If I was one of Link's companions in a Zelda game, I would definitely be less cryptic and more direct. Instead of a "Hey!", "Listen!", or "Watch out!", I would be more of a "Look, Link. You could go light those torches, step on that switch, and risk your life fighting those Skulltulas ... or you and I could go chill at Lon Lon Ranch and drink some red potions. I'M JUST SAYIN'"
Sure, Link wouldn't get a lot done, but he would have much more fun.
Okay, where was I. Oh, yeah. Tonight, GameTrailers TV is airing its annual "VGA Nomination Special" and I was asked to be a panelist! Exciting! Some fellow game industry folk and I were brought on to discuss the five nominees for VGA Game of the Year! It is very exciting, life-changing stuff.
The show airs at 1:05 AM EST on Spike, so TiVo it if you can! I tried my best to make Destructoid proud!

If you want to make us proud, don't go HURRRRR. Just kidding, kind of. I uh...I hope it's better this year, but I ain't countin' on it to be. I really hope you guys consider all the bugs in Skyrim before giving it game of the year.
Congratulations on associating yourself with the worst, money driven award show that is exactly wrong with the gaming industry. Well done you. Great contribrution.
