I saw that coming before I even clicked the link, but I went ahead and watched the whole damn thing anyways. Personally, I would have gone with Chocolate Rain on this one.

Far more informative than the news about Halo 3.

Good points made there, must watch for all new d'toid readers.

It's amazing how many /b/tards and /v/irgins read this site, it really is.

It's also amazing how many of them seem to write for the site as well. It's like a home away from home, Destructoid is.

And yes Pangloss, Chocolate Rain would have been a welcome change.

It's a pity Buck didn't mention that he steps away from the mic to breathe.

Chocolate Rain, while fresh and funny, kinda gets under my skin. I did consider it, but decided to stick with the classic.

What is it with this obsession with legend R Astley? This guy is the cornerstone of 1980's UK pop along with K Minogue and J Donovan.

Seriously WHY???

This is another public service announcement brought to you in part, by slim shady:

-fuck off with the Rickroll'd
-fuck off with the l3375p34k (this definitely includes "pwned" AND pronouncing it with a "P" over Xbox Live
-fuck off with the GAF5p34k (this includes "amirite?", "epic fail", "oh noes", etc.
-fuck off with the Killzone vs Halo debate. Killzone would have to have gameplay to qualify as a game.

That is all for now, carry on. (fuck off with the "carry on", like you're some kind of internet police!)
