So Sunday I picked up at a garage sale (for 50 cents) a copy of a book someone told me to get a while back: The Curious Incident of the Dog In The Night-Time. For those that don’t know what this is, it’s a fictional account of the murder of a neighbor’s dog done by a fictional autistic kid. Thus, the whole book becomes a case-study of autism. It’s a genius book, and if you have the chance, pick it up. As a little aside, the main character, Christopher, mentions that his favorite games are myst and The 11th Hour. So there’s that.

Alright, onto the recaps. Today, we find out the deal with all this bit nonsense, see that none of you, apparently, can play fighting games, and learn the names of a TON of new Dtoid faces.
