Happy Tuesday! On today's show, we find out that Resident Evil: Revelations is coming to PC and consoles, Ralph Nader called video games "electronic child molesters", Dead Space 3's crafting system is chock full of microtransactions, and sign-ups have now begun for The Elder Scrolls Online! Also, Ni No Kuni comes out in the US today and it's utterly delightful!
Episode 410 of the Destructoid Show:
Bethesda has just let us know that beta signups are happening right now for The Elder Scrolls Online. All you have to do is go to www.ElderScrollsOnline.com, sign up, and you'll have a chance to get in. All of the details like dates and time windows for the beta will be given at a later date. (Chris Carter)
Former politician and consumer advocate Ralph Nader has decided to throw his lot in with the perpetrators of moral panic, writing off videogames as "electronic child molesters." Talk about a socially responsible statement! (Jim Sterling)
Capcom's pretty great 3DS horror spin-off, Resident Evil Revelations, has been confirmed for consoles and computers, following rumors of a potential port job. Slated for release on May 21, Revelations will hit PS3, 360, Wii U, and PC. (Jim Sterling)
If you're a lover of games that require you to put in before you get out, and you recall the glory days of the Eastern RPG, where experience points were the lifeblood and the grind was king, you have literally no decent excuse for not finding a way to play Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. (Jim Sterling)
Dead Space 3 is going to see a fair few changes, boasting a faster pace, cover-based shooting, and a weapon crafting system. While I'm not a big fan of some of the alterations, the one thing I did find praiseworthy was that latter element -- that is, until Visceral revealed the potential reason why it exists. It's another way to push freemium elements into a non-free game. (Jim Sterling)

@Jeremy_LaMont You're confused - we have a "no 'no swears rule' rule." Otherwise known as an "all swears" rule.
