We are locked in an eternal food eating contest with 2K photo

We're not sure how, and we're especially not sure why, but Destructoid and 2K Games are locked in never ending food eating battle. It started with a pie eating contest with P.B. Winterbottom's producer Paul Bellezza, which they had TO CHEAT IN ORDER TO WIN.

Our second battle was going to be a five-versus-five contest that was supposed to take place during the Game Developers Conference last week. 2K's Jennie Sue had set up the fight where we would be chowing down on 120 Lumpias. Sadly, we couldn't make it over as GDC is just all sorts of chaos and what not.

It's not over though. Oh no, not by a long shot. I'm all set for a rematch with Paul Bellezza during his P.B. Winterbottom panel at PAX East next week and we're already talking to 2K about another battle at their offices down the line.

Why are we going through all this trouble? For one simply reason, my friends: JOURNALISM!

And honor. That's at stake too. Just try not to crush their spirits too badly. . . . I would love to see their next game come out soon.

How can you guys lose with Jim Sterling on your team?

You'd think that he'd at least be good at eating with how much he fails at being a journalist.

Hamza, get me in on this.

Because I won't have a lot of money, and free food is free food.

Would have been an A+ if they spelled 'Surrender Destructoid' (ala Wizard of Oz). I just like the idea of taunting with food.

I take it Jim is banned from such a competition because he is The Perfect Lifeform, correct? Just wouldn't be fair.

Am I the only one who knows Jim is on a diet? Not to put the mates business out there. Maybe it's just a joke that'll never die.

Jim Sterling is not needed. Aaron Linde and Adam "60 Chicken McNuggets" Dork are more than enough to take them down.
