No, you're not in some sort of a time warp, gentle reader. Once again I'm forced to apologize for the lateness of one of my recaps. One of the side effects of the hacker gaining access to Destructoid's database is that the password on the Cblog Recap page was changed. Long story short, recappers don't have access to the e-mail address that account is tied to, so... late recap. Some posts from the time the hack was discovered seem to be phasing in and out of existence, so if you posted something on Monday and I missed it, post a comment and I'll try to add it as soon as possible.

Destructoid had a productive Martin Luther King Jr. holiday it seems, despite the... unpleasantness. One additional side effect of the hack is that the forums are temporarily shut down... A moment of silence please, for those whose primary connection to the site is currently inaccessible. I hear Banj and Serpentish are writing on walls with sharpie markers.





*- BonerQuest fourth edition now available. Engrish Transration Under Aquaman. Please to enjoy.
*-Speaking of questing, BenHaskett wrote up a great piece about Dragon Quest. Apparently this is a series, I intend to catch up on the older ones.
*-Unangbangkay wrote a solid piece on review fraud that provoked some impressively intelligent discussion.
*-I agree with Toadofsky. Beyond Good and Evil is in my top ten for sure, and I can't wait to hear more about the sequel.
