Even if it was the extreme beach volleyball, the previous DOA movie made me lose all hope for humanity.
*shudders*

Craig at the end and what Destin said ACTUALLY made me LOL!

"Some people think football is a matter of life and death, I can assure them it is much more serious than that."

that made me sad

i really liked craig on screwattack and wish he didnt quit :(

OMG PRINCE OF PERSIA SO

OMG PRINCE OF PERSIA SO FUCKING HOTT!!

*cough*

Girly moment over. MAN, I wish I had a playstation... sort of. I think the wii NEEDS some sort of life breathed into it. It's as though it's moment in the sunshine has dissipated.

I agree

I noticed that with this Hard News. She really changed a lot!

Prince of Persia looks

Prince of Persia looks surprisingly good :)
Let's hope

Another great episode Destin :)

AWW.

Cute little God of War :D

Since Jake Gyllenhaal is in Prince of Persia...

Since Jake Gyllenhaal is going to be in the Prince of Persia movie, do you think Frank the six-foot-tall bunny rabbit do a cameo?

Great Episode! HYPE for Little Big Planet through the roof!

I particularly enjoyed the discourse between Collete and Destin. The humor and chemistry works really well. Its glad to see Destin spares himself at the expense of humor.

My favorite segment was the Mad World Wii knock. I definitely agree with the sentiment that Wiis are collecting dust after the post-Brawl / Kart-onslaught. Hopefully this game will inject some sort of liveliness into the console.

The news I'm most excited about, it goes without saying, and I'm a tad perturbed that none of you other G1s have mentioned this- LITTLE BIG PLANET PREORDERS!! The game is going to be amazing!!

Oh man...

I want to pre-order LBP so badly. I live in Europe so if I pre-order it from Gamestop will the game come in PAL or in NTSC? Can anyone tell me?

that obviously depends on

that obviously depends on whether you order it from a Gamestop in europe or America, Europe usually gets shafted on freebies though, so i dunno if we're gonna get Kratos

Damn.

Well thanks for telling me.

Incoming Stuttering Craig Sackboy.

I predict a contest to create Sackboys and Sackgirls of the ScewAttack gang. I wonder if LBP can model Corey's extreme rage.

Nip Shot

Thanks for the Gyllenhall nip shot at 1:28, shudder... :(

Why So Serious?

I wonder...

What will Destin do without man chest?

Anyway great show you guys

Darn those line ups!

This morning there was a huge line up at the local walmart that started before it even opened. Which is odd considering I live in a small prairie town in canada...

Doubt I'll get madworld though.. I just got brawl and am still playing that quite a bit. But obviously they'll make enough money without me. Good for them :D ... I hope it doesn't get banned. That would be retarded and unlikely.

Looks like im ordering from

Looks like im ordering from walmart....wait..i dont have a ps3

YAWN.

Troll much?

In the movie of DOA, there

In the movie of DOA, there is a scene where christi, helena,tina and kasumi are playing hot, hot volleyball. I'm surprise destin doesn't know that since he's hunting for any sign of boobs or hot scene in movies.

DOA beach volleyball=Best

DOA beach volleyball=Best movie ever.

Cast
Jessica Simpson
Pam Anderson
That girl form Disturba
Megan Fox
Angelina Jolie
And all the girls form girls gone wild

What about the asian female

What about the asian female cast? You can't expect any of the girls you named to be Kasumi or Lei Fang(<3)

It's the American version.

It's the American version. The japan version will have all Asian girls. And the only Asian actress I know is Lucy Lou.

I'm actually looking forward

I'm actually looking forward to the POP movie. He actually looks like the prince.

Thanks

Good job Destin. Its been a pleasure as always watching hard news.

PS: You should totaly hook up with Colette (sorry if I spelled her name wrong) You two get along really well.

I love u Colette

SO MUCH!!!

WINI FTW!!!
LALALALALALA~~~

Mad World will destroy the family friendly image of the wii?

i guess resident evil 4 wii edition, or No More Heroes wasn't enough huh?

Seriously. If Manhunt 2

Seriously. If Manhunt 2 couldn't ruin that image, I highly doubt Madworld will.

The guy who's doing this is dumb

I'm betting that he can't step a toe out the door without "Loser" slapping on his forehead.

Am I the only.....

Am I the only one who still thinks Colette and Destin should go out a date or something like that? I just think these 2 have some kind of chemistry that really sticks out.

Sneaky

did anyone notice or laugh at the fact when they said most video game movies are pretty bad and both clips are from Uwe Boll movies lol

i found it quite funny, but i want to see far cry to see Craig and Tom

Sands

Speaking of the PoP film, its being directed by Mike Newell (dir of the HP films and worked with Peter Jackson & Michael Bay from time to time)

This should offer a bit of hope that it could deliver on a better level. =D

Jazz Cruise Commercial

That Jazz Cruise Commercial after the segment always gets me in the mood to play some jazz riffs on my guitar.

haters

somehow i get the feeling that screwattack or mainly destin doesn't like the wii. i understand a lot of people don't like the wii, but i just get this vibe from destin that he hates the wii.

Your a n00b

If thats true, than he also hates the PS3, 360, bad videogame movies, draconian practices by console manufacturers, negative trends in the games industry where you are screwed out of money, and Asian people named Miyamoto. Just kidding about the Asian part.

Hard News is a comedy segment. Key word- COMEDY. Have you ever seen the Colbert Report? The Daily Show? Seriously? Its based on opinion, exaggerations, and most importantly, comedy.

Console warriors are irritating. They make gross insinuations, asinine assumptions, and take matters to heart.

I think

I think hard news is more... true than the colbert report. Also less exaggerating. It's mostly real, and still funny! yea! Also people don't like the wii as much because almost all the 3rd party games on it suck.

Wii Family Friendly?

I don't think MadWorld will ruin the family friendly crap when we already have No More Heroes...

Madworld looks great maybe

Madworld looks great maybe this will shut people up about the wii being a kiddie system and it looks fun to jam street signs through some guy's mouth

My own PC hard news!

Imma keep doing this for the 5 PC fans out here!

Today on my very own hard news cheap fake - the PC stuff that Destin didn't think were important enough to add because the PC isn't as 1337 as the Xbox360 - The PC version of the game "Bionic Commando Rearmed" will be more expensive then the console versions, Team Fortress 2 gets another huge update, Nvidia launches it's new driers that support "PhysX" and Nancy Drew is still on the top 10 PC selling games... Yes I'm serious...
I'm a Destin-wannabe and this is my very own PC hard news! "Double clicking on a mouse instead of pointing at the camera"

[Picture of Bionic Commando Rearmed PC cover]
Capcom recently stated that the PC version of the game "Bionic commando Rearmed" is gonna be $5 more expensive then the console versions. According to Capcom this is because digital content is more expensive and that the PC version will probably have more content anyways. They also claim that this is not due to pirate issues and pirating had nothing to do with this pricing decision. And of course we have to believe them.
[Picture of DMC4 PC cover]

[Picture of Team Fortress 2 cover]
According to valve, Team Fortress will get it's next big update soon. This time they are focusing on the heavy class. TF2 fans can expect 3 new unlockable weapons, 35 heavy class specific achievements, a new game mode with 5 new maps for it, a new payload map and much more. Usually I'd try to make a joke right here but screw this, Valve rocks and I can't wait for this update.
[Picture of thumbs up]

[Picture of Nvidia logo]
Nvidia recently released their new drivers which supports a new Nvidia GPU tech called "PhysX". This tech will add a "fluid" support which basicly means everything soft and anything that flows will interact more realistically and look more real overall. This tech will only support the 8xxx series and above.
This is great news for PC gamers that will now be able to enjoy huge jiggly asian boobs with more realism. I'm sure that Jose El Mexicano is already standing in line to buy his new PC with an Nvidia graphic card after he saw these news.
[Picture of a dude standing in line with Jose's smiley face pasted on him]

[Picture of Nancy Drew: Phantom of Venice PC cover] And lastly, for the last 3 weeks the PC game "Nancy Drew: Phantom of Venice" has been dominating the PC selling chars by remaining in the 1st spot. In NPD's latest top 10 selling charts for July 27th, Nancy drew finally went down 1 spot and is now on the 2nd spot. The 1st spot was replaced with the game "Sims: Deluxe pack".
My only wonder is... Ahh forget it. These news are already a joke by themselves. Man this sucks. Sigh...
[Picture of a sad smiley]

I'm... w/e. "sob" Exuce me...

(Yes I like PC IGN. They rock!)

I usually do 3 news stories

I usually do 3 news stories a day, and obviously you didnt watch yesterdays episode because I did 2 pc stories. The Bionic Commando story was one of them.

I know

I just like to make fun of the fact that u usually ignore the PC. It became a hobby of mine. :P

Oh and btw, forgot you did 1 on Bionic already. My bad! I actually did watch ur hard news yesterday. I never missed 1. Just forgot that u included this. :)

mad world banned

i was looking forward to mad world i don't want to order it from somewhere else like i did with man hunt 2

Banning

Don't worry the chance of that retard banning it are no existant as long as it has the proper rating

I dont think I clarified

I dont think I clarified well enough on the episode today, but he wants it banned in the UK. It's my fault though I didnt write the story descriptive enough.

Colette Kissed A Girl

You know what Colette looks like Katy Perry, that chick that sings "i kissed a girl", so thats just really awesome and hot, oh and destin we know you like her, you always have a big blushing smile on your face when you see her.

I know for sure about Madworld

That it will get that layer of dust on it off for a while and if it does get banned I will revolt!!!!!!!

so true

so true destin, most video game movies only focus on action. likt the resident evil movies

PS3

I really wanna play Little Big Planet, but i dont want to go and buy a ps3! :(

Do it!

They really aren't that expensive and the PS3 is growing a pretty good library. Uncharted, Ratchet, Heavenly Sword, MGS4, and Warhawk - alongside LBP, Resistance 2, and Motorstorm 2 this weekend.

You know you want one :D.

Craigs not a douche...

But that last punchline was hilarious!

prince of persia movie stink

the prince of persia movie stink so bad,that the crew has to wear mask to keep from barfing

Family Friendly?

Well what about titles like Mortal Kombat: Armageddon? (Which I like a lot because the controls are like SSB.)
