Hey guys! It's me, Max! Remember me? I'm back from my vacation with another episode of The Destructoid Show for you to rub your noses in.
First up, twelve minutes of Batman: Arkham Cityexists on the internet. On top of that, there's some concept art of the new Robin (AKA The Dark, Brooding, Twenty-Something-Year-Old Wonder). Then, some fluffy PR nonsense about Aliens: Colonial Marinesand a joke about Helen Hunt. There's some new stuff about Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which sounds very smart and important. Far Cry 3is going to be very big, but is that good? Finally, here's a wacky rumor about Best Buy trying to get a foot into the ass of the used games market. Door. Foot into the door. Finally, some details on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and what PC gamers can expect.
I showed off some of my vacation photos, and shamelessly plugged Battle Hill Forge, my friends' blacksmith shop where they make swords and orc helmets and stuff.
Mega jumbo thanks to Anthony Carboni and Jose Sanchez for substitute hosting last week, and super high-five thanks to Ghost Of Tom for sending us a copy of Fallout: New Vegas!

Oh Max, I missed you so much. So much, that I'd love to staple your pinky toes together and then lick them both at the same time once while you watch Mel Gibsons What Women Want, and then awkwardly pretend it happened because I was drunk. Can I do that Max? No?
Can we at least have a hug then, while I wear this? Still no?
Ok then, I'll quietly crawl under my shiny boulder. For some reason, it remains my one and only true friend.
OK Tara, you brought up a metal bikini... now you have to wear one. Heck, she has one: http://www.destructoid.com/the-weekend-hotness-female-armor-205207.phtml
Give her a call, all girls in the Hollywoodz know each other, rite? ;D
Don't take this the wrong way Tara but when I saw Max on the video I was more excited to see him. It's not wrong to like a man look at that chiseled face and awesome hair.
Welcome back Max. I hope you threw some axes. Whenever I go to a Ren Fair, I have a tradition of drinking a couple of black and tans and heading to the axe throwing booth and throwing some axes. It usually goes well.
I know what Randy meant when he said that garbled sentence. He basically wants to gounrd some aspects of the Aliens universe more in reality. Possibly by offering realistic-science fictionesque explanations for things.

Dude, you were in Avon? That's like 5 minutes away from my house. We totally should of done... something. Then again, I don't own any guns or battle axes.
@Tyson The Tool - I was in Cornwall, actually, but my buddy lives in Avon. Next time I'm going out there I'll make a big fuss ahead of time. Maybe we can grab a... Nutmeg... Something... Whatever people grab in CT.
I'm seriously considering making that Scoville road picture my new desktop wallpaper. It's such a serene and happy picture.
Plus it has you in it, Max.
Good to have you back Max. I think I speak for all of us when I say I missed your bitching. Good bitching. Not bitch bitching, but healthy bitching in general.

What the fuck is wrong with me?

But srsly guys. You should give Carboni a full time job here. Just get rid of that annoying ginger chick or something.
Except for you, Hamza. Why don't you go manage a community... IN YOUR ASS.
I mean I already watched the Batman and Far Cry footage, and fuck Skyrim, so most of this was garbage to me, I just clicked for Max's holiday snaps.
It's been a long time since I laughed that hard at something. Thank you. Alot.
