happens when your co-workers screw up, then you catch their mistakes and you all have to correct it. Except instead of getting a pat on the back tomorrow, I'm going to get yelled at for not getting it right the first time ... even though I had no clue the mistake was made until I saw my co-worker's work because they never bothered to show me it when it was finished. Fun. *sigh*
But yeah, this is why I have games. They help me forget stress about things, like being stuck at work or getting older. And What'd You Get? is where you can tell us about the games you got or are getting this week. It's free to join in. Just post a comment. That's all.
Anyways, nothing new this week. Just waiting for the 27th to get here so I can play Forza 3. So no reason to pick anything up yet that will interfere with that, right, guys? Right?
So I got nothing this week but bitched at by my boss. What'd all of you get?
I got 4 hours into my next project when my boss caught me on his way out the door to tell me they needed it done before I left and, oh , by the way, we're changing the prime component so all the prep work I did was shot. Go go salary + overtime. Got home at 10:30 and spent 2 hours playing Last Remnant. Good times.
I got nothing. But I'm getting Uncharted 2, Machinarium, A boy and his Blob and Persona on wednesday. I'm also going to buy some jeans, OH, and I get to pay all my friends back for buying me lunch for the last month :)
King of Fighters 12 - Great, but AI is too easy and online is broken
Guilty Gear x2 reload - Why did I wait so long to play this?!?!?
Garou-Mark of the Wolves - Better than KOF12
The wait for Forza 3 is literally killing me, literally.
-Picking up Borderlands in 10 minutes! :)
-Demon's Souls shuld hopefully arrive in the mail before the weekend.
That should keep me happy for a while.
@Confusionbomb: you liking The Last Remnant? Despite the bad reviews I found it highly entertaining and addicting. I'd spend my day thinking up strategies and formations to try when I got home.

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.

Fallout 3 GOTY Edition. I waited a year for this and it was worth the wait.
Tekken 6 also next week, but I will save that for next week I suppose. ;)
