Today's episode of The Destructoid Show burns hotter than a thousand barbecues in a million golden Hells, and it's all thanks to the valiant efforts of you, true believers! Sort of. We talked about some of the games people suggested last night in the chat.
First up, Tara shamelessly plugs some super cute Minecraft pins that were given to her by the folks at FanGamer.net. I don't see the Minecraft ones up yet, but go check out the other neat stuff they sell and then maybe they'll give me presents, too.
Since it's Destructoid.com's 5th anniversary, we announced that Mr. Destructoid himself is going to be appearing in Retro City Rampage. I also revealed the Mr. Destructoid Vs. Squidbear tee-shirt design I drew up a while ago. Shirts aren't available for purchase quite yet, but trust me, we'll keep you posted. We like it when you guys wear shirts.
Spoiler Alert: We did another stupid voiceover for the trailer at the end of today's episode.

"Shut up Selena, I love Robin!" made me spray water all over my computer screen.
