Hello once again my lovely dtoiders! ScottyG here with yet another reserve recap! :D


this took way too long to set up, but was totally worth it :D

So yeah, I've been playing a lot of Modern Warfare 2 in my spare time. Decided to take a bit of a break from SSFIV, or at least cut back on playing it. I've reached that point where I feel like I should be better than I am, but anybody with actual skill destroys me. This might not be too bad, but I still don't feel like I'm learning anything. At least in Modern Warfare 2 I'm good enough to get by and can still pick up things easily.

I've also been growing a beard! It's only been for a few weeks though, and only because a friend asked me to for a part in her short film. Was planning to immediately shave it off when that's done tomorrow, but thanks to Gandysampras I've learned how to deal with the itching and irritation. What do you think dtoid? I'll post a picture in the forums tonight (gotta get that badge, yo!) for comparison.

Also, Beat Box Dog sings Trololo:


Right, now on with the recaps!
