Hello my lovely dtoiders! <3

You might have noticed that these are the weekend recaps, and might be wondering why they're up on a Tuesday. Well our usual weekend recapper SilverDragon wasn't able to do it over the weekend, but none of the other reservists were available. Why it's done on a Tuesday is because I was in New Jersey over the weekend trying to visit a friend and hanging out with many of the NJ/NYC dtoiders. :D

Typical weekend trip really. Typical good times, typical misunderstandings, typical drunkenness. Played beer pong for the first time, and of course it was with a "bro" who took it way too seriously. Managed to get a cheap fightstick for the 360 finally. Played an epic Sailor Moon brawler, and watched people play Double Dragon: The Movie: The Game. OH, and I also played Samba De Amigo on arcade!

Of course the hilights were the time I spent with people. Killing time playing some games with Tino, playing some co-op Splinter Cell and KoF; spending most of Friday with Val running errands and seeing the sights; going to Digital Press with Tino, Andy, Chelsea, and Elliot... times like these are the real reason I do most of my travelling. <3

Anyways, RECAPS!!!
