Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



Yesterday, actress Estelle Getty -- best known for her magnificent portrayal of spicy old bat Sophia Petrillo on the 80s television sitcom Golden Girls -- passed away. She was 84.

Obviously, we spent most of the day mourning her loss. But we couldn't pass up these videogame tidbits: 

  • Join the swinger's club! Maybe Bionic Command Rearmed comes out next week on XBLA and PSN. [Degenki -- Thanks, Buster!]
  • Or maybe Geometry Wars 2 comes out next week! [Team Xbox -- thanks, power-glove!]
  • We don't know any insider info, but if we did, we'd say this seems like a pretty likely set list for Guitar Hero World Tour. [covah's cblog]
  • Australian equivalent of ESRB rates an unannounced title, Tenchu: Shadow Assault. No one knows what it is! *cough* It's an XBLA game *cough* [Via UGO]
  • A wireless skateboard for the Xbox 360 and PS3? Why don't you learn to ride a real skateboard! [Shiny Shiny]
  • Konami is really sorry about that whole Metal Gear Online SNAFU. You know, the one where it was broken and they didn't know why. [1UP]
  • Penny Arcade's Fallout comic has begun! [Bethesda]
  • (Camera) obscura indeed! Nintendo of America doesn't even know what the hell anyone is talking about with all of this Fatal Frame 4 nonsense. What is that, some kind of game? Hey guys, have you seen their virtual cookbook for the DS or what? [GoNintendo]
Send your videogame-related news and tips to tips@destructoid.com ... because if you threw a party and invited everyone you knew, you would see the biggest gift would be from me, and the card attached would say "Thank you for being a friend."

Yeah, the list that he posted is fake. You don't name a tour, QQ. I am not the biggest fan of Emo music but that is way too insulting too the artists it represents. There is, also too much metal on that list.

Also, from what we already know aren't the Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath masters were unusable in Rock Band.

Picture it, Cicily, 1924...

I will admit it. I loved the Golden Girls and Sophia was my favorite of the four.

I've been in mourning ;_;

As I was telling Andrew earlier, that list may be fake, but it sure does have a lot of (unannounced) songs that are actually in the game. That's all I'm saying.
