We can all agree that the internet is awesome, right? Well, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, sometimes people make the internet not so awesome. Case in point: the website fatuglyorslutty.com, which compiles some of the most horrendous xbox live messages you can find. On the flip side, the internet does ALLOW us to play KILLZONE 3 online, which Jim Sterling says is “as close to perfect as online shooters get.” We talk about both of these things on today’s show, as well as the revelation that Halo might be rereleased in HD this November, and confirmation that Saints Row 3 will come out this fall. We’ve also got the new Battlefield 3 teaser trailer, and a release date for Dungeon Siege 3. BTW, we want you guys to call our voicemail line and let us know what YOUR worst internet comment ever was.
DESTRUCTOID SHOW 0029 TGIMFF! Jonathan and Tara prepare for the weekend by gushing about the reason they got into game journalism: Mafia Wars! They also talk about a bevy of cheap, awesome iPhone games, the official Playstation mobile app (not as cool as it sounds), the return of Conan to gaming, the declining ratings of the Video Game Awards, and a whole lot more. We’ve also got some eye candy in the form of Fallout:New Vegas trailer, and direct-feed Uncharted 3 gameplay! Tara was lucky enough to be at the Uncharted 3 event last weeks, and she shares everything she knows (at least for now). Go to revision3.com/destructoid to catch up on all the episodes, and justin.tv/destructoid to check in on our wacky live hijinks.

Also, Tara does her best Lara Croft pose, whatever that means. Want to get involved in the show?
