Remember Cinematech? It was a G4 show that played the latest trailers, cut-scenes, and commercials of upcoming video games (with a special segment on smutty Japanese games) with little or no commentary. While these assets are now posted daily all over the web on sites like ours I miss being able to just leave it playing in the background while baking a turkey or having threesomes. With some help from Viddler we threw some duct tape together and decided to pay a little homage. The result is: www.destructoid.tv
What it is: A site that allows you to watch all of our videos back-to-back, in full screen, without ever having to lift a finger. You can move your mouse to the sides of the screen to skip ahead and resize the window to 480p HD, or 720p HD (when available). The minimal interface also lets you drill down by console, all which contain hours of video. If you'd like more control you can also browse by playlist. Destructoid.TV also works on the PlayStation 3, but not the Wii (face!) so we'll work on fixing that.
In the coming days we'll also add channels for our video originals (Hey Ash, The Video Game Show, Video Reviews) as well as event coverage. We hope you like it -- let me know what you think!

Comments policy
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!
Contest:
A channels interface, perhaps? I dunno, just kinda throwing ideas around.
Good yob!
You've beeen putting some serious elbow grease into the site lately. Shit is SO cash.
I'll check it out when I'm off work.
Perhaps, at some point, there can be a SFW channel for those of us who would like to work with it on, but I understand that it's a very subjective term, and might be hard to implement. Just a thought, though.
Same here
@ParaParaKing
Really? Can you back that up?
In all seriousness, this is a neat idea. Kudos for trying new things and evolving the site.
Everyone should shoot Tom Cruise
Fixed
Thx Niero. Dtoid will surely rule the universe some day.
anyways hope this is fixed somehow, it's what i've been waiting for since gametrailers.com stopped working for my ps3 :-(
Also, playlist function.
Once again, Destructoid it's making my life better :3
