#SongCoverWednesday The Beaches cover Loverboy's Turn Me Loose. Also, I had no idea it was Wednesday until now.

Happy birthday Gus and belated bday Sam! I hope you both were able to enjoy it splendidly!

*sounds of crashing plates*

I'm now on day 3 of a slight fever. Didn't think much of it at first but now breathing is becoming worrying. Hoping it's just in my head. Finally given me time to play Yakuza 0 at least. Kiryu is the most likeable protagonist I've played in a looong time.

Happy birthday @TheBlondeBass from me and the lads! Sorry about your cake :/

Wasn't aware Yakuza 0 doesn't autosave so it looks like I'll need to replay the beginning. Also played as Glaz for a change since I never pick him and turns out he has frag nades, not impacts. Whoops! #SiegeTuesdays

Happy birthday from the crew & me, @Vxxy! Consume all the cake!

#FIFAMemeChallenge

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice....IMPOSSIBLE! First match got double-teamed by shields. Figured they were prooobably going to try that again. Took some cosmic alignment to actually pull off the counter. #SiegeSaturdays

Here's my dog enjoying the snow. I love him so much. #pettoid

Happiest of birthdays, Wes! Much love from me and the boys.

While disqus and Sakurai sow chaos throughout the land of Destructoid, let's check in and see how the tube-toiders are holding up so far to start the year:

Mine just reminded me I never got around to picking up Valkyria Chronicles 4.

Question: anyone get the warranty w/ their Switch from Best Buy and was it worth it? Doing research ppl made it sound like it included accidental damage but the website makes me think otherwise. I know they're usually cashgrabs but switches gonna switch.

Looks like practicing all that online tailing in Watch Dogs paid off. He didn't suspect a thing! Significantly less Kemono Friends decals than I would have expected though.

After Pokemon GO launched, the Canadian Armed Forces issued a warning for players to keep off of military bases. CBC filed an access to information request and had a fun article about the confusion. Link to story in comments:

Happy birthday @Soulbow! May the good Lord Tachanka bless you with the sweetest gfuel, dankest bud, and various legendary-grade BL3 weapons.

Ummm what the f*ck!?

Why would they design it like that!? (stick-tap to Boxman for the inspiration)

Our prayers have been answered with the latest patch! Time to put more time into The Outer Worlds.

Have a great birthday Flanx! Enjoy your festivities! Your bday horoscope calls for reaping the benefits of your hardwork. "You feel your life has a definite purpose this year." That starts with eating cake!

Happiest of birthdays, Cloudman Sam & Deadmoon! Your horoscope outlook for the year is "satisfying and balanced overall". Enjoy your cakes!

Happy birthday, you two! Enjoy all the cake!

Sony & Nintendo: "....." Microsoft: "NINJA! EXCLUSIVE TO XBOX!"

PSA: If you play #SeaOfThieves between Aug 20-24, you get a Halo-themed ship. That includes a Spartan figurehead.
