So I beat Darksiders this weekend, and I have to tell you all I seriously fell in love with this game. I'm not sure how it happened either. There's nothing about it that really blew me away, and it's in no way innovative, but it just completely captured and pulled me in. There were even times the game got on my last nerve, but that didn't stop me from absolutely adoring Darksiders. The very last scene of the game, I literally jumped out of my seat and cheered. Trust me when I say that NEVER HAPPENS! Oh how I can't wait for the sequel.

So my life has been really hectic lately, and hence I haven't had any time to dedicate to Destructoid. When's the last time anyone remembers me posting anything in the cblogs? Exactly, I don't anymore. Things at Gamer Limit have gotten so busy that I'm spending the majority of my free time writing for them. We are pushing really hard to roll out video content for the site in the new year, and I'm one of the people trying to spear head that effort. Suffice to say it's not going to be cheap, and it's not going to be easy, but it will be worth it. Check out the site if you get a chance guys. There are some big changes coming!

Well I hope everyone had a good weekend. Let's get to the weekend recaps shall we ...

?-Why do people post chat logs? It's just a huge wall of text that's typically incomprehensible.

R-Ace Flibble shares pictures of the Guardian's weird front page. I don't even know what The Gaurdian is honestly. Is it a newspaper? A magazine? A dinner menu?


F-Oh come on guys, you know I gotta fail this!

F-This is how to fail at making an introduction post people.

F-This is just full of fail.

F-And then the same guy posts even more fail. How disappointing.

It is because we must spread the joy that was shared that night in the chat that we post chat logs. And the balls/awesomeness that big daddy, Little Sister and Dex had for showing up and entertaining us.


*note to self: no more chat logs*

Anyway, thanks for the recaps.

Dig those 'caps.

And I hope that by the time the video content comes out, it'll mean more of an opportunity for us to hear your lovely voice. :)

Here's to hoping the video comes out great. Thanks for taking time out to hit the Caps.

On a kind of related note what the hell guys? For the love of Christ can we PLEASE get a non-cynical, kinda optimistic, Monthly Musing up in this piece? I realize we're gamers and geeks by enxtension but c'mon! Otherwise I'll have to write a blog that actually involves opinion and lord knows nobody wants that.

Glad to see someone's keeping track of community activities. As a newcomer, I have no idea where to start. Thanks for the post, CR. I'll be following you to keep track of what's going on.

By the way, how do I get more readers/comments on my blog posts? Thanks.
