Remember all the way back to two sentences ago, when ManWithNoName returned to Dtoid? Well, he wasted no time getting right back into the swing of things, and his first blog since returning was a (pseudo-NSFW)look at pornography in videogames(two of my favorite things). Check it out! Then the Dtoid Baltimore/DC crew announcedtheir upcoming November NARP, kuroir sharedsome updates for your cblogging software(THANKS!), and Occams electric toothbrush splooged his brain juices all over the internet inhis latest Occam’s Thoughts. Nice work!
Also on Friday, your normal slew of FNF blogs made their weekly appearance. Whether you game on the360,PS3,3DSorPC, we’ve got you covered!
