Hello, cherubs. Dear sweet Megazord, this has been a long week. I have for you, another episode of the critically acclaimed (lol) Destructoid Show. Hopefully, it appeals to your enjoyment lobes on some level.
Stories we cover: The fabulous and always-demure Jim Sterling does a video round-up of this week's reviews, Killzone 3 already has some DLC, and adorable dogs will ruin everything but it's okay. Also, be nice to girls on Xbox Live.
Tara runs down some quick hits (I don't know where that term came from, but we said it a lot) on the following games: Saints Row 3, Dungeon Siege III, Battlefield 3, the friggin' Power Rangers. Following that, I reluctantly talked about football. And then about a commercial about birds they will play during football.
Finally, we asked you to call up our Dtoid Hotline with confessions of the worst internet comments you've ever left. Call us up at 77-555-DTOID (775-553-8643) and if you're not too raunchy or long-winded, we'll put your message on the show.
Spoiler Alert: I was up late writing about Gundam, so have a heart. Like I said, long week.

Also...i don't recall what my worst was, and I'm not about to call this in, but i did tell my buddy the other day when he was giving me shit-.
"If i wanted to listen to cunts make worthless noises I'd fill bitches up with air and listen to em queef while they made me a sandwich."
I know damn well that's hardly the worst thing I've said, but my memory's shit, and i doubt any of it would be playable on the show.
Gotta love the Boba mug Max! I just ordered one for myself, should be a great piece for the collection, which I added a personal autographed picture from Jeremy Bulloch to this christmas. Yay me!
I faded out during the Sports videogame news. Seriously, who the hell cares about Sports games (other then Sports game fans, but that's redundant).
Still, nice little point about the whole girl gamers being outright picked on by guy gamers for the sake of them being girl gamers (Beyond creepy, and it's the whole reason gaming is perceived as a sausage fest)and now every creepy condescending message is available for instant viewing on it's own dedicated website! Whoo.
I want to climb to the top of Scoville just to feel the difference in atmosphere. I'd use him as a ladder to help me paint the Sistine chapel. I'd pull on his arm, just to make sure he isn't some kind of Megazord of midgets.
Heh, I love the idea of putting up misogynist messages from xbox live for all the world to see, including gamer tags. That website needs a hell of a lot more publicity; maybe calling out the idiots who perpetuate that sexist bullshit will show them that no, you don't get to get away with it.
I have a Vader mug that's the same thing as that Fett mug (exceet, of course, Vader's helmet), if Tara/Max would like to drink hot beverages out of it.
@MuddBstrd: yeah and not even in a heroic mission or anything, just a freak car accident, sure there was a lot of people that suspected the accident was somehow prepared by Rita Repulsa but nothing could be proved in court.
The yellow ranger died, yeppers. I also heard the black one went to prison and the red one got into gay porn.. I think the meanest thing I've told anybody was directed to an ex.. "I hope the next time I see you is in the obituaries."
Didn't hear that about the Black Ranger (Ahem, African-American Ranger) but yes, Jason's doing gay porn, Kimberly's doing indie movies or playing guitar or something, Tommy runs an actual Dojo, Trini's dead, and everyone thought Billy killed that family on their yacht, but that was a stuntman who kind of looked like him.
I remember when Xbox Live was in beta and 99% of the people that you played with were totally polite and fun-loving individuals.
These days, however, it's an utter cesspool regardless of your race, sex, creed, or color. Those people hate everyone all the time always. (it's also why I haven't paid for Live in years)
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. 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. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

Seriously though.
Sports....
Gross.
Both the Dog Space and the Power Rangers stories left me with a big, dumb smile on my face.

There's something wrong about that whole affair.
I'm just sayin'. He looks like an effin' giant.
Max needs to investigate further to chip away at that defensive wall she put up about it lol
ever since holmes hasn't been in this show I haven't watched it
and I will continue to do so
No smashing, though!
But it's all good 'cause the Pink one got her tits out.
The fact is, no one cares what Billy's doing.
Kinda ruining my childhood here, but whatevs.
"My POWER MORPHER!" Yeah, shut up Billy. Go buy more fucking overalls. Nothing cooler than a 25-year-old in Oshkosh.
Brb, gonna go set my ringtone to the Green Ranger's flute noise.
