Let's talk about memes, okay?

They drive me up the wall. Seriously, they make me go Lady Gaga. Imagine my surprise today when randombullseye convinced half the planet to go all Top 10 on my ass. I've got to organize that shit. Recap team, you've dealt with this before? Why didn't you warn me? Look at this mess! LOOK AT IT! I'm swimming in it!

You know what the shame of it all is? Some of those lists may have actually been on the level. Some may have had serious merit. Some may have genuinely wished one Samit Sarkar a happy birthday. But we won't know. Why? Because I lumped them all in one big heaping shit list. In fact, every blog today is an honorary fail blog. The fail-fail blogs are quadruply so. There! You see what you made me do?

I'm fuming! I could... I could... I could huff! I could puff! I could...




*- Tascar responds to Sean Malstrom and once again his comments become a hotbed for intense debate.

*- walkyourpath's musing about stupid A.I. partners and NPCs is written as an email circulated among villainous artificial constructs. Totally awesome.

*- Oh man! A second dose of Tascar thanks to his insight on how special effects in movies have been influenced by games outside of game-based movies.

*- B.O.O.B.'s and B.R.A.'s. Elsa is our champion.

*- kjohnson1585's epic Ratchet & Clank screenplay continues!

*- Okay, SuitcoatAvenger, this is just flat-out cool. We've got Bearded Samurai, Werewolf Michael, and a crazy modern interpretation of Ares.

Was it gonna be on your "off brand" games series?

Do it anyway mang! I didn't really flesh it out well, I'd be easy to top my article.

Oh you know you'd love the memes too if you weren't the one who had to recap them all. *innocent smile*

And was it actually Samit's birthday? I don't even know. Facebook does tend to lie like that.

You know, I agree with megaStryke. I read the "Top 10" blogs and I just realized that THEY ARE ALL THE SAME THING, ONLY WITH MINOR EDITS. WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

LMAO!!! I saw all those top 10 blogs today... and never even thought of the huge job of recapping them all!!

OMG! I love how you listed those out... that's hilarious!!
(and you made me actually laugh out loud... so on that note, I'm outta here till tomorrow!)

But seriously. Ways of the Samurai 3 comes to North America for like $50 bucks in October. Everyone must know!

Every day is Samsam's birthday. Duh.

At least this meme isn't total shit like that "When the cat is away" shit people were trying to go down with a few months ago. At least this one has merit.

I have no idea if it is really Samit's birthday. Let's call it his unbirthday and celebrate anyway.

I think a flood of terrible meme-blogs was a perfect way to mark the occasion of Samit being born.

EVERY day is Samit's birthday. He is quite sprightly indeed for a man who is over 70,000 years old.

I had fun yesterday posting on Destructoid. That doesn't happen often anymore. I apologize, for nothing.

Great recaps man. The minute I saw the meme begin I started feeling bad for you. The life of a recapper is hard. :-(

Hey, I called out my concern for the poor recapper in one of the Tenday blogs. I care.

Also this is now the Random Bullseye Show made me do a lol.

Apparently breaktargets doesn't quite understand the concept of a meme.

Nicely recapped, and, yeah, yesterday was rough. Until walkyourpath's post came around, I was ready to give up hope. Path and Elsa save the day once again.

By the way, do we have someone to do the Friday recap now that Garison's not capping anymore? Who's going to be the new Friday regular?
