The Daily Hotness: Killer is Dead

"You don't understand anything, do you?" It's like Suda51 is talking directly to me circa 2005 after playing Killer7. The Podtoid crew brought you another podcast, Patrick reviewed the super difficult Krunch, Dale previewed ...   more

The Daily Hotness: Goku vs. Superman

The folks over at ScrewAttack put together a video to help determine who would win in a fight between Goku and Superman. I'd think it wouldn't be too difficult for Goku to take the win. He'd only have to mention Superman 64 ...   more

The Daily Hotness: Pokemon meets American Psycho

I don't get what the big deal is. It's not like it's a Charizard. The new year seems to be in full swing as we took a look back at our most anticipated games for last year and how they turned out, then continued to make some...   more

The Daily Hotness: Con envy

A decent portion of the Destructoid community is gearing up for MAGfest this weekend, CES happens next week, and PAX East is just around the corner. I'm jealous of everybody going to those things, as I don't have any plans to...   more

The Daily Hotness: Blistering barnacles

The funny thing about good game design is that many of the elements that work really brilliantly never actually get noticed. Today Hamish Todd took a really close look at one of the less discussed creatures in the Half-Life s...   more

The Daily Hotness: Hammerlock

I'm kind of a Borderlands nut. When I think I'm done playing, another one of my friends starts up and I feel compelled to start a new character and play along. I was pretty pleased to hear about the third set of DLC for Borde...   more

The Daily Hotness: To be or not to be

One of my favorite webcomic producers wrote a choose-your-own-adventure book about Shakespeare's Hamlet. It's up on Kickstarter and has demolished its original funding goal. Above is an illustration that accompanies one of th...   more

The Daily Hotness: Teleglitch

A few days ago Allistair was ranting and raving in the staff email about Teleglitch.  He compared it to Hotline Miami and FTL: Faster Than Light, but "much better."  Considering that I have FTL and Spelunky on my pe...   more

The Daily Hotness: Holiday gift guide

Alistair wrote up a really good holiday gift guide that you all can send to your more clueless friends and relatives. I wouldn't know which type of gamer I'd say I am to direct their purchases though. All of the games on ther...   more

The Daily Hotness: So full of starch and meat

On this great American holiday, we all give thanks for being American, and then proceed to stuff our faces until we hate ourselves. I trust you all did your part. I personally made a pineapple upside down cake and a pecan pie...   more

The Daily Hotness: Looks better than We Dare

Does anybody else remember this monstrosity? I don't know what happened to it, but this is where I thought the Spin the Bottle Wii U trailer was going. Needless to say, my expectations were shattered by the above video. Othe...   more

The Daily Hotness: Blood and Chrome

Fans of evil death robots and people who say "frak" when they are not talking about various techniques for mining natural gas rejoiced today, as the webseries Blood and Chrome debuted today. As a prequel to the Battlest...   more

The Daily Hotness: I wish I could listen to this

Once again, Jayson brought us a Noteworthy today, this time featuring nothing but Final Fantasy music. Of particular interest to me are the chiptune arrangements from Final Fantasy VII, so you can imagine my chagrin finding o...   more

The Daily Hotness: Bounce music off walls to level it up

That's the secret subtitle of Make Music, Throw Music: A Yoshi's Island Tribute, as far as I'm concerned. Why nobody thought to take Yoshi's Island's sounds and compose original music with them before is beyond me. This shou...   more

The Daily Hotness: Forward Unto Dawn

Although I'm not nearly as into Halo as a videogame series now as I was ten years ago, Forward Unto Dawn reminds me that the franchise has really rich fiction associated with it. The folks at Machinima have done a great job ...   more

The Daily Hotness: Come play Werewolf with us

About a year ago, we started playing Werewolf on the Destructoid forums. We're gearing up for our anniversary game, and we'd love some fresh meat to brutally rend and devour, via asynchronous text-based gameplay. You should j...   more
