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.

Today was Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday. The legendary leader of the American civil rights movement always preached of using non-violence against white oppression of minorities, including African-Americans. It is a powerful lesson from a man who should always be remembered both here and abroad for not just how he stood up, but for everything he stood for, for peoples in all nations.
So what did I do? I put two crappy characters in a match and let them fight it out. Oh well. Who came out on top? Find out below! Keep going. Almost... Okay, no more joking around. Here it is: ROUND 2 – MATCH 8 (Navi Bracket) (7) Crash Bandicoot - 1 vote (15) Glover – 20 votes This one wasn't close from the get-go, either. Glover moves on to the quarterfinals to face Ty the Tasmanian Tiger. And with two sets of Round 2 matches done, we move into the Tingle bracket for the final four before the quarterfinals. Last time we saw an upset and a blowout. What will happen this time between: 
ZOMG Boobtendos vs. 
Don't wanna miss a thing? Should've missed Revolution X. Lara Croft and Aerosmith tangle in Match 9. Vote now! (Voting ends 12:00 a.m., January 24, 2008)

and shes got boobs to boot.
Oh and that game is pretty shite too.
Ooooh! I'm so Pringles that I don't even need no mustache! That was so vicious, I think you're gonna have to go the hospital to get some topical cream for that burn!
But in all seriousness, Aerosmith. Revolution X was not that great and I have no intention of even considering buying their version of Guitar Hero.
Aerosmith had a good song in GH II and Revolution X was good lulz as a kid.
Lara has had one decent game out of how many? And how far has she set back female characters in gaming?
