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

 



 
Likely you already checked the video out on the Community Blog of the remarkable Electro Lemon, but if not, here's me attacking the hell out of The Loop. It was hard not to do an interpretive dance to express how I felt about Halo 3's top ranking preorder status, but lucky for Kevin Pereira he's quick to the draw on those questions, so there was no such performance. Seriously though, I had a great time and hope I made my Dtoid family proud. Long live the Robot!

Smart, articulate, well spoken AND pretty darn easy on the eyes. But I was disappointed that you didn't ask the question we all wanted asked:

What the fuck does "mahalo" mean, anyways?

Well done, Collette!

@Maximus: Mahalo means 'thank you' in Hawaiian. Hunter Thompson used to close a lot of his stories and essays with the term.

Question:

Are you actually in the G4 studios with a backdrop, or did they film you outside?

Bah i saw it. i am sick of people dissing the ps3 because of they don't understand the price.

look, the exclusives on the 360 are hit and miss for all kinds of people, same goes for the ps3. but the ps3 gives you more hard drive space, blueray, and free internet gaming. it is in my opinion way cheaper than a 360 with all the trimmings the ps3 has.

HOME, heavenly sword, warhawk, lair, metal gear, final fantasy, folklore, killzone, infamous for ps3 to me are more appealing than mass efect, and halo, bioshock on 360.

Then all the other games coming out that are cross platform. Assasins creed, sports games, gta 4. all of this is coming to the ps3 too. WHY ARE THEY DOGGING THE PS3? why are they not covering these games. why has microsoft bought the media. i'm so sick of this.

G4 should be called THE MICROSOFT NINTENDO channel. they dont cover the ps3 unless it's bad news. and i am sick of it. I'm starting to feel the same way about the writers here as well.

Why isnt there news on these ps3 games, like infamous? i wanna know more about that, and the others. instead its, halo halo halo halo. i'm so sick of this.

I had no idea that Gaiman was responsible for that movie
And I agree Stardust just came out of nowhere, there was no marketing.
I need to know whether or not to buy blu ray movies or not I dont want to invest if it will fail as a format but 300 is definately the movie that makes me want to buy hidef

yeah i'm a little bit surprised everyone agreed the $50 price cut is going to sell that many more 360s - what with the red ring problem out there. even if MS is starting to put new hardware in to combat the problem, the PERCEPTION that it's a piece of shit is still there.

i haven't looked at my 360 the same since it busted and i got a "new" one.

@hexfix93
I have to agree with you there -- the price is but a singular resaon to hate the PS3, not the only.

While the PS3 does give you free online gaming (which, by free, I mean laggy) and Blu-Ray (which I do admit is superior to HD-DVD), the Xbox 360 offers the larger, 120GB hard drive.

In regards to your list of PS3 exclusives... cool. Different strokes to move the world. As for myself, the only game on that list that interests me is Metal Gear Solid 4.

No media has been purchased by anyone. People give the PS3 a hard time not because we don't like the PS3 (I love the PS3), but because it failed so, SO miserably to live up to the hype that Sony generated for it.

Finally, to address all the Halo hype... it's because Halo has in many ways transcended video games. Do I agree with it? No. But that's the simple fact of the matter -- Halo sells, and people can't get enough.

There was a very obvious lack to Space Jam. They started talking about "Stardust," which nobody cares about and sounds like a Hong Kong ripoff version of The Jam.

with stardust i saw one short preview when i went to see simpsons and then totally forgot that it existed until i saw some video on youtube about it and i dont think the 50$ price cut on the 360 will sell any and also (yea this is one run on sentence deal with it)pretty much any halo fans big enough to buy a halo 360 already have one no1's gonna buy that shizz also, Colette is s3h s3x1!

Well done Colette. Glad you did well.

Im sorry to find out from Jeff that I'm not a real gamer. What a bummer.

I didn't realize a Halo 3 fetish was required to achieve real gamer status. I guess I'm doomed to be a pretend gamer. Maybe all the real gamers will buy the halo branded shit green 360 and super sweet legendary edition of halo with that awesome toy helmet. If I get a toy helmet can I be a real gamer Jeff, can I?

Well played Collete.

Putting up with Kevin hosting an "interview" segment that is basically only asking for quick sound bytes of info thats already been said some place else probly isn't easy. But you were pretty much spot on.

even better than the "world famous" summa?

Great job Colette.
As for me, the drop in price of the 360 still won't make me get it. Maybe once MS really fixes the problems I will go for it.

Great show. I like how Colette kept her cool start to finish, and was informative.

A little tip, Colette, take it or leave it: You were the only one whose eyes broke contact when you're talking. I think you are great, but learning to keep eye contact is key in these kind of shows. If you can't, at least pretend to look at notes in your hands.

Good job, Colette.

Unfortunately, the other people on the clip made me sick. Hardcore gamers play Halo? I doubt that. "Real" hardcore gamers buy the 360 rather than the Wii. I guess that means I'm not hardcore. In my world, the Wii VC owns the 360 and PS3 by itself. All of the other features are extras. I also don't see Guilty Gear Accent Core coming to 360 or PS3, which begs the question: What is more hardcore than 2D fighters? Answer: Nothing. I rest my case.

I recently read the book "Stardust" and rather liked it. Everything I've seen for the movie makes me want to not watch it, though. Very poor marketing indeed.

Also, Colette, you did well! Seemed a little nervous, but it'll only get easier from here I'm sure.
