Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



 
When I'm not busy editing all of our Dtoid video reviews, developer interviews, Beyond Good & Evil spoofs, or having Jessica Chobot ride it dirty -- I'm blowing our hard earned video budget on syndications. Take for example our immigrant friend Luigi Santa Rosa Bacalao. With Cuban borders now open to the wonders of technology and every day living, video gaming has finally reached the beaches of Varadero. Niero and I traveled to Cuba and purchased syndication rights to the nation's biggest video game reviewer there, Bacalao! As Destructoid video-in-chief (title totally made-up), I am confident that this new series will bring joy and happiness to our gaming spirits.
 
Hit the jump for some salty goodness.
 
 

Credits: Bacalao is a collaboration/afterbirth of Rey Gutierrez and Roberto "Gecko" Bueno made with love exclusively for the Dtoid Community. Check out more of Gecko's original videos at SFX-360.

HAHA, really great. Did I hear a bit of background laughter during the enraged Cuban anger?

I wasn't expecting much, didn't even watch it when I first loaded up the page. But after Colette and Samit pwned my Twitter with the link, I gave in.

And you know what, I was entertained. Good show.

Yes, I too would want a mushroom so that I can be big. The video pacing was a little too fast, but was great all in all.

It's funny because he totally sounds mexican but sounds nothing like the mexicans in my area. I was totally waiting for him to break out the accordion and/or trumpets.

Funny shit and I rarely laugh at video game humor unless it's really goddamn funny.

I didn't like the Chobot vid or the dog's throwing up one at all, but I agree with KratosX and Samit.

I'm gonna go ahead and say the opposite of KratosX. Just didn't resonate with me I guess?

Sadly, I know someone who acts like that in real life. Women are not people to him... but objects.
