Description of Episode- On this episode of Sidescrollers Daily Destin, Stuttering Craig and Maxifent Corey talk about gaming news in a segment called Hard News, which Daily Destin releases in a video format everyday but talks about more interesting stories in-depth every week on Sidescrollers. More specifically he talks about an American store offering the demo of Killzone 2 if you pre-order it from them. They then get carried away, not the only time, talking about developers only releasing games during September and November because of competition. Destin then goes on to talk about a company releasing mouse pads with semi naked animated women. It came in a box that looked very...Inappropriate to say the least. The worst part is that it costs $166, there go my dreams! They moved on to the PS3 slowly dyeing, with the Wii doubling the sale and the xbox 360 increasing slightlyand the PS3 decreasing sales. They also talked about the fact that the PS3 is also a Blu-ray player won't sell anymore PS3's because you can buy a blu-ray player for 200 dollars.

Hard News is over and they called upon Angeal, the guest of this weeks show. The main part of this week’s Sidescrollers is each staff members wish's for 2009. By the way, isn't the music between segments and after/before segments so freaking awesome? Its all remix songs from video games made by members of the website's forums. Anyway, as Angeal seats down they talk about they’re accomplishments of 2008 and what they want for 2009. As every episode, Corey gets picked on again... Nothing new here. Destin talks about him establishing himself as an internet phenomenon and making Gametrailers users continue loving to hate him.He also wished Screwattack to grow, Angeal talks about him going to Japan next year and him teasing Screwattack’s gaming convetion that is going to happen this summer(I wish I could go) the past months. Craig, who is the mastermind, the big boss, wants Screwattack to become the website that the users, the g1's, deserve. He also wants everybody to hate Destin...Destin then also adds another goal for 2009, he wants everybody to write negative comments to him, even his mom.

The main part is over and the next part of the show is the news desk that g1's send stories about funny/serious news that are fun to listen to. You always learn something new, for example did you know that when we did the countdown for the new year this year we should have counted twice 1 because the tectonic plates moved and they have been adding one second to every year since 1976, so we should be counting 1-1-0 on the countdown.

The final part is forum questions from g1's to the staff members.

Why did I choose this podcast?
I simply chose this podcast because I have something in common with these guys. We love having fun, messing around and playing video games. I actually talk to these guys on a daily basis and play games with them in the weekends. I watch these every week everyday after I come from school on Wensday so it can get me pretty relaxed before I get into homework. I also chose this podcast because it is very interactive with the users, which I am one of!
