Happy Wednesday, fellow Destructoid readers! It's time for yet another episode of your regularly-scheduled evening video game news program.
On today's show, I swoon over the latest Borderlands 2 trailer and congratulate Nintendo on localizing The Last Story for North America, while Max talks about some video game toys and Kojima's plans to open a new MGS studio in California. Last but not least, it looks like Retro City Rampage will be getting a big multiplatform release sometime this May. GET EXCITED!

Yeah, Max, your shirt is awesome. The Borderlands 2 trailer is neat, but I got soo tired of the original. I'd take a guess that it'll be much more of the same, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but doesn't attract me much. Kojima opening a studio here in the states? awesome. And really, L4D boomer and smoker? I want figures of the original survivors! And I saw the American Nightmare review Tara did, kudos.
I absolutely love Borderlands. I still play it here and there and I don't even have any of the DLC (which is where I'm told the game really shines). I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT FOR BORDERLANDS 2! SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!
