Hey kids. Early recaps are early due to feminine troubles. No, I don’t mean that I’m on my period or I cut myself while doing the dishes. It’s a long story, and I’d rather take my mind off it with a bit of news.

I hate to be a whore for my work, but I recently got a gig writing for Negative Gamer. Yesterday I posted a story about my time trying to get LEGO: Rock Band for free from Old Navy. It’s probably my favorite piece that I’ve ever written. And if it wouldn’t be too much to ask, would you kindly take a look at it, and tell me what you think? I’m real proud about it, and more kind words/criticisms about it would really help me out.

Alright, now that I’m done doing the internet equivalent of hooking, let’s get to the recaps! On today’s show we’ve got brilliant storage solutions, a rare batch of news posts, and God in the Mushroom Kingdom.

*-Aside from the link to a great article about video game documentaries, and thoughts about Assassin’s Creed 2, Rev. Anthony gets my seal of approval for the last line in this blog.

*-A bit of a eulogy for a fallen website, a Niero appearance, and frank discussions about gaming blogs make this and the comments within a good read.

*-As a kid, Excremento and his friend had a genius idea for Battletoads that he talks about in this interesting Musing.
