The Daily Hotness: GOBBLE GOBBLE! photo

The Internet is a little slow around the holidays. Not much has happened in the world of videogames, but there a few things you should take a look at from the last two days on Destructoid.

Chad gave us the tragic history of turkeys in videogames, a bunch of Community blogs were promoted to keep the flow going, we're giving away two tickets to Blip Festival 2009 and some more gobble gobble gobble happened during the Thanksgiving holiday.

The Daily Hotness: Here's a little bonus room photo

Hamza is doing things in Canada right now. "Off the grid" things, wouldn't you know it. Consider this picture of Action Hank a loving tribute to him.

Ashley reminded us of Terry Scott Taylor's brilliant videogame tunes, Nick confirmed his adoration of iCarly, there was an announcement that Dead Space 2 (OMFGZOMGBBQ!) will be announced next month, and a bunch of other silly pre-Thanksgiving news happened on 11/25/09.

The Daily Hotness: It's not unusual photo

Carlton, ladies and gentlemen. That's what I'm talkin' about.

Hamza's still off looking at moose, so you're stuck with me again. But that's okay, because I talked to Jim earlier, who's finally gotten to play Raskulls, and he tells me it's a great deal of fun. That's good to hear. Keep an eye out for more on that this week.

Chad shed a manly tear over Mother 3, Ben gave us a look at some hot Monster Hunter action, Niero's showing some college kids how to be awesome like him, I listened to the same Judy and Mary album for six solid hours, and a dog played Tony Hawk: Ride. Doesn't get much better than that, at least not on 11/19/09.

The Daily Hotness: Hamza's in Canada photo

Hi. It's me. I'll be bringing you tonight's recap because Hamza went to Canada for some reason. Maybe to see a moose. It was probably to see some game, but I'm going to pretend it was a moose because that's cooler.

Jim is also out of town this week, and he'll be kicking it with Halfbrick to get a look at their upcoming XBLA game, Raskulls, which looks pretty awesome. Stay tuned for more info and details on the game this week as a product of the aforementioned kicking it.

No More Heroes is coming to the PS3/360, Facebook came to PS3 for some dumbass reason, and other monumental events which will forever change the course of human history transpired, all on this fine day called 11/18/09.
