"I am not interested in recap for recap's sake, but I'm interested in recap that is moral, that is right and that is good." - Martin Luther Robot Jr.

Tonights recap is dedicated to GynecologistCobra, who stood up today and declared that he doesn't need the oppression of Grand Theft Auto IV and has shown solidarity for his brothers who refuse to give in when society turns a blind eye to pain. Right on, my brother.

Other than that, good day in the blogs. I'm not going to try to be too witty right now, as I have a lot of other writing I want to get done tonight and, well, it's recap time. See you tomorrow.

I HAZ TASTE! Great recap, as always.

Electro Lemon

Thanks, meng. :D

Oh, and may I note that the new Dtoid text format makes recaps more aesthetic and easy to read as a whole. Its awesome. Great recap!

Oh, and I didn't understand Bahamut's Change the PSP article...

DaedHead8

I don't understand it either Cobra. I keep hearing this rumor about you cobra, that you maybe taste like electrified lemons? I dunno if its true but whatever.

Good recap conrad.

MrSadistic

water lymons

Electro Lemon

Its true, DaedHead. My veins are electric cables and I bathe in citrus every night.

Electro Lemon

MrSadistic is also right. Check the leaderboard (teehee)

vexed alex

Great recap, Conrad.

taumpytears

Cobra, are you any closer to learning the identity of your father?

Shin Oni

"See you next time Space Cowboy"

awesome stuff. Martin Luther Robot Jr. FTW.

Electro Lemon

@taumpy

Yep. I know who it is. But I can't tell :D
After all, he is my dadday
No... :(

taumpytears

You can tell me. Please at least send me a hint on gtalk.

FinalFist

ahem. you didn't get mine in there.

Necros

Yay for recaps!

DaedHead8

@taumpy

my money is on sadistic.

Conrad Zimmerman

@FinalFist: Shit, I'm sorry man. I commented on it and completely slipped up. It's in there now. Look right at the bottom.

MrSadistic

I want to go on the Maury show and dance like a gangsta if I'm not the dad.

taumpytears

NVM I feel like an idiot

razerangel

Awesome re-cap

PROTIP: its skate.

Conrad Zimmerman

@razerangel: Proper nouns should be capitalized. EA ought to be ashamed of themselves for contributing to the generally poor usage of English grammar amongst gamers.

But, you're right. Fixed.

Conrad Zimmerman

@razerangel: Also, PROTIP: it's "it's".

Scary Womanizing Pig Mask

Nice job!

blehman

Comments policy

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

about me

I write for Destructoid, primarily reviews and recurring columns. I'm probably best known for RetRose Tinted, a series which I began in the Community Blogs and ran for six months before joining the site staff and taking it to the front page. I also contribute to An RPG Draws Near and the recently minted Sexy Time! column as well as serve up a weekly collection of the best deals on games (and completely gratuitous photos of women) in Discountoid.

I'm fond of all types of gaming, either on a screen or a tabletop. In terms of video games, my interests vary wildly from platformers (2D preferred) to RPGs and the occasional FPS. The greatest game of all time is Mega Man 2 and any suggestion otherwise will be met with swift vengeance.

About Rodney Dangerfield:

The mere inclusion of Rodney Dangerfield can vastly improve anything. Films, music, toasters, anything. In particular, the force of Rodney Dangerfield could elevate video games to the level in which they are accepted by the mainstream as a true art form, bringing together people of all races, creeds and tax brackets in peace and harmony.

RIP Rodney.
