That picture of Hamza made me so happy. He looks like a stud in the second part.
Anyways, I thought you were awesome on the show. People are idiots, they don't know what they're talking about. Keep up the great work!

Don't worry, all of those YouTube commenters are a bunch of dumb Holmes fanboys. Holmes was great, and so are you, so don't let them get you down. I've actually been waiting and wishing for you to get a permanent spot on the show ever since you stepped in for Tara during Blizzcon. To be honest, I think you have the potential to be even greater than Holmes (don't tell him I said that!).
PS: I recently got an interesting piece of news. The ballistic dildo kiosk I mentioned on Twitter is hiring! If I get you a job there, could you work me into the show somehow?

Hahaha. I really liked the pics. I haven't seen the newest episode of the show yet, but that one time you guest hosted you did just fine. I'll miss Holmes, but you're more than qualified to step in.
K I watched the episode. I liked your segues. They kind of reminded me of Brad Nicholson and his ability (or lack thereof) to do segues.
Remember the comments we got on our first episode? It sucks, but expect a ramp-up period. People went from saying they hated "the bald guy" to wanting him to be inside of them. Give it a month, and you'll have more propositions for gay sex than you'll know what to do with.
I HAVE SOMETHING TO STARE AT NOW THAT AREN'T HOLMES BOOB!
Max's cancer curing smile :D
(Wat, u thought I was gon to look at Tara's boobs? Pshh. I keep it classy)

I love reading your blogs... but the new Dtoid emphasis on video stuff I'm just not feeling it.... yet. I'm glad you haven't totally abandoned writing... and photoshop! :)
I haven't really been watching The Show because I share Elsa's sentiments on putting an emphasis on video segments. There's very, very few editorial pieces being written on the site lately. There hasn't been too much focus on the community lately either, but I'm not blaming the staff entirely considering the community itself could be more together.
That said, the one time I watched The Show and you were on it, you really helped spice things up a lot. You gots my support.

Max, you're funnier and better looking than Holmes, so I'm excited about the show again. Not that I have anything against him; I just prefer you for this job.

Holmes was great and I loved him on the show. Now you are a different kind of great. Different is good. Great even. Period of adjustment and all that which is fine. Everyone takes a moment to get their bearings, take a deep breath, relax and come into their own.
The comments on youtube...well, human garbage is everywhere. Ignore it or if you have shadow magic hand, tear their eyes out. You keep doing what you do and having fun. When I can tell you two are having fun, I smile as well. Also, appreciate the c-blogs. I love to see this kind of interaction. Makes my grey deer heart swell.
We think you are super keen Max.
Super keen.

Kind of going with what Elsa and WryGuy said... really not a fan of video content. At least not the dtoid show and dtoid live video content. Especially when it's so scripted and is really just a rehash of the stuff I've already read on the front page. I've warmed up to the show more and more, but like I said it's still just a rehash of stuff I already read that day or the day before. I really don't care if I miss it. The emphasis on live stuff also isn't something I care about, even if I could/did make the time to watch it everyday. Even more so when it's just watching you guys playing video games that even you seem barely interested in.
Also your head doesn't bob around more than the dtoid bobblehead when you talk, so Hamza can suck it.

Dear Max Scoville,
I watch the Destructoid Show irregularly, and I thought Holmes and Tara were incredibly awkward for much of the early goings. Their jokes didn't fly, the delivery was off, and like many have said, it was more rehash material. I remember the (one?) episode you came on as Tara's replacement and I thought you did fantastic on it. Your delivery and one-liners worked a lot better than anything previously.
When I heard you were going to be on the show I thought "hey cool, that guy was pretty smooth last time." I get the feeling the comments about you taking over for Holmes must have gotten to you because I noticed the whole "arm flailing thing" at the beginning. I think you should just give it some time, and don't worry about trying to fill Holmes shoes, because I've seen you were funny without the pressure on. Holmes shtick was his shtick, and you've got your own thing which works.
Holmes is amazing at floor show coverage during E3 and interviewing people (Much better than that Rey guy that used to do it, he was terrible). So he should definitely keep doing that, and you just have to relax and do fine with this show. You can do it! Positivity! Strength and manliness!
Your hosting is the hosting that will pierce the heavens,

@Wry Guy
There's very, very few editorial pieces being written on the site lately.
Are you on the same Destructoid I am? Pretty much everything Sterling posts about (since he posts seemingly over half the stuff on this site now) is either an editorial or he injects his own editorials/opinions into other articles. This is also why Chester and North are the best writers on this site in my opinion, they don't do that crap.

Haha I laughed so hard at the Hamza photos ;D Great metaphor for your inclusion in the dtoid show , I think you handled it great :P And as you say , you have to factor in that itīs the internetz after all , the thing that brought us stuff like lollazers and catīs in fabulous hats. That pack of smokes looks crummy ;D I wouldnīt smoke it , also your drarwrings are nice, I love the creepy self portrait it somehow reminds me of the art from silent hill shattered memories ! Consider yourself stalked on flickr.
Someone needs to make a "Stop, Hamza time!" MC Hammer-esque, poster stat! Also, Max, I think you're a fine replacement for Holmes. The only thing I'm really going to miss are Holme's intros. Those were a thing of fucking beauty. Now, if you had been replacing Tara on the other hand... heads would have rolled son. FUCKING ROLLED.
But congrats!
But congrats!
Max, I remember the days we were in The Oakleaf Newspaper, and I was all fat and passive aggressive, and now we are friends and now I want to see you because I miss all of you guys.
tears all around.
Let's get a drink.

Relax and have fun with it, Max. That's the point, isn't it? If you're not having fun, neither are we. Holmes is amazing in ways that only Holmes can be. With a little time for adjustment, I think the show will hit it's stride again. I remember Holmes first show and he looked nervous as hell. LOL Anyways, keep up the good work and KEEP posting blogs. The interaction between the readers and the writers is part of what makes Dtoid magical.
