If you've ever wondered what it looks like when two sick people host a live show together, then look no further. Technical difficulties be damned, today's live taping of The Destructoid Show has explored the boundaries of what a human being is truly capable of on three cans of Red Bull.
In video game news, Notch is no longer the lead developer of Minecraft, BioWare Pulse is showing off some new Mass Effect 3 gameplay footage, Bethesda is releasing their SkyrimCreation Kit next January, and Xenoblade Chronicles is now confirmed for a US release. In other ridiculous news, EA just announced a $30 annual membership plan for their new TetrisiOS app, so Max and I responded by each creating a list of things we'd rather spend $30 on than an annual Tetris membership. The results with literally astound you.

$30... To play Tetris on a mobile phone... I don't know if I should bang my head to my desk, punch my self in the stomach, facepalm, or start a new religion all about Bobby Kotick for at least giving a couple millions they got from MW3 sales to church. I'll say this now... EA is the new Activison. ME3 and DS3? $50 annual online pass!
Wait Tara, you forgot to add something to your list of things you'd rather buy than an annual $30 subscription for Tetris: the first season of Pokemon on DVD! It's on sale on Amazon new for $29.99! :D
Beautiful show.
I didn't think about how Tara could announce the winners from her notes, even though they had just won, before Max mentioned it.
Magic scroll from the future ftw.
Talk about professionalism. Sick, weary, and still going strong. That's impressive guys. I hope you both heal over the weekend and are refreshed for next week. Take care.
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!
