    Wherein we dissect an E3 known more for it's abysmal hosting, stockprice tanking technologies and underwhelming announcements than any great new games or anything interesting...

    I do want a Vita though.

    It really was the only thing that I was impressed by at the whole show. E3 was a very underwhelming event indeed.

    I dug this episode.

    The post-credits bit made me laugh. (And then I thought, "Hold up, don't be dissin' Luigi.")

    Mr. Caffeine reminds me of every bad motivational speaker targeted to people in elementary/high school I've ever had to sit through.

    Oh, and good episode. I wanted a Vita right up until they said "lol at&t exclusive". AT&T is crap where I live.

    The picture they used was actually from the Cirque du Soleil event they were referring to. It was a weird animatronic... thing.

    It was from the Kinect presentation last year. The animatronic elephant is now at Xbox live HQ. I've seen it on a tour! It's really big in person.

    Reference: http://twitpic.com/5bl6a3 - Tally (the girl in the picture) is about 5'6"

    I feel the comic timing and the editing are both much snappier this round. I like that Checkpoint is seeing marked improvements with each episode.

    Still, not as bad as the year before. Remember Laser-tag and that breathing game? o_O :lol:

    All presented by some guy who knew nothing about what he was showing. By Ubi's standards this year was a 200% improvement. :P
