I don't know if anyone's seen Dave Chapelle's Bloc Party, but if you haven't, you owe yourself to see this concert masterpiece. I watched it during the recaps tonight, and fell in love with it all over again. In the film, Dave goes to Bed-Stuy in NYC, armed with some of the greatest talents in hip-hop today (Mos Def, The Roots, THE GODDAMN FUGEES, etc.), and a group of people from Dayton, Ohio, and fucking rocks out one aftenoon in September 2005. It's funny, it's heartwarming, and the music is better than incredible. If you have even a passing interest in hip-hop, or Dave Chapelle, please, PLEASE, see this movie. You won't be dissapointed.

Speaking of concert movies, it's time to move onto the recaps! Today, we've got Destructoid helmets, tattoos, and created stages, oh my! Also, there's the return of everyone's favorite failure, and the first crop of new Monthly Musings.

LET'S DO THIS CBLOOOOOOOOOOG RECAPS!!!



*-Wow: Fallout 3 and it's morality makes zombiekiller's head hurt, but in a good way.

*-A wonderful blog about how a first-time WoW player discovers the appeal of the game.

*-So, yeah: Pendelton's getting a Destructoid Tattoo.

*-P Dude makes some damn fine Rorschach custom shoes.

*-If you eat chilli dogs and collect golden rings, the terrorists have won.

*-Since there's a lot of talk about Lucas Arts adveture games going on, Faith decides to show off her awesome Monkey Island/DOTC bead sprites.

*-Well, well, wel, SOMEONE knows how to introduce themselves to the community: Welcome The Kojukinator to Destructoid, everyone!

*-ANOTHER DESTRUCTOID HELMET IS ON THE LOOSE!!!

*-An awesome and well-done review of the Parasite Eve SE soundtrack.

Tanks for the recaps!

I have an open question for anyone in the community: how acceptable would it be if I held a free XBLA/PSN game contest that involved entrees following my personal twitter?

@Magnalon: Don't see anything remotely unacceptable about that, but I'm sure the people who hate Twitter to death will piss and moan about it. It's my firm belief that anyone who wants to give free shit away should do it in whatever form they choose.

@ Magnalon I'd probably piss and moan because I hate Twitter and was jealous that I couldn't enter, but since I also don't have an XBLA/PSN account I couldn't have entered anyway. Carry on good sir.

@Kauza When I worked in retail I used to hate people who would complain about getting free stuff. We'd have samples of kids art stuff and they'd be mad that I wouldn't give them the whole box so they could take it home to the 7 other kids they didn't have with them that day. Everyone feels so damned entitled anymore.

@Magnalon: Man I don't do that crazy Twitter stuff man, so I unfortunately could not enter this contest. :-(

@Magnalon...I'm still getting used to twitter and actually don't check it often enough... but yeah, I'd be up for a contest based there.

... great recaps! (though just a side note, but my own blog really shouldn't be classed N for news... maybe T for thoughts because it was entirely fake! (See... Canada doesn't suck! LOL!)

Your last statement couldn't be more wrong.

@Magnalon -- If anyone has the audacity to dig on your for offering free stuff (especially a game!), regardless of the requirements, they are idiots.

On second thought, I think I'll start an internet petition to boycott your contest.

@Pendleton
Thanks for the recaps man, and the Topsaucetoid.

@Magnalon
I might bitch and moan a little bit about it not being a Wii-ware/VC game...but I'd much rather read your blogs here or Gamerlimit than Twitter...oh how I hate twitter.

@magnalon: I'm down. I'm pretty obsessed with Twitter, so I'll win this shit for sure!
