It's Friday afternoon here at The Destructoid Show, and that can only mean two things: gallons of booze and a smattering of news! Preferably in that order. With emphasis on the former.
On today's show, Max talks about SWTOR's latestcontroversy and gives some details on the new turn-based XCOM: Enemy Unknown, while I congratulate Steam on their seven long years of success and then take it upon myself to rage against entitled gamers who think their opinions are the only right ones. It's tough work, but it needs to be done.
Later on, we join New Challenger's Anthony Carboni and talk about his predictions for next week's Consumer Electronics Show - but not before Max declares his undying love for tits, effectively dissolving the last remaining shred of dignity left in our show. Now there's an accomplishment to be proud of!

@ 3:21 something told me Max is drinking scotch...or Natural Ice...or old milk.
X-Com! Between X-Com and Wing Commander 3, that was 7th grade for me.
Never beat it, got really hard as the game went on. Wish I still had that 90 Mhz PC with 16 Mb of RAM! wooT!
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!
