There are some videogames that are almost more fun to watch than they are to play. Having not played Just Cause 2 myself, I can't say for sure if it will be one of them, but it sure does look to be that way.
What does this have to do with anything? Avalanche is holding a live stream session at 2:00 PM EST today. The footage will be coming from a community event the developer is holding, and if everything goes according to plan, we can expect to get about 40 minutes of entertainment value out of this.
The virtual event, which will be taking place here on USTREAM, will contain about 20 minutes of straight-up gameplay footage, and the rest will be divided between a Q&A session and a "special announcement."
Alternatively, if you happen to prefer written word over video, Ben's got a preview of Just Cause 2 coming up later this evening.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied: "bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

"Big announcement! PS3 version records last 30 seconds of gameplay automatically, and allows for manual videos of up to 10 minutes" - quote from Live chat.
Hah, yep. As you can see, this post didn't go live at the intended time. This is the fun of working in a time zone that's different from your server's time zone that are both different from an event's time zone. TIME ZONES!
At the very least, the PS3 version's recording feature snaxib posted is cool news.
