For any of you loyal recap readers, you're probably wondering what the hell happened to recaps.
I just finished building a new computer last week and got it up and running last sunday, I've sold of my old computer already so I've been machineless at home for a week. I think it's going to take another week or 2 to full get up and running and get all my data migrated and organized from my back up devices. Plus, I switched to windows x64 and half my shit doesn't work anymore, so I gotta deal with finding new software/drivers/patches for alot of things.
Anyway, recaps aren't dead (although I was hoping someone would assume so and just take over), but they'll be gone for another week or two. I won't be recapping the downtime, it's just gonna be a fresh start. =P
On sidenote, if anyone wants to just completely take over, feel free to take the recap mantle.
@ceark - Yeah, the compatibility issues with XP 64-bit edition is frustrating at times... I completely understand that feeling.
@FrozenBabylon - Not too weird - the prices of PCs started to rise about 4 years ago and are now down.
My PC is about the same age and I've been considering upgrading as well... but I think I'll wait until there's a PC game that my rig can't handle before upgrading.

You wanna quit? If I was Ceark, I would fail you!
Please keep it up Ceark. Although I can imagine the sheer amount of work you've already got. If you stop doing the recaps I will miss the morning ritual. Get out of bed, light a smoke, make some coffee and look at your recaps.

Check out my new PC Ceark
Isn't it great to have a new PC?
I wish I had a new PC.
I was wondering where you were off too.
I wish I had a new PC like Popa's.
lol. the women in your blog are hawter, but yeah it's DAMN great to have a new PC. I can open HUGE files in painter/photoshop/maya now. it's amazing.
plus I can play games I couldn't play before.
In a weird bit of synchronicity, I also have been thinking of replacing my current rig with something better. Mine's like 4 years old.
@frozenbabylon
mine was four year old too.
this is getting weird....

Same here Ceark. My old PC was 4 years old. And I stuck with XP Pro. I thought about going the x64 route, but I wanted all my hardware to work.
OMG, my PC is almost 4 years old too :O.
I'm just waiting for Starcraft 2 to upgrade (or maybe spore if it lags)
XP-64 is going to cause a lot of problems, it did for me. I moved back to 32bit because of all my older games/software that was having trouble
On a related note, I built a new PC about a month and a half ago
I'll take over again!
No, I'm just kidding, you couldn't pay me to do that again.
Actually, you could. I work cheap. You hear that Dtoid!
I figure if recaps die, it'll get a front page memorial.
Since I'm about to be jobless, I may take over. No promises though.
oh man.
I'm getting a new computer to replace my 4 year old laptop.
weeeeird.
I may take over just for today because of Comic Con. Sounds like fun.
My parents just got new computers.
I'll help out as much as possible. My excuse for no Sunday recaps is... uhm... Lupus.
Dammit!
