Howdy, pardners. It's that thing again, that thing with the robot. And the redhead. And the guy in the little vest.
Big news today, you might have a shot at having your cake and eating it too. Wal-Mart and Target are selling the 3DS for the discounted price early, giving you access to all those free games. Of course, if you wanna wait around and buy a red one, that's cool too. The multiplayer beta of Assassin's Creed: Revelations is a PS3 exclusive, starting in September. Capcom says Mega Man is not dead, but that's really all they're saying. We got a picture of a Dark Elf from Skyrim, and I don't care, because elves are stupid. Bungie is copyrighting random words left and right, and the demo for Driver: San Francisco is now available for downloading on PS3 and 360. But not PC.
If you haven't already, check out Podtoid, the podcast Tara and I do with Jim Sterling and Jonathan Holmes, in which we talk about having sex with dogs and pterodactyls and stuff.
Also, The Destructoid Show will be LIVE again this Friday at 3:30 PM PST, 6:30 PM EST, and 11:30 PM GMT. Tune in for contests and swearing.

@BoneClawHugo: Obviously you missed the epic pun. And if it wasn't a pun, it would be "pterodactyle" (which is the correct spelling). When it comes to puns spelling goes out the widnow.

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!
