If you are one of those people notorious for typing "TL;DR" or "WALL OF TEXT" in the comments of blog posts, yet still feel the need to know what's going on in the gaming universe, ScrewAttack may have solved your problem permanently: how does a high-speed dose of hard-hitting news clocking in at under two minutes sound to you? It may last longer than your last roll in the hay...if you're lucky.
Not only does Hard News premiere today, but it can be seen from now on at 7PM Eastern/6PM Central on
ScrewAttack.com. If that isn't enough for you, you may want to come to see a familiar face: I'll be appearing on the show soon as a guest on a regular basis to give my take on current news, Destructoid-style. This may mean swearing or words that may offend your mother, so you may want to save it for when you aren't under the watchful eyes of coworkers.
Dallas, Texas – ScrewAttack Entertainment LLC, home of the most downloaded video game entertainment programs on the Internet, today premiered its much anticipated news program, Hard News. The daily program is not only a first for ScrewAttack, but is the first program of its kind available on the Internet.
Hard News focuses on the most important gaming industry news gamers care about. Originally a segment on the popular ScrewAttack podcast SideScrollers, Hard News
makes its formal premiere this evening on ScrewAttack.com as a stand-alone program.
Presented as a series of news briefs, Hard News anchor Destin Legarie spotlights the
latest information in the gaming world, with classic ScrewAttack attitude. “We bring you the news, ScrewAttack style,” said Legarie.
In addition to bringing gamers the latest breaking gaming news, Hard News will feature several weekly segments, including Cheapy D of CheapAssGamer.com, granting Hard News viewers exclusive access to the best gaming deals of the week; Colette of Destructoid.com, giving her unique perspective on recent events in the gaming industry; and investigative reporting by ScrewAttack’s own Maxifent Corey, taking an expanded look into some of the top stories in the gaming world. “Hard News will make the traditional media rethink how they bring the news to gamers,”said Craig Skistimas, Program Director of ScrewAttack Entertainment.
Hard News premieres tonight, and can be seen every weeknight at 7PM EST/6PM CST
exclusively at ScrewAttack.com. To view the premiere edition of Hard News, please

Awesome!
Shaddaup Reaprar.
p.s. colette, i'm not mad at you.
But for CheapyD and you, Colette? Anything. :) Keep us up-to-date on it in your c-blog, pleeeeeease.
please...PLEASE tell us when you guys are involved. As that's the only reason i'll watch. The guy was too uh...hm..boring? No emphasis on his jokes which basically killed what could've been ok.
Technically he quit voluntarily after his negotiation for a higher salary was denied.
I love the expression after the mention of Pop.
also, Reaprar, just /wrist your self :P
ALSO, TLDR
was it something I should've read?
Speed + Sarcasm = Win
they went with colette.
They're struggling a bit in my eyes; Maybe Collette and Cheapy can give them some structure and a boost in production value. Otherwise I don't see this show going all that well.

All that aside, though, I think it's an interesting turn for Screwattack and I think only time will tell as to whether or not it becomes truly successful. Destin in my opinion did a good job; I'm sure he'll come along more as Hard News continues, and I think with Colette on board this will be good for both sides.
