Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Destructoid.com and Revision3 are proud to bring you another episode of the award-winning and critically-acclaimed Destructoid Show. (I totally just made all that up.)
In tonight's episode, we decrypt some top secret information from our Bothan/Australian spies regarding upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops DLC. After that, and much to my chagrin, we discuss the future of the Gears of War franchise. Luckily, I prepared some childish commentary on this topic. From there, news of a more affordable Xbox 360 development kit, a free copy of Mass Effect 2 if you purchase Dragon Age 2, and talk about fabulous espionage fashion -- Konami unveils a new line of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker menswear.
As it's a Wednesday, Tara has another installment of her Show & Tell segment, this time shining some light on Vizati, a puzzle game developed by a little two-person team called Different Pixel.
Finally, if you weren't aware, The Destructoid Show now has an official page on Facebook and an official Twitter. So go do the... Thing. With that.
Spoiler Alert: I found a pile of neckties sitting in my apartment lobby. I decided to wear one today.

I don't think it is the length of Dragon age 2 that people are annoyed with, I mean.. Sure, its half the length of DA1, but that still puts it at 30-50 hours.
What people ARE annoyed about is that in the first 3 hours you'll have seen 90% of the environments and enemies in the game, after which you get to spend the next 27-47 hours running through repeated content.
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!
