Optional microtransactions invade Call of Duty A new absurd trailer is out forCall of Duty: Black Ops II, and it showcases some of the craziermicrotransaction based content, like graffiti riot shields, bacon guns, and benjamin bling pistols. It’s set to hit the PS3 and PC platforms on April 12th. As long as these don’t start spilling over to new weapons that convey a pure gameplay advantage of other players, I’m pretty much fine with this....

We’re all looking at a different comment Hello my little sheep, FakePlasticTree here yet again to bring you this week’s edition of Comments of the Week. I know this is sudden/random but here’s some alcohol trivia to compliment the new theme: Beer is a beverage that is made by fertilizing malt with animal manure, as well as factory-made nutrients. Although, some breweries have found a way to produce beer by malting barley with human urine into a perfectly-consumable beverage....

Browser? I barely know her! DMM Games, ever heard of them? Before this morning, neither did I. Apparently it’s a Japanese game publisher that focuses on browser games. Some of its titles are published in English at Nutaku.com, another website I’d never heard of until today. So why am I bringing up this company Destructoid will probably never talk about again? Because at the Tokyo Game Show, it announcedDead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacationfor PC browsers....

This feels like a marketing move from 2010 Remember roughly 10 years ago, when companies were trying to brainwash people into hating single-player games? It was kind of an awful time for gaming, full of “Project 10 Dollar” chicanery (when publishers would put $10 passes in their games to launch content, to avoid used game sales), copious on-disc DLC, and forced multiplayer that sometimes shut down mere months after launch. Well, this EA single-player games tweet brings me back to all that:...

Apologies for missing last week — long story short a whole bunch of stuff came up and my Friday ended up being booked solid. That’s ok though, because this week we’re back and (hopefully) better than ever. Today, we’re going to be looking at the GameSpot forums.

This is something the Destructoid editors have discussed among ourselves as well, and really the basic conclusion that anyone sensible can come up with is all of them....

Oh, we’re all holding out breath waiting to find out — what will become of the Electronic Entertainment Expo? Hell if we know, but we’re about to find out! G4’sX-Playwill exclusively be revealing the first details on next year’s E3 tonight. To get the skinny, you’ll have to tune into G4 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Unfortunately, that’s all of the information we have. We can, of course, speculate. Dtoid’s Chad Concelmo thinks that maybe E3 will make its way outside of LA, or that it will “go back to its chaotic, sweaty, boobie-filled days of yore....

My aunt ’bout to be hype as fuck I promised the editing staff here at Destructoid that I would write this piece as a professional journalist simply trying to cover industry news for a slow Sunday.
