Behind the scenes at MTV's Bonus Round photo

As you may have heard, our very own Ron Workman will be appearing in the next episode of GameTrailers' Bonus Round, shot during the E3 madness week at their Santa Monica studio.  We sat down with host Geoff Knightley, associate editor Mike from Kotaku, and editor-in-chief Chris from Joystiq to discuss our respective blogs, how the industry views and responds to us, and exactly how many wolves have to die. Here are some behind the scene photos from their studio. 

My favorite part?  As we were filming, the audio guy taps me on the shoulder and points to the window outside the studio. One of the MTV employees was holding up a paper against the glass that read "ALSO COCKS!!!!".  Could you imagine my surprise?  We met up with Slaw The Bear later and thanked him, then proceeded to give him and the make-up lady an extreme robot makeover. 

The first segment of the show is scheduled to air sometime next week; look for it on GameTrailers.com and Destructoid soon.

Bitchin! I"ll keep my eyes peeled for the episode.

You know, I actually had a dream last night about destructoid taking over the world. Every website I tried to go to had a destructoid banner. Even xbox.com had been officially changed by microsoft to be a link to dtoid.

Ron reminds me of Bruce Campbell in the first pic.

Niero is the sharpest fucking dresser in game journalism.

Looking forward to the show.

Yeah, Niero by far is the best dressing person in the gaming industry.

Wow, Workman representing Destructoid on the TV? I hope the FCC is looking the other way. Any word, Niero? Did Ron draw the ire of the censorhammer? Or is this an internet-only program? I'm confused.

I love me some sexy, hairy Mike McWhertor action. But Chris from Joyshit really needs to lose that needy metrosexual look. It does not help him.

Do want.

Also yeah, Niero is looking pimp in those pics.

@Topher: Wouldn't you if you had the opportunity?

@Niero: Damn, you're a great dresser. I wish I had the fashion sense that you do.

Oh, btw, is that a new model of the Dtoid helmet? It looks different (and better, I think)

I dunno how you will stop yourself from punching Chris while on the show

Ron, your face is so much more doable with sexy-time makeup. Too bad they didn't let you pull a Greybush with the Burt Reynold 'stache.

Did they buff the helmet for the camera, Niero? Can't wait to see the finished version.

Well deserved. Living the motherfucking dream.

Niero makes the other heads of Kotaku and Joystiq look like crap in comparison - not that they looked good in the first place.

Love the new helmet and the white pimp suit. Very sweet.

So how many times did Ron swear?

And no, he doesn't look like Bruce Campbell - Bruce is God and no one can be his equal except for Chuck Norris.

wait, who was the gimp in the nintendo roll call tshirt? That dude has gotta go.

he makes me wanna go eat something to prevent malnutrition.

Niero, bad ass suit man.

Workman, next time you're toting a beard, you need to have a beard-off with the nintendo be-shirted fellow. You could out beard him in mere seconds.

Colette,

God, I work with such sexy fucking people.

I don't actually work at Destructoid, though. I just tip a lot. ;)

Ron, can't wait to see the show.

Niero, you are God.
