| Live Show: More Ratchet & Clank on Backlog! Posted: 31 May 2011 03:00 PM PDT Join me as we delve into my collection of unfinished games where we're playing Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time. Last night, Ratchet came to the discovery that anybody who watched television a month before the release of the game has already made. Indeed, he's not the last Lombax. Revelation! What other mysteries will be uncovered? Find out by watching Backlog right now. I'm playing live and hanging out with the goons in our chat room over on Destructoid's Justin.tv channel!

| Q-Games is bringing three titles to E3 2011 Posted: 31 May 2011 02:00 PM PDT Finally! E3 will be when we figure out just what the heck PixelJunk Lifelike is all about. The teaser sure was weird and all, but that dates back to September. Guess Q-Games founder Dylan Cuthbert wasn't lying when he said we'd get "No more info until it's done." Cuthbert also wasn't lying when he tweeted about the studio's E3 line-up earlier today. In addition to Lifelike, you can expect to hear about two unannounced projects at the show next week. With such a proven track record, it's hard not to anticipate. | ||||||||
| Mad Catz forms flight simulator MMO development studio Posted: 31 May 2011 01:30 PM PDT Wait what? You read that correctly, Mad Catz -- grown into the biggest peripheral maker in recent years -- has announced the formation of ThunderHawk Studios, a studio focused on developing a series of MMO flight simulator games to be published by Mad Catz. The first game is expected to launch in 2012. Flight simulators are one of the most peripheral-intensive genres out there, especially now that the music game genre has lost the Guitar Hero and DJ Hero franchises. And there's not much point in a Dance Central peripheral, is there? So it makes perfect sense for them to get into flight simulators and popularize the genre to sell more joysticks, although the announcement of a development studio comes as a surprise. Mad Catz also owns Saitek, considered by many to be the creators of some of the finest joysticks out there. At least, back in the late '90s when I still kept track of them. Maybe they can fill the void left by the popular era of Jane's combat flight sims, F-22: Air Dominance Fighter, F-22: Total Air War, Falcon 4.0, X-Wing Alliance and Freespace 2? Good luck to them if their first game is a World World II game that has to compete with the IL-2 Sturmovic series or Cliffs of Dover though. Pssst ThunderHawk Studios, we could use a new F29 Retaliator. Zulu Alert! And set it in space while you're at it. Pretty please? | ||||||||
| Ex-Black Rock Studios pair form Roundcube Entertainment Posted: 31 May 2011 01:00 PM PDT The layoffs at Split/Second developer Black Rock Studios were unfortunate, but from the sad news comes a bright spot in the form of Roundcube Entertainment. It's the new company formed by studio head Nick Baynes and development director Ian Monaghan. Previously, Baynes served as the game director of Split/Second and Monaghan was the senior producer at Black Rock. Love the name. I'm expecting good things to come.

| Public Access Destructoid rolls deep with Derby Girls Posted: 31 May 2011 12:00 PM PDT
I sure do love rolling, and these roller girls really know how to jam! After playing Jam City Roller Girls on the Wii I was so taken back by their graceful moves that I decide to pay a visit to a local Roller Derby Show. You know, to see if I had what it takes to be one of them. With a shriner hat in hand, Frozen Codebase vice president Norb Rozek showed me the basics. However, a pesky little ginger named Pico tries to get in my way of achieving one of my life's goals ... to become a roller derby girl. | ||||||||
| Live show: Mash Tactics plays Hunted Posted: 31 May 2011 11:00 AM PDT Eek! That cat is in serious mode. Anyway, today on Mash Tactics we will be playing Hunted: The Demon's Forge. I first got my hands on this dark fantasy co-op game during PAX 2010. Jim Sterling and I share the fond memory of me completely failing as he carried the whole demo. At least that's the way I remember it. I honestly hope he has no recollection...

| Unicorns for all in Red Faction: Armageddon Posted: 31 May 2011 10:20 AM PDT
With Red Faction: Armageddon out next Tuesday, I was starting to worry about our collective initiative to download the game's demo one million times. The prize is more than worth it. THQ says Mr. Toots will be unlocked upon completion of the single-player campaign, which shouldn't be too tough. That's a hell of a lot easier than earning the ostrich weapon in Red Faction: Guerrilla's multiplayer, anyway. Did anyone earn it? Look for Nick's review of Armageddon soon. | ||||||||
| A sample 3D screenshot for Bit.Trip Saga Posted: 31 May 2011 09:40 AM PDT Gaijin Games is at the top of my "do-want 3DS games" list with Bit.Trip Saga. The series was remarkably fun on Wii, again on PC, and should continue to be a joy in handheld form. It's almost too perfect a fit for the 3DS, which is why I'm so eager here. Game Informer has some screenshots of the compilation, including one MPO file. You can load this up on your system to see what Bit.Trip Saga looks like with extra depth. I have a feeling these titles are going to be otherworldly in motion. First Bit Trip Saga Screens, Box Art, And Special Surprise [Game Informer -- Thanks, Andreas] | ||||||||
| Adorable (and adoptable!) puppies make our E3 predictions Posted: 31 May 2011 09:00 AM PDT Doing this year’s E3 predictions post was tough. I didn't want to duplicate the same ideas I did in years past, but I knew it would be challenging to top the fun and mysterious energy of going to a psychic in 2009, and damn near-impossible to top the sheer epic awesomeness of having exclusive access to the animals of the L.A. Zoo in 2010. So this year I decided to do something that could potentially give back. With the help of the extraordinary people at the Burbank Animal Shelter, I decided to visit one of the most celebrated shelters in Los Angeles and have all the puppies (and a few other surprise animals!) make our E3 2011 predictions. Equipped with a +7 love of dogs and all the incredible questions you, the community, provided, I went into the animal shelter with two goals: To make predictions proving that anyone (even cute puppies!) can make just as accurate E3 predictions as the highly-paid industry analysts, and, most importantly, to try to get as many of these animals adopted as possible. I knew this would be a fun, heartfelt experiment ... but I had no idea it would kind of change my life. Before we get to the predictions, a little background on how all of this worked. Similar to last year’s post at the L.A. Zoo, I went into the Burbank Animal Shelter to get the predictions for two main things: 1) The community yes/no questions and 2) the “winner” of the press conferences. A few weeks back, you all lovingly and wonderfully provided a gigantic list of yes/no questions about things you want to know about this year’s E3. Using these questions, I entered the shelter and used different techniques with the animals to see how they would answer a handful of those questions. For example: if a dog licked my hand or face after I asked a question, that was a yes! If the dog turned away the answer was no. Similarly, if a dog barked or got excited after I read a question, that was a yes! If he didn’t do anything at all? Yup! That’s a no. In addition to answering the questions, I wanted each animal to make a prediction about which of the big three companies (Microsoft, Nintendo, or Sony) would “win” the E3 press conferences. To do this, I actually let all the animals play with actual Xbox 360, Wii, and PlayStation 3 controllers, noting which controller they played with the most. Each controller represented the company the animal predicted would “win” the press conferences! If an animal drooled on an Xbox 360 controller, for instance, their "winner" pick was Microsoft! Since the premise was very similar to what I did with the L.A. Zoo predictions from last year, I wanted to do something different to make this year stand out. That’s why I chose the Burbank Animal Shelter. After last year’s zoo post, there were people that jokingly said how much they would love to take home one of the animals that made a prediction they loved. While taking home a giant hippo, while awesome, would be pretty much impossible, the idea of taking home an animal in need from a shelter is not only realistic, it is very much possible! So that was my motivation. If even one of these fine, loving animals gets adopted because of this prediction post, I will be the happiest person on the planet. With all that being said, let’s get to the predictions ... and this wonderful, magical, absolutely incredible experience I got to take part in. The Burbank Animal Shelter is a small, yet active facility in a very unassuming part of Burbank -- just a mile down the road from some major movie studios! When I pulled up with notebook and camera in hand I was pleasantly surprised by how warm and inviting the entire building felt. Most animal shelters intimidate me with their industrial ceilings and concrete floors, but the Burbank Animal Shelter had the vibe of a school, with hand-painted artwork and colorful walls around every corner. As I entered, I was greeted by a woman that would be my guide through this entire experience. Take a look a this picture. This is a picture of one of the most kind, caring, and warm-hearted people on the planet. This is Denise Fleck, President of the Volunteers of the Burbank Animal Shelter (VBAS). After introducing ourselves, she immediately brought me back to see all the animals. I was excited, but nervous, as I had no idea how I would feel after interacting with all these adorable creatures. As I stepped into the back area with all the animals, my heart overflowed with feelings of love, excitement, compassion, and the need to drive home with about fifty new members of my family. But I held back -- I am a professional videogame writer, dammit! -- and headed to the area where the predictions would be made. So here we go! The results of my experiment! I present to you Destructoid’s E3 2011 predictions … as made by a bunch of adorable (and adoptable!) animals at the Burbank Animal Shelter. First up was Baby, a five-year-old female American Staff mix. She was as cute as she was energetic, and unbelievably friendly. It was easy to tell she was a happy dog, as her face was permanently plastered with one of the biggest dog smiles I have ever seen. manasteel88 asks: Will Kevin Butler be at Sony press conference this year? SuperMonk4Ever asks: Will Star Wars: The Force Unleashed III be announced? CorruptAI125 asks: Will there be a new Silent Hill: Downpour trailer with actual gameplay? Wolfy-Boey asks: Will The Last Story finally get announced for U.S. and PAL territories? Nic128 asks: Will The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword be delayed and released on Nintendo’s next generation console? When I first met Lady, all I could think about was “Lady” from Game of Thrones. And this made me cry. And cry. And then cry a little bit more. At first I couldn’t decide if I was crying because of the emotions of the day, or because I was just an extra sappy guy with a serious, unhealthy obsession with Game of Thrones. While the day was refreshingly emotional, it was definitely the latter. Danzflor asks: Beyond Good & Evil 2? ManWithNoName asks: Will there be a reveal of Persona 5? SuperMonk4Ever asks: Will a new Prince of Persia be announced? Scissors asks: Will Valkyria Chronicles 3 be announced for North America? CoruptAI125 asks: Will the NGP cost more than 400 dollars?
The Situation, a beautiful and rare-for-a-shelter Doberman Pinscher, is not just named after the popular Jersey Shore character of the same name (although that is where his name originally came from). You see, The Situation was brought to the Burbank Animal Shelter after his owner moved, and to quote Denise Fleck, this caused quite “the situation” for him. rexwolf2 asks: Will The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword meet it's expected 2011 release date? crackity jones asks: Will The Last Guardian release this year? SilverDragon1979 asks: Will Sony announce the PlayStation 4? SteezyXL asks: that1dood asks: Will we see Final Fantasy VII HD announced? Like most shelters in Los Angeles, the Burbank Animal Shelter has a good number of Pit Bull mixes. Either because people are scared of them (given their unfair reputation) or because Pit Bulls are still one of the most bred animals in the area, many Pit Bull puppies are left at shelters all across the city. But if sweet Devon is any indication, people have nothing (and I mean nothing!) to be scared of. Devon was one of the sweetest dogs I got to meet at the shelter. Lenigod asks: Will we see L.A. Noire tech in the next Grand Theft Auto game? VGFreak1225 asks: Sly Cooper 4? Morty asks: Will there be news about TimeSplitters 4? Hohojirozame asks: Will there be any new and exciting AR card "gaming" for the 3DS? bbain asks: Will Fez be released for PSN? On the days I visited the shelter to research this article, I had a special bond with Andre. The Pit mix was so gentle and warm with me, that it took everything I had not to just adopt him on the spot. There was just something about those perfect eyes that said so much. Every time Andre looked at me my heart smiled a little. Ali D asks: Will there be a new game announcement from Rockstar? Knivy asks: Will Diablo III release this year? jjjenigma asks: Will Double Fine's Sesame Street game make the Kinect a must-have peripheral? LK4O4 asks: Will Prope announce a U.S. release for Rodea the Sky Soldier? LazyEyelids asks: Will there be a new Onimusha?
Okay, get ready for the cutest story you will hear all day. Peaches & Cream -- a terrier mix and chihuahua, respectively -- were actually found as strays wandering the streets. Sad story, of course, but get this: They were found together. Despite the fact that there is still no explanation as to why two completely different breeds were found wandering the streets of Los Angeles together, Peaches and Cream are the best of friends and are inseparable in the shelter. I can only imagine Peaches or Cream would be so happy for each other if one of them got adopted, but I can’t imagine them ever being apart. Their story is too sweet and amazing to think about separating them. These two adorable, wonderful dogs would make perfect partners in someone’s loving home. Time Glitch asks: Is the Halo remake real? CelicaCrazed asks: Will we finally get a new Jet Grind Radio? Sir Legendhead asks: Will there ever be a true sequel to Hulk: Ultimate Destruction? ZombiePlatypus asks: Will we see anything from Doom 4? Kylehyde asks: Will there be some more news about Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney? In addition to dogs, there is a huge selection of cats at the Burbank Animal Shelter. I assumed there would be going in, but I was surprised to see the amount of sweet cats (AND MY GOD KITTENS!) that were lovingly wandering around the nice size “cat area” of the shelter. Here are few cat predictions for all you cat lovers out there! Patience is a stray cat that was picked up and brought to the shelter a couple of months ago. While she was a little scared of me and my camera at first, she quickly warmed up and rubbed her cute face against my hand as often as she could. So that is how I made the predictions! A gentle rub was a yes and a sassy look was a no. Projectexodus asks: Will we see the announcement of Grand Theft Auto V? smurfee mcgee asks: Will Pikmin 3 be at E3? CoruptAI125 asks: Will we see Metal Gear Rising at Microsoft's press conference? Wolfy-Boey asks: Will Naughty Dog go back to the Jak and Daxter Series? Lord Death of Murder Mountain asks: Will there be a Mirror's Edge 2?
Beverly is a new mom who just gave birth to some kittens at the shelter. It was very hard for me to take a picture of the kittens because they were running around and playing so much … but also because I kept “ooooohing” and “ahhhhhing” over them and it was tough for me to hold the camera still. Here is the best picture I took: Seriously, I WANT ALL OF THESE KITTENS! SuperMonk4Ever asks: Will the sequel to Darksiders be unveiled? Scissors asks: Will Double Fine talk about the Psychonauts 2? rexwolf2 asks: Will Chad meet Miyamoto? crackity jones asks: Will we get Metal Arms 2 due to Jim Sterling's recent article? SilverDragon1979 asks: Will a StarTropics sequel be announced for the 3DS?
Ryan is one of the older cats in the shelter, but also one of the sweetest. And while he is only ten-years-old, he has been a guest on Access Hollywood many times, which is much more than I have accomplished in my … er … more-than-ten-years on this planet. Now welcome to Internet fame, Ryan! Blindfire asks: Will we see Torchlight 2? Lenigod asks: Will we get any new information on StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm? Hohojirozame asks: Will we be able to battle Pokemon using AR cards? Elsa asks: Will Sony announce cross-game voice chat? Handy asks: Will we get any info on El Shaddai?
Okay, now back to the dogs. And just because the cats were only featured in the “Kitty Half-time Show” of this article, it doesn’t mean they any less important or worthy of an amazing home. In fact, all the cats (AND OMG KITTENS!) were as sweet as can be. By all means, go out and adopt a cat today. Seriously, right now. HURRY! THE CATS ARE WAITING! When I first approached Babino, his size and serious stare intimidated me a little bit. (He is a large Border Collie and Doberman mix.) But, man, he couldn’t have been a nicer pup. Like a few of the other dogs in the kennel, Babino stood tall and tough … but his wildly wagging tail completely gave him away and revealed him to be the big, cute lummox that he is. Knivy asks: Will Sony switch to Steam as their online delivery system? that1dood asks: Will we get to see more of the gorgeous indie mech game Hawken? jjjenigma asks: Will we see some new 2D Castlevania games? CelicaCrazed asks: Will we see Burnout: Crash City? Kylehyde asks: Will we see a 2D Metroid for the 3DS?
There are some animals in the Burbank Animal Shelter that don’t have names yet, usually because they are brand new to the shelter. While this made it tough to talk to them, it did allow me the opportunity to give them temporary names, which I gladly did by naming them after some of my favorite videogame characters. Once of my favorite “nameless” animals of the day was Dr. Yang, a ridiculously cute pup that kept flinging around a chew toy every time I asked him some questions. Seriously, look at that face. HE IS SO DR. YANG! Projectexodus asks: Will there be an announcement of a Metal Gear Solid HD collection? CoruptAI125 asks: Will there be a Final Fantasy XIII Versus gameplay trailer? ChillyBilly asks: Will Project Cafe have cross-game chat similar to Xbox Live? that1dood asks: Will Project Cafe be the first Nintendo console to break the $250 barrier at launch? SuperMonk4Ever asks: Will the Simpsons arcade game be ported to PSN/Xbox Live Arcade?
Scarlett is the dog with me in the header pic, and, as you can see, right before the picture was taken, the precious three-year-old Border Collie licked the side of my face. Yup, a big ol’ slobbering kiss right up next to my ear. My heart almost exploded. I am this close to going back and adopting her. But if you want to do it, please, feel free. I just might have to visit you from time to time. We can play videogames and pet Scarlett! It will be fun! Scissors asks: Will Retro Studios make the next Star Fox game? that1dood asks: Will we see Half-Life 3? Kylehyde asks: Will a new Advance Wars be announced for the 3DS? Projectexodus asks: Will The Last Story get a western release date? SuperMonk4Ever asks: Will we hear more about Alan Wake?
Another “nameless” animal, I decided to call this noble and strong German Shepherd “Sabin” because he just reminded me of the brave, somewhat mischievous hero from (best RPG ever!) Final Fantasy VI. Also, I think he may or may not have tried to hit me with an adorable Blitz attack when I was leaning over to pet him. SuperMonk4Ever asks: Will we see some more new characters for Mortal Kombat? bbain asks: Will Mother 3 ever be released in the U.S.? Projectexodus asks: Will Nintendo show anything F-Zero-related for Project Cafe? ZombiePlatypus asks: Will Square-Enix announce a sequel to Super Mario RPG? crackity jones asks: Will PSN be up and running during E3?
Okay, this is when everything got real. After interacting with all the dogs and cats, I had already been on a pretty emotional roller coaster -- seeing the animals was wonderful, but also a little sad knowing that I had to eventually say goodbye. But, all in all, I was so grateful to be at the shelter that the happy far outweighed the sad. Then I met Kate. When Denise brought Kate out so I could play with her I instantly fell in love. Those big, beautiful eyes! Those droopy jowls! And then it happened. In the middle of talking with Kate, I asked a question and she slowly walked over to me and sat in my lap. And not just an accidental “oh, I am going to sit right here and it just so happens to be by your lap” kind of sit. No. She plopped down on my legs and snuggled up against my body. And then she looked up at me with one of the most loving and motherly looks I have ever seen. I will never forget that look for the rest of my life. Wolfy-Boey asks: Dark Cloud 3? ManWithNoName asks: Will Sony’s new handheld be officially named NGP? garethxxgod asks: Will we get Star Wars: Battlefront III? Scissors asks: Will they announce Klonoa 3DS? VGFreak1225 asks: Will Microsoft announce the new Xbox?
So, there you go! What do you think? Do you think the cats and dogs of the Burbank Animal Shelter made accurate predictions? Which animals are your favorites? And what are you the most excited about at next week’s E3? Sound off in the comments! And make sure to check back a week after E3 for the official results! Which animals got the most right? Are cats and dogs more accurate than industry analysts? (They are easily more adorable.) As I mentioned before, this entire experience was absolutely life-changing, Working and interacting with these brave, loving, genuinely happy animals was one of the best experiences of my entire life. If you fell in love with any of them, check out the Burbank Animal Shelter website for information on how you can adopt all of these amazing creatures. You could take home any of the animals in this article. IT COULD ACTUALLY HAPPEN! And if you don’t live anywhere near Burbank -- or California, for that matter! -- no worries! Just contact your local shelter and -- if they are anything like Denise Fleck and the incredible staff of the Burbank Animal Shelter -- you will be invited to visit with open arms. And who knows? You may just leave with a new best friend. | ||||||||
| PAX Prime 2011 officially sold out Posted: 31 May 2011 08:40 AM PDT As if we had any doubts over the growing popularity of PAX -- last year felt pretty packed -- it was revealed that the passes for PAX Prime 2011 are completely sold out. Everything's gone -- one-day passes, weekend-long badges, etc. That's not to say you couldn't roll up to Seattle in late August and score yourself a badge for a premium, though. Or merely enjoy what the city has to offer from outside of the convention center, for that matter. See you then, hopefully! [Image] | ||||||||
| More Aliens: Colonial Marines weirdness before E3 Posted: 31 May 2011 08:00 AM PDT The Electronic Entertainment Expo is but one week away, and SEGA has not let up on the Aliens-themed teases. Last time, we got a doll head courtesy of Aliens character Rebecca Jorden. This time, Carter Burke -- which fans will remember as the slimy Weyland-Yutani corporate villain -- sent something along. It's a big art print of a spacecraft, which appears to be the USS Sulaco -- the ship responsible for bringing the Marines to LV-426. For those not in the know, that's where the Xenomorphs wiped out a colony. Colonial Marines looks set for a sexy reveal at E3, and I really cannot wait. It's going to blow my little cherry tomato balls! | ||||||||
| F.E.A.R 3 Soul Survivor mode is a thing in a game Posted: 31 May 2011 07:20 AM PDT I can't say multiplayer in the F.E.A.R series has ever grabbed my attention, but it seems Monolith is going all out with F.E.A.R 3. The "F*cking Run" mode already has be intrigued, and now we've got the treacherous elimination mode, Soul Survivor. The game starts with one versus three, as a single player tries to corrupt an enemy squad and turn them into specters. Should he succeed, the match becomes two on two, and then three on one. Pretty simple stuff, though four players seems a little low for such a gametype. In any case, I'm glad to see Monolith trying to step away from the same old boring multiplayer and try to stand out more. That's multiplayer I can respect. | ||||||||
| Bloggers Wanted: E3 Approaches Posted: 31 May 2011 07:00 AM PDT [When we're looking for blogs on a specific topic, we'll put out a Bloggers Wanted call. Check out the blog prompt, write your own response in the Community Blogs and tag it with the "Bloggers Wanted Essay Response" tag, and you may see your blog promoted to the front page.] E3 is just a week away, and so far we haven't gotten many leaks about what's going to be shown at this year's conference. Everyone has their own idea, though, of what will make a successful E3, and I want you to share yours with us in the C Blogs. Got some E3 predictions? A wishlist? A guess as to who will "win" E3 this year? Suggestions for a better conference? Write it down, and share it with the rest of the community! I'll be promoting well-written and insightful blogs daily up until the conference opens next Tuesday. If you want to participate, just write a C Blog and title it "E3 Approaches: [Your Blog's Title]". If you're not up for a full-blown blog, but still have some thoughts, feel free to share them here in the comments as well. | ||||||||
| Free App of the Day: Plants vs. Zombies (Android) Posted: 31 May 2011 06:20 AM PDT It's always nice when a high profile game gets featured in FAotD, and they don't come much higher than this. Plants vs. Zombies is free today on Android devices, although there are some conditions -- it's only free through the Amazon App Store and we're hearing that it's a North American offer only. If you can meet the two conditions, however, the downloading of this game is a no-brainer. There's very little that needs to be said about PvZ outside of what's already been said. In fact, I don't need to keep typing anymore. Just go get it if you can. [Found a free App for iOS or Android? Think it's good? Hit up Jim Sterling or Maurice Tan and let 'em know. Please do so -- finding good free games is hard!] | ||||||||
| Mortal Kombat DLC, Skarlet, sticks a knife in your ear Posted: 31 May 2011 06:00 AM PDT
In addition to the "Klassic" skins and fatality pack already announced for Mortal Kombat, a brand new character will be unleashed as downloadable content soon: Skarlet. | ||||||||
| Rumor: Devil May Cry HD Collection slated for E3 reveal Posted: 31 May 2011 05:40 AM PDT According to the latest E3 gossip, Devil May Cry is the next series to get a new lick of paint with an HD Collection. Capcom is supposedly gearing up the original PS2 games to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Dante's exploits. If this is a real thing, then we'll see it next week. If it's not, we won't. Pretty simple. There's another HD Collection supposedly in the works as well, but there are no details as to what the series is. All that's said is that it's a "Dark, dirty and dangerous collection." Enjoy your damn rumors. | ||||||||
| Get in shape with game-like Fitocracy Posted: 31 May 2011 05:20 AM PDT [Update: The beta invite link now works. Get to it!] We can't all be as motivated as Electric Hydra host (and former full-time Destructoid writer) Brad Nicholson. He manages to balance his gaming hobby (and job) by keeping fit and going to the gym upwards of three times a day. Who does that guy think he is? |
