I am completely out of clever ways to start posts about The Destructoid Show. I will totally accept suggestions in the comments. On that note, we have another episode today.
Spoiler Alert: In this episode, Tara puts something in her mouth and I spit something out of my mouth.
MEGA BONUS: Kickass illustrator Mat Hudson put up some radical Squidbear art on his Flickr. Check this out, because it's so cool it will explode your ass out of your brain, which will subsequently explode with the force of a thousand suns. Prints are for sale here.

I think you guys should have a cable show. Maybe..replace the "hosts" on G4-Attack of the Show... because, lets face it, those two are aliens and we need more Star Wars mugs and cake lovers on TV.
I don't know why exactly I feel this way all of a sudden, but I don't think I like Tara any more. Her personality has become really grating to me. I'm used to Max now and I think he's great, but now that he's settled in, I don't think Tara really meshes with him. You guys should have Pico sub in one day (for Tara). I'd like to see how that would turn out.
The BYOND key "Squidbear" has been gifted a lifetime subscription to NEStalgia. That will allow you to create a guild if you like, or to goof off with the Ninja class. Thanks for the mention, it's super cool to see our game on your show!
Nice episode like usual. I feel dumb though, when I first saw the Squidbear art I thought it was a shirt. (it WOULD make a cool shirt)
But sadly, I don't give a shit about Elder Scrolls V, western RPGs just lack the interest that japanese ones though. (but there are plenty of crappy japanese RPGs out there as well) Whatever though, to each their own.
@benmakesmovies -- Holy shit! Awesome! I've never gotten anything for free doing this show! Thanks dude! I get to be a ninja now.
(You should put Squidbear in NEStalgia.)
@ANeM -- The Penny Arcade guys might've made that joke last year, but they didn't do that Photoshop in five minutes yesterday morning while running late for work. Also, I'm taller than them.
@Noir -- You realize Squidbear isn't actually in the game, right? I mistook a woolly mammoth corpse being eaten by a bear for a bear/squid hybrid, and instead of having journalistic integrity to admit my mistake, I decided to make up an animal.
Honestly, how can Max's girlfriend cope with this? I'm sure they keep it professional and friends only, but the sexual tension between them is palpable
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
