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.

Shaq wins in a landslide. He moves on to Round 2, but just who will he face? That’s for you to decide. And what a match up this next match brings us…

BIG THE FUCKING CAT

God damn him. I love Sonic and I loved Sonic Adventure, but I hated that fucking cat and his levels that take a fucking hour each to complete. He's like the exact opposite of how a Sonic game should be. FAST.

HE IS SLOW. SLOW IN THE HEAD.

Big the cat, and in an interesting side note... why you gotta mix tingle up in all this? His DS game is AWESOME and he's fucking hilarious.

Even though E.T is one of the worst games ever made, I'm still going to go with Big the Cat.

I'm gonna have to say E.T. because his game sucked more balls.

@Bovine: Honestly, a lot of people find him annoying. I, too, loved his DS game, but some of the characters in the tournament (namely Toad) I personally like. So it's a matter of perception against.

I hate ET the character, I loathed the movie even as a child, I hate ET the game, but really, who doesn't.

Still voting for Big the fucking cat.

ET because his head looks like balls. Anything that looks like balls should be shot down.

...except balls. I have some and I'd like to keep 'em.

Big.

ET was a bad franchise, a really bad franchise, but it's nothing in comparison to that imbecilic monstrosity.

I don't even know who that second character is. I'm going to have to vote for him. E.T.'s game may have been utterly vile, but the movie was good. He gets points for that.

E.T. I don't know enough about Big to quote anything about him, but I'd rather have that cat by my side than a frail-looking alien.
