Getting the thread ready and warmed up for Monday...expect some not-so-live blogging of press conferences to ensue...and for Don Mattrick to get punched in the face...

Hoping to hear more about the new Nintendo console.

The one silver lining to G4 being removed from Directv is that I no longer have to waste 10-15 hours of my life on their half assed E3 coverage. 90% of their coverage is focused on movies, the other 10% is focused on the 4-5 blockbuster games everyone else is already talking about.

I've been reading tweets...sounds like Microsoft had a good showing...about to start watching and doing my recap...expect things...

Opening up with MW3...

LOL...Please Reconnect Controller...so this is a live demo...

Underwater vehicles...this works...flooded tunnel?

Damn...New York done got fucked up...

"In the interest of time..." I'd lol but that's the third straight year we've seen that one...

Seriously, why is there always one guy in the breach situation that thinks he'll be able to charge you with a knife and win?

Ok, I'm pretty psyched for that.

Wait, more MW3?

Now for the "I know you've never played any of our games but please trust we'll do a good job" speech from the Sledgehammer guy...yeah, still not trusting it.

Hey look, it's Don Mattrick...let's all punch him in the face!

games...Kinect...Live..and a better way to enjoy television? O RLY?

Time for the Tomb Raider reboot...hmm...ok guys, sell me...

Ok, let's make a demo that lets us have Lara moan and grunt as much as possible...if I didn't have the video up I'd swear she was taking it in the exit lane...

Is she always going to talk to herself this much?

So far it's a game about lighting torches, apparently...meh...

Looks pretty but I'm not really excited about this one...

Peter Moore!!! Fuck yes, this guy is great!

Tiger Woods, Madden, FIFA and another game to use Kinect...hmm...

Mass Effect 3 time...

IMU, it was a demo where she jumped and lit torches...nothing was going on...you gtfo.

Voice commands to use the dialogue choices...uh...well, I guess that's how you use Kinect in a triple A title...

Oh, ok, using it to direct teammates...better...

Well, that was underwhelming...

Tom Clancy...Ghost Recon Future Soldier...

...that was a lot of people dying...

hopefully Ubisoft doesn't fuck up this presser like they did their own last year...

Gunsmith lets you modify weapons...they totally should have hired Mack to present this...

So far we've got talking to characters, directing teammates, and building weapons...YAY CONTROLLER FREE GAMING!!!

Oh it would appear I spoke too soon...he just shot controller free...ok, this is promising...

Time for Marc Whitten...I don't have a desire to punch him in the face...yet

I'd rather have the controller, I don't want a workout when i'm playing a FPS

A new Xbox experience...again...uh, ok...

Well this is definately more robust...lots more going on than with the Kinect hub now...

Increasing the number of partners by a factor of 10...Microsoft is whoring itself out...lol

YouTube...ok, lets see it, because PS3 has youtube and that's an abomination...

"Xbox bing"...more like Xbox meh.

Wow there are a lot of fucking Lego games...

"Xbox Live TV"...IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME!

Launching this fall...bring it the fuck on...

Dana White...well, I needed to take a piss so now is as good a time as any...I keed I keed...

UFC on Xbox Live...this really doesn't do anything for me but whatever...

Uh...ok..

Hey, it's Phil Spencer...I think I want to punch him in the face, but I'll wait until he finishes...

games games games...thanks Phil, I no longer want to punch you in the face...exclusives...

Gears of War 3...why do I have a feeling someone else I want to punch in the face is going to jump up on stage?

Hey Cliffy B got the rapper friend tickat...

Iced T gonna play some gears with Cliff...ok...just play the game guys...

Oh wow...what the fuck is that thing?

Oh, ok, it's the Leviathon from the second game all infected...got it...

LOL...did they just drop a bunch of tickers on it? ROFLMAO!!!

Body Count doing a song for Horde Mode...oh, that doesn't scream of being forced...

Time for Crytek.

Nothing says massive AAA title like a dog sniffing around...

...first person swordplay...

RYSE...

Jeff Steitzer? Huh?

Oh Halo CE done and got itself all pretty...and a slower framerate, apparently...meh

Halo: CE Anniversery...November 15...

Ok, enough of that...time for Forza 4...

This thread makes no sense to me.... I'm cold and wolves are after me.

Kinect Headtracking...hmmm....

I really do wish I still enjoyed racing games as much as I used to...

Hey look, it's Peter Molyneux...TIME FOR THE GREATEST GAME EVER...AGAIN...

Fable: The Journey...so apparently we are giving them names now?

I just remembered that I haven't touched my copy of Fable 3...lol...

First person...horse driving...yes, this is totally why I bought a Kinect...

So it's an on-the-rails spell casting game? Dude, Lionhead just made Area 51...ugh...

Yeah, you are supposed to applaud now...I know, it doesn't feel right...

Phil Spencer again...

Minecraft is coming to the 360 with Kinect...ok, I've heard good things...looking forward to this...

Kinect Disneyland Adventures...fucking really? REALLY?!?!?

At least tell me assaulting the mascots will be an option...

Oh this shit is going to make me vomit...

"THIS IS SOOOO COOL!!!"

Bad acting makes me sad...bad child acting makes me angry...I'm sad and angry right now...

Exclusively for Kinect...well, you think Phil? Sony sure as hell doesn't want this shit!

Kinect Star Wars...and a massive applause erupts!!!

LOL Force Fail! Ok, second time was better.

Yeah, a video game where you control the lightsabre doesn't look nearly as good as the movies...

Turrible...

I feel like I'm being a curmuddgeon...a year ago I probaly would have thought this shit was cool...but meh, I'm really not impressed...

Now it's time for TIm Shaeffer to tell us about the next great game that no one will buy but the journalists will tell us that everyone should have...

Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster...



I hate foreshadowing...

I have no idea what's going on here...

And Tim is telling a story about his daughter...because, well, that makes for a good E3 press conference...

Hey, it's Kudo! Fuck punching him in the face, I want to kick him in the balls...

Kinect Fun Labs...

Time to create an avatar that looks just like you...hmm, can I make my avatar pantsless?

3D drawing with fingertracking..uh...uh...why?

How many studio heads does Good Science have? Good lord, this is the third one...

Now that I think of it, I'm pretty sure we saw all this stuff a few years ago in the reveal demo for "Natal"...meh...

Live today...ok, I'm gonna check this out afterwards to see how much it sucks for myself!

Kinect Sports: Season Two...

Wait...Kinect Sports is the top selling franchise on Kinect?!?! More people chose this shit over Dance Central?!?!?! What the fuck is wrong with people?

Oh wow...football...these guys are a couple of douchers...

Ok, Harmonix time...

Dance Central 2...voice control...career mode...games from the first one import...

Simultaneous multiplayer dancing...huh...I need friends...

Don Mattrick again...tempt me fucker, tempt me...

"Better with Kinect"

That's debatable...

A new trilogy?

Halo 4...yup, I definately am going to punch you in the face Don!

This sucked...this really sucked...there's no way around it...not quite to the level of Ubisoft's 2010 presser suck, but suck nonetheless...

Christ, Lipid...you make it sound like they brought a bunch of puppies on stage and lit them on fire while kicking them or something...it's just a game, dude.
