Daily Hotness: Gundams are better than videogames!

Why hello there! I’m sure you were expecting to see Hamza here, but he’s busy PAXing up Seattle. So you know what that means, right? We talk about tentacles, of course!

Actually, my favorite bit of news today was Mr. Tomino decrying games as evil. I’ll try and push him on his comments when he appears at New York Anime Fest. Want to challenge him yourself? We’ve got a couple of tickets to give away!

And now, onto your daily dose of Destructoid delectables!
