CblogRecaps | 10:38 PM on 01.21.2009 22 comments



Yojimbo is supposed to be filling in tonight for njsykora, but he's busy being a dad and doing all those real life things that end up being more important then recapping the Cblogs. How can Yojimbo's real life be more important then Dtoid you might wonder? Well when you get to be as old as Yojimbo is you'll understand. Luckily for him, and all of you guys, I am able to step in and take over his duties. Or am I taking over njsykora's duties? I don't know. Does it matter? I'm here now and that's all that matters!

Before I begin the recap, let me just say that I'm extremely excited about this weekend. Why am I excited you might ask? Well, I'm excited because me and 7 of my friends are getting together all day Saturday to have an 8-person 4v4 LAN party, in which we plan on playing COD4, TF2, and L4D. It's 8 hours filled with lots of smack talking, lots of junk food, lots of beer, and a huge body count. If anyone lives near the Raleigh, NC area and would ever like to participate please let me know. We hold this LAN party about once every 2 months and always on a Saturday. We are looking for more people to kill, I mean to play along with us, so if you are interested please let me know.

Now on to the day's recaps .....

Will you EVER run out of Dragon pictures, Silverdragon? God I hope not :)

Anyway, that was nice of you to give up you're packed scheduled night for Yojimbo and Njyskora. Great recap!

Woot good recap!

To those who care, sorry for not posting today. Real life got in the way and ambushed me with a random battle. I'll post the next part in a couple hours.

@temtnlion

*props fingers* Exxxxcellent...

@SilverDragon

If I'm ever in the Central Raleigh Area, magically at the same time you guys are doing this, I'd be interested. But I live way over on the coastline, so that'll have to remain wishful thinking for now.

@Qraze: I'm confused man. How did I leave you out of this recap? You didn't post anything yesterday. Anyways, I'm totally up for poker tonight. Send me a PM on PSN.

@Yojimbo: I can't aregue with you there man. NC STATE is certainly not the team to root for this year, or last year for that matter.

I just realized (I'm slow, I know) that you guys have a separate account and a weekly rotation for the c-blog recaps. Awesome idea and great work guys! Its the only way I'll read the c-blogs. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thanks for the recap. Just curious - on average, how long does it take to do these?

i was left out of tuesday recap because they apparently recaped only sunday an monday. its not a problem.

@Char: It really just depends on the day of the week and the number of blogs posted that day. It also depends on whether or not we actually completely read the blogs or just skim them. On the weekdays there are typically A LOT of blogs and assuming you actually read them, it can take upwards of 2-3 hours to do a recap. It doesn't take as long on the weekends, since there are fewer blogs posted.

It might take more or less time for the other recappers, but 2-3 hours is my average. I spread it out throughout the day though, so it doesn't feel as long.

@Char: Exactly what Dragon said. Takes me about the same ammount of time, but I usually do a handful whenever I can find time throughout the day, rather than spend 2.5 hours at the end of the day.

Yeah when I first signed up to be a recapper I thought it would take like an hour. Man was I wrong, but oh well. I enjoy doing it, and that's all that matters. :-)
