When Eddie Riggs isn't busy saving an alternate dimension from pure evil, he's helping out the most metal band ever, Dethklok. He gets the band women, saves them from a demon and even cuts the crust off their peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Best roadie ever!
This is easily one of the best tie-ins to a game ever. What better way to promote your heavy metal game than by making a cameo on Metalocalypse?
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

I'd like to see Tim Schafer and Brendon Small make a game together. Doesn't have to be Metalocalypse or Brutal Legend related - anything they come up with would be gold.
"He cuts the crust off my sandwiches and he looks like Danzig" made me laugh. Never realised that. I also had the same feeling while playing the game. I couldn't decide whether Riggs was really awesome or a total dick.
A little of both, methinks. That's what makes him a good character.
Lars, on the other hand, I couldn't decide if I hated or liked through like 90% of the game. Brutal Legend has some interesting characters, for sure.
Haha, wow, I love Metalcalypse, and this short video with Eddie is amazing. I just wonder how brutal it would be if they made a whole episode with Eddie in it.
