Happy Monday, Destructoid! In the event that you were too busy huffing ether to pay attention to the Spike TV VGA's this weekend, Max and I have managed to condense the only important parts (i.e., the trailers) into a simple, brief, and only mildly offensive ten-minute segment. Aren't you proud of us? ...Please say yes.
In other news, Destructoid announced its nominees for Game of the Year today, a handful of video games came out this week, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance has replaced Metal Gear Solid: Rising, and for once, 4chan used its powers for good and got the next best thing to a Half-Life 3 confirmation from Gabe Newell.

Ugh I need a new Xbox so bad since Micosoft won't fix mine cuz they have horribe customer service but I don't play Halo so I don't have a favorite Halo memory. Please let me know if you have another Xbox for grabs for something thats not a shooter. Hopefully I can get one before ME3 hits stores...
Tara didn't beat portal 2, if she did she would know that chances are slim of a sequel, that much is obvious :P. Unless we take the co-op ending into account and take it as face value, if so the let the milk begin.
i was going to buy a new xbox 2 hrs from now but i would not mind if you guys just gave me that one for free without me competing and shipping it to europe for free and the delivery guy gives a me hug too but that wont happen probably.
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!
