Hey guys! Hope your holidays went well. This was The Destructoid Show's Monday episode, but I was too preoccupied with wholesome family-time/being hungover/shooting stuff with a pellet gun to post it when it first went up. It's not your typical news episode, but more of a Let's Play, comparing whether or not Skyrim or Saints Row The Third is a better game to pretend you're Santa Claus in.
Also, a couple things: I know Sinterklaas is the Belgian Dutch [Update: I'm just digging myself deeper. I'm sorry, Europe.] Santa, not the Santa of all of Europe. This video is pretty dumb, so let's chalk it up to momentary dumbpidity on my part. Also, I know who Sinterklaas is, cut me some slack.
Second: I know everyone's mad at GoDaddy for their support of SOPA, but the sponsorship was lined up weeks before this episode was shot, and that's not our department. Please try to appreciate the video for what it is, instead of hating it because of the politics involved. After all, it's Christmas. Er. It was, recently.
