Honoring the best in whatever and junk E3 has come and gone and boy was it… fun? Entertaining? Exciting? None of the above? Look, it’s a trade show, a five day long commercial for products we’ll buy, play, and trade in for shitty GameStop credit. Or, we’ll just watch other people play them online.

She thinks she’s people Jonathan introduced this video of a kitten occasionally pawing atSuper Smash Bros.by saying, “It’s the least newsworthy news ever newsed, but it will make people happy to watch.” Indeed, I had just come off a last-round defeat inSmash‘s All-Star Mode and the video drastically improved my mood. That’s the power of kittens. And the backstory makes it even better: “Her name is Mappy and we rescued her October 21st when she was just a scared five-week-old kitten playing Frogger on the road in a busy intersection....

Awhile back, the Destructophone rang off the hook with concerned calls when the word got out that Wii version ofGuitar Hero IIIemitted only monaural audio. Nevermind the Dobly Pro Logic logo on the box; the audio output from the game is the same coming out of each speaker, no matter how many speakers are switched on. Destructoid’s staff debated on whether we should run the story or not, and eventually we decided to leave it alone....
