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.

Worst. Character. Ever. - ROUND 1, MATCH 24 Brian Szabelski | 9:49 PM on 12.29.2007 21 comments

I’m stuck in Boston right now, watching the Pats smash the Giants into the ground to go perfect, much to my displeasure. Boston, you have enough sports championships… share with the rest of us, please! At least we’ll be destroying everyone in hockey again. Go Wings Go! All sports aside , we have a bit of a correction to make. There was a misnumbering at Match 18. It was mistakenly numbered as match 17. Therefore, last week was actually matches 22 and 23, not 21 and 22. This will not affect voting in any regards, as the match-ups are the same. I will go back and edit the posts to reflect this change, though. So that means tonight is the final match for the first round of Worst. Character Ever. In match 24, we will see our last two entrants battle, but we’ve got to deal with two other matches first. Who won? ROUND 1 – MATCH 22 (Tingle Bracket) (3) Aeris- 2 votes (14) Superman - 15 votes ROUND 1 – MATCH 23 (Tingle Bracket) (7) Pichu -15 votes (10) Wood Man (Mega Man) - 2 vote Pichu and Superman easily win, leaving us with one match left. So for one last time in the first round, let’s see who’s up: Behold his nasal powers! vs. Screw Nickelodeon. Boogerman against Tak in the last match of Round 1. Voting begins now!
