The Destructoid Show Awards show: Part Two

3:10 PM on 12.29.2010 | Jonathan Holmes

70 comments

Here it is! The big finale! The climactic closing to our two part awards show special (in case you missed it, here's part one). In this episode we have even more special guest stars, including game developers, game characters, Jim Sterling, Scott Stapp, Hamza Aziz, his alter ego "Ham", other Destructoid personalities, and even a birch or two. It's quite a wild ride.

As far as categories go, we cover Best DLC, Best Musical Score, Most Improved Series, Best New Intellectual Property, Best Remake/Revival, Best Competitive Experience, Most Surprising Announcement, and the all important Reader's Choice Award. If you were sad that one of your favorite games wasn't mentioned in part one, be sure to check out this installment. You might be pleased with what you see.

Speaking of sad, I'm sad to announce that this episode marks my final scheduled appearance as co-host of The Destructoid Show. I can't say for sure what will happen in the long-term, but for for now, I have responsibilities here on the east coast that restrict me from making regular appearances on this program (which is shot in California). I plan to stay as involved with the show as possible though, so if you know what's good for you, you better treat Max Scoville (the show's new co-host) with the respect that he deserves. Otherwise, I may have to start a new regular segment on the show about how annoyed I am at you for being mean to poor old Max.

<3 Holmes.

Epic-Kx

Holmes is leaving?

Whose boobs will I gaze at intently then for extended hours?

TriplZer0

Holmes is leaving? Holmes is on the east coast? I thought he lived on the west coast. Sad to see him go.

Kakashi

Wtf Holmes. You leaving is like having strawberries without the cream, peanut butter without the jelly, doc brown without my Marty. I love my redhead Tara, but it just won't be the same. /pouts

Primo

Who is going to take over the crazy arm flailing and hand gestures in the beginning of each episode?!

Dale North

Danny B. Love you so hard <3

amtalx

FUCKING SAD PANDA IS FUCKING SAD

We'll miss you Holmes.

bodybreak

so apparently i'm gay now, and have a thing for bears.
Danny Baranowsky just made my cock tremble.

TriplZer0

Oh Danny B. That was funny.

Have fun on Planet Quadroon, Holmes!

Gourd British

HOLMES NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I guess the biggest stars burn the brightest? :'(

I am seriously bummed out about this! Holmes you really made this show GREAT and were just hitting your stride as an engaging host. Please dont go far! Maybe hop on the live show more and make that worth watching

MuddBstrd

Oh noes! Holmes is leaving for the east coast!? I hope you're still around the site. It was great talking to you at DtoidHQ those times I was able to make it up there. Good luck with whatever calls you back to the land of blizzards!

Altair78

Great... my Shrine of Holmes is now going to collect dust until I see you again Holmes. How dare you... go off and... be all... responsible... and stuff.

Teta

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Who's gonna wear tight shirts two sizes smaller and speak always extremly excited for things.
And yeah I am being sarcastic but I do enjoy watching Holmes and Tara.
You wil be misssed Holmes, you will be missed.

Woopman

NO! HOLMES! I FUCKING LOVE YOU, MAN!

Fugly Duckling

Holmes, did you stick a talking cartridge in your pants?

I'll miss you on the show, man.

Tabarnaco

Golden Sun not in best remake/reboot!? Preposterous.
Also,

I'll wait to see the next few episodes before judging how it turns out, but it won't feel the same. It'll be like Bytejacker without the roof.

Danl Haas

Danny B was awesome.
Also, Starcraft II, not nominated for best competitive game? Seems like quite an oversight.

Frogboss

Gonna miss ya Holmes

GohanGVO

Holmes. ;_;

Fuzunga

Sad news, Holmes, but nice choice of replacement.

Mr Andy Dixon

Max Scoville has sex with my mother.

Jonathan Holmes

Thanks for the kind words, everybody! Don't think of it as losing me, but gaining Max (which is a very good thing). If things go well, I'll still be a regular part of the show, just not as host. Either way, I think the show will only get better from here.

@ DanlHaas- We also didn't nominate Just Cause for most improved series, which was arguably just as big of an oversight. In short it, was tough to get all the worthy games nominated in there, as we mostly nominated games that the majority of Dtoid editors had played (so we could fairly vote on them).

My apologies to Starcraft II fans, Far Cry 2 fans, and fans of every other game we didn't nominate. We didn't mean to snub your favorites.

MuddBstrd

Ack, double post ftl. :P

ICLHStudios

I'd like to see a best level/mission catagory, for which I'd nominate Platform Panic (1st golden temple level) from DKCR.

Kyle MacGregor

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

BalloonFighter

I knew you was an alien, I just knew it. In fact I'm pretty sure you are ET grown up. That sucks you're leaving the show though. Can't there be an East Coast show too? Why does a Destructoid show have to be done in California? Is it because of all the outdoors stuff you do on the show?

GameQueen

Aw yeah, There's the DCKR! Will miss you Holmes.

AceFlibble

Shame Holmes is going when this was, I think, the best episode of the Show so far. Going out on a high note I suppose.

And how fucking huge is Max O_O It's going to be the '89 Brit Awards all over again from here on out.

dfielder

Bahhhh the only reason I watched was because of Holmes :( Taras great too but.......... *sigh*

Dreggsao

I am so sad... i hoped to see Holmes in Donkey Kong cosplay, only fur and a tie, but now... i don't know what now.

amtalx

I think we may need to buy Tara a stool or something when Max starts co-hosting. I can't decide if Max is huge, or Tara is tiny. I suppose we could always cut Max off at the knees.

AlexBebop

Aw Holmes, we'll miss ya. This was a good "swan song" for you to go out on though. I hope whatever you got going on doesn't keep you from regularly posting on the site either!

Anyways, enjoyed the award show, and the show in general. I thought it got off to a rocky start but really found its stride. Can't wait to see more in 2011.

spineofsnow

No! Why, Holmes? It won't be the same without you.

Shinta 2

I never would have expected to see Duke Nukem impersonating Dargo from Farscape in this year's awards show ... but I was wrong! Nicely done.

Monodi

See ya soon, Space Cowboy.

rockmanblues

Holmes, you'll be missed. Best of luck to you in whatever you do in the future.

Emmet Mulgrew

Wait. Wait. Holmes. You're still gonna be a contributor on the site, right? I mean, it's bad enough losing that photogenic face and child-like playfulness that essentially makes you Destructoid's vulgar Elmo, but by God, you can't totally leave Destructoid, can you?

YOU HAVEN'T EVEN SUBMITTED A RE-REVIEW OF HOW ETERNAL DARKNESS IS THE BEST WESTERN HORROR GAME EVER YET

EdgyDude

So the rumors are true! Holmes is really are going back to make more Bit Transmission eps! HOORAY!, kinda sucks for the show though but i can live with it.

herphosmanolin

Hey, guest-starring Ashly Burch as "acceptance letter delivery girl"! Awesome!

DuckedUpOnQuack

Holmes, leaving? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

:( worst news on the show ever

Hamza CTZ Aziz

Holmes still works on Dtoid guys!

PrinceHeir

is holmes really gone? or will he back sometime next year?

im glad No More Heroes 2 Desperate Struggle and Deadly Premonition made presence in the awards :)

nakata

@ Primo

So Holmes is in fact Stan from Monkey Island?

Fuzunga

Hey Holmes, are you working on some top secret awesome stuff for the site, or are you out East for personal reasons?

Aaron Mxy Yost

Good luck to Max as new co-host, and glad you'll still be a regular part of the show Holmes!

Tubatic

Return of Sundays with Sagat?!?

Enjoyed your run as host, man!

Tanzil

How long until a bring back Holmes facebook group?

falsenipple
