Phew, sorry I had to break out the overused meme, guys. I'm just exhausted after a long day of live streaming the Destructoid show. It truly
was a festival of horrors!
In case you missed it, we discussed how Google Games is a thing that is most likely happening, Activision is resurrecting the Guitar Hero franchise, Freddy Krueger is making his debut in Mortal Kombat's August 9th DLC, and Bethesda's Pete Hines thinks that forced multiplayer options in games with little to show for themselves are a complete waste of time. I think most of us can probably agree with that. Last but not least, Max presents us with some outlandishSaints Row 3news and a rather ridiculous new trailer.
Thanks again for everyone who watched, and a hearty congratulations to those of you lucky enough to win one of the ten Limbo codes we gave away for PSN. If you caught the live show, please give us some feedback! The folks over at Revision3 are testing some new live streaming software, and we'd like to know if it enhanced your streaming experience.

The quality of this live shadow was much better than previous ones, even if it was only in 360p. So many people in chat though, hard to get a question read on air in between all the comments about how gay everything is or people trying to get Max to take off his shirt.
I did win one of the Limbo codes though, thanks so much guys!
If I could say anything I would love to have the Dtoid show live on Mondays and I would love for them all, in general to be longer. What makes the show enjoyable is the banter between the co-hosts to show your personalities and the news is the cherry on top. So, yea, keep 'em coming and longer episodes with more banter
The video quality definitely seemed better this time around and I fortunately had zero lag issues. And you and Max did a great job as well. It's pretty clear that you guys and Revision3 are getting the hang of the whole live thing, and Youtube's live streaming tech is getting better. There weren't any of the issues I've had with past live shows.
I'm starting to hear rumors that Rare has secretly teamed up with Tim Burton to make Fun & Fantasy I: Dildos & Dragons. Apparently William Dafoe is voicing every character in the game. Looks like Max's expectations about what he will be playing in November were all wrong.
