Now when I say Avatars are playable for the Xbox LIVE Arcade strategy game Band of Bugs, I mean exactly that. Your persona doesn't simply appear next to a score -- it'll be right up in the action, fighting your battles for you.
In addition to Band of Bugs getting the free Avatar update today, a few other things are happening as well. A new add-on, "Tales of Kaloki," also launched today. If the name sounds oddly familiar, that's because it brings in elements from another NinjaBee game, Outpost Kaloki X. The pack weighs in at 240 Microsoft Points, and for more info on it, head over here.
The third and final piece of the Band of Bugs puzzle is a Premium Theme (240 MS Points), which is now available for download from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace. With all of this recent excitement, the game's developers are hosting a little shindig on July 11 from 7:00 to 10:00 PM EDT, so mark you calendar.
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.

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else.
