If you could wipe out just one memory from your consciousness, Jim Carry style, what would it be? Would you forget a lost love? Would you wipe away a dirty secret? Would you chose to forget the last two weekly updates, because I was not here to do them? No, no you wouldn't do that one, because Stars and Monkey are wonderful people who did a wonderful job filling in for me, and for that I am ever so thankful.
So what did I miss? Well, nothing really. I was still here posting and lurking, I just uh... didn't do the updates. But, if you, miss or mister, missed... err... this week, here are some of the highlights:
Breaking Bad is back on the TV, you know, and it's pretty awesome. We're managing to have a mostly spoiler-free, but only twitter quality conversation about it.
A serious discussion devolved in to a bunch of us comparing our personality-type-penises (similar to an e-peen, I guess). Come, compare, cross the synapses. Or talk about the original post, because that's a good idea, too.
Bean started a topic with the aim of recommending games to others, or seeking recommendations from others. I pinned it just now before typing this. Might be great and useful? Don't question it, just do it.
Member of the Week
Xteven Xavier
"I didn't ask for this," is the sort of thing that Adam Jenson might say if I picked him for member of the week. It is a life altering responsibility, and few are willing to bare that burden by choice. Not Xteven, however, who made his desires known a few weeks ago. In that time, I skipped out on two updates, and kinda forgot that I was probably going to choose him for one of those weeks. However, that's OK, because like it always does, patience has paid off. Congratulations, Xteven, you are this week's most celebrated member.
Game of the Week
The Elements of Power
Looking through the list of games this week I spotted an old name, Silvercrow. Epiphany Gaming alumni, and one time Monkeypro Members, Silvercrow and The Supreme Inquisitor made this JRGP inspired game about demons and elemental power. Not to be confused with that one X Box game. Apparently part 5 in a series, I felt a strange bit of nostalgia playing this game, even though I had never played it before now.
