Today’s gaming setup belongs to michiyoyoshiku. He doesn’t say much, but shows off how his setup has evolved in the last couple of years. He has some really nice Arcade sticks. Check out his C-Blog for more pictures.

There were a lot of blogs this past week and hopefully I’ve collected some of the best. Hopefully this also helps all of you out who are getting overwhelmed by all of the Turning Point C-Blog entries. Anyway, hit the jump for the highlights! 

Last weekend, the first ever Michigan NARP took place at Lark Ohiya’s place. Cheeburga, NihonTiger90, Aertyr and tazarthayoot all recounted the weekend crazyness. Retarded birds, dog monsters, scary children and imported Super Smash Bros. Brawl was among some of the highlights. Also, CannibalCalvin likes to cuddle.

ElectroLemon is pissed. He’s been dealing with some horrible issues with his Apple Laptop and blogged about how he sent Steve Jobs an e-mail about how horrible their service is. Hey Lemon, I know exactly what your problem is: You’re using Mac products. 

Tactix has started up a series in the C-Blogs where he shows his love for all things videogames. This time, he talked about videogame music

The Daily Texan recently did a review of GameTrailersTV basically saying that it’s a shit show. Tazarthayoot took this review and more or less raped it. Tazar pointed out the flawed arguments in the article and called out the reviewer on his horrible review.

dvddesign is mad! dvddesign is a liar! dvddesign is a princess!

Teta is full of win yet again. This time he draws Virtualgirl, CannibalCalvin and even a shark. Also, Teta hates me.  

My favorite girl of all of British land, atheistium, is in America right now! The East Coast Dtoiders had an epic NARP that Phist should be talking about soon. .

Koobert is a loner. OK, he’s not really. But his “friends” roommate has been bugging him during some Lost Odyssey and it has made Koobert think about which games are best played by just one person while no one is around. 

Dexter345 loves the DS. So much so, that he has now taken it upon himself to create DS Thursdays. It’s like Friday Night Fights expect it’s just for the DS. Jump onto Ventrillo, share the 100 digit friendcode and you’re good to go!

Due to all the recent attention during GDC, teknohed takes a look at story telling in videogames. He goes over what’s a good type of cutscene and the differences between American and Japanese storytelling. 

Butmac released a new video this week, but before we go into that, -D- had an exclusive interview with Butmac. They discuss the upcoming video and how Butmac rapes and eats the homeless.

Y0j1mb0 responded to an article from AeroPause about fanboys. YOj1mb0 believes that fanboys are good and have helped out the industry whereas Aero believes all fanboys are evil little tards. What’s your take on fanboism?

Redzie wants to create a Mr. Destructoid costume to cosplay as! He’s going to combine Mr. Destructoid with Nero from Devil May Cry into some sort of super hybrid monster robot thingy. This could turn out to be really awesome. 

 
Camtub, er Butmac is amazing. In his latest video, Butmac gets a package from Ron Workman. The package has a very odd side effect that does something horrible to Butmac … or something awesome. Depends on how you want to look at the situation. I think it’d would be awesome if that happen me. 

Coonskin05 has done something most of you only dream to do. He got to live the dream of being a gaming blogger and experiencing what many of us at Destructoid have experienced: Going to crazy parties, eating free foods, drinking free drinks and getting free games! He also got to meet Nick Chester while at EIEIO 2008 but that’s not really that big of a deal. 

Neonie receives a package from Workmengs. Little does he know that the Cashwh0re shirt is coated with AIDS. That’s Workmans way of saying he loves you. 

Just because we have monthly themes now doesn’t mean we won’t promote a really thoughtful and well written article when we see one in the C-Blogs. Cowzilla3 made an amazing analysis of No More Heroes that I don’t think I would have ever recognized myself. My want for this game has now sky rocketed. 

In anticipation to Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Aerox and CaffeinePowered did a Counterpoint on the original Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee. Genki-JAM even did his own Counterpoint and claimed that Super Smash Bros. Frenzy is much better.

Virtualgirl has a new job! She is now an associate editor for Game Informer Online. She’s worked hard at trying to get this job so it’s great to finally see it pay off. Check out one of her first articles where she gives an in depth preview of Mario Kart Wii.

Toneman has retired his cat with bow tie avatar. It has now been replaced with Cutie Honey’s version of Toneman’s avatar. I’m going to miss that freaky avatar of his. 

DJMegaMatX, Toneman, King3vbo, and LostCrichton get hammered and play some Rock Band at a bar. Then they all went back to King3vbo and had an orgy. That’s not true. I’m not funny.

Excremento has come out of hiding and has released a new Weird Kid’s Top 10. Kind of ironic that the topic is about the top 10 ways to die in a videogame.

zell competed in one of the GameStop tournaments and won that crappy trophy they were giving away. Awesome job buddy, don’t display the trophy in the open. 

Finally, happy birthday wishes go out to AllHailtheShroomGod, CaffeinePowered, Azereki and Chung-Li
