Whether you love spiders or not, there's something completely entrancing about watching the little buggers scamper their way across a silky, delicately-constructed web and await their unsuspecting prey. As fascinating as it is to jump directly into the carapace of one of these eight-legged fellows, Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor is as much about the mysteries hidden in the world around you as it is about the life of the lone spider you'll play. Therein resides its beauty.

Podtoid 123 is tonight, ideally the last movie commentary screenshot

_{Podtoid is Destructoid.com's official news and discussion podcast.}

I decided to type "duck motorcycle" into Google image search and I found that picture.

Evidently everyone on the Podtoid cast hates doing the movie commentaries now, so if we actually get around to polishing off Resident Evil we probably won't do any for quite a long time.

Most strategy games take a somewhat streamlined approach to warmongering. But one game has built its reputation on portraying combat in almost microscopic detail: Best Way's Men of War. Jim Rossignol sings the praises of this little-known Ukrainian RTS.
