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.

We're almost through the Navi Bracket, and it's sure been one interesting bracket so far, starting with the first-round upset of Navi all the way to the squash Alex Kidd laid down recently.
Speaking of that, Alex Kidd's got to have a second-round opponent. Who will it be? ROUND 1 – MATCH 14 (Navi Bracket) (6) Ty the Tasmanian Tiger - 8 votes (11) The Shotoclone Army - 5 votes Ty wins and moves on to battle Alex Kidd. And I was hoping the Shotoclones would win. Oh well. Still ought to be a good fight, right? I hope? Anyways, it's time to move on to the next match and move one step closer to finishing out the Navi Bracket. Both of tonight's characters come from well-known games and are either famous or infamous in the gaming community: 
The Character Activision Was Trying To Rip Off With Ty .vs 
Do I Have To Explain? Crash Bandicoot versus Metal Gear Solid 2's Raiden. Vote now! ... This isn't going to be close at all, is it?

'Nuff said.
Raiden is actually pretty good when you look at it from the scope of the game as opposed to "aw mah gaw i kent paly saled snek nao D:".
Ugh.
crash was the shit in his day

Raiden is a tool, but a necessary one. Crash is just fucking annoying.
@ Orcist;
Bring it. I'll get up 10,000 times. :oP
As annoying as Raiden is in MGS 2, the fact that Kojima implemented him just to mess with gamers is lulz worthy and almost makes up for his aforementioned annoyingness.
@ myaimistrue
He is going to have a heart attack. That mug is OLD.
Furries FTL.
Crash.
I love Raiden. I kinda hate that Kojima went out of his way to make Raiden cooler for MGS4, because the people that hated Raiden in the first place don't deserve anything.
