The Non-Spoiler E3 Conference Stream Links and Such.
In this thread, I will make the first posts be only about one company. Everything will be set up in any way possible where I can link you to a replay on Youtube or a Live stream without spoiling where possible. Just like how Macrumors has it's spoiler-free news article for Apple keynotes.
Note: This is not to prevent people from hearing news. This is so people that can't watch them live can watch them on their own time without knowing what is coming up. Thank you.

Okay, because I guess the OP is kind of ambiguous, here is what "spoiler-free" means in this context.
Fyre is keeping the OP links to the streams and stuff clean, so you can watch them if you want to without having them spoiled. I don't know what kind of person gets angry about having a keynote "spoiled" for them but whatever floats your boat.
You can post anything in this thread about the keynotes or other E3 news/announcements.
You do not have to use spoiler tags
As mentioned earlier, don't make joke announcements because it's fucking stupid

Might be worth posting the Conference times in the OP along with the links?
They reduced the size of it by lots.
It wasn't killed, just restructured. It's a lot smaller now. There is no big showroom where hundreds or thousands of people are crowding the place. You'll have the conferences and the showings of games are more private now, such as in hotels.
I think he means don't spoil what's announced/said at the conferences before people have a chance to see the stream themselves?
I too am curious has to how one would spoil E3.
The whole point of the thing to preview stuff, last I checked.
So people who can't be home at the time can watch the keynotes without knowing what's coming up.
In other words, my posts at the start won't reveal anything. I'll do the grunt work of getting past all the big reveal stories on the websites and linking directly to their replay/live streams. People like doing this for the WWDC and Apple keynotes so I thought I'd try to do this and see how it goes.
Because there's no way in hell one thread is going to work for all 3 conferences.
Well even those are flawed these days. You get confusing of chains of spoiler tags and people end up not even referencing which line of spoilers they're continuing and then you open the wrong spoilers and Argh!
Yeah someone might accidentally get the announcement of a new game spoiled, what a shame. Their day will be ruined!
I know I'd be pissed if, say, DICE announced Battlefield 3 before I was ready for them to announce it! Curses!
Maybe an irc channel too.
Also G4 is promising commercial free again this year, even though last year they blew it.
Enjoy it in any case.
Anything going on tomorrow or on the 16th regarding E3, or are Tuesday and Wednesday it?
Edit - FUCK my brain, I need to sleep.
Last year was tame, nothing really big was announced.
2006 had a fuck ton of stuff though, Sony's meltdown, surprise Brawl tailer with Snakeoo, MGS4 sneak peak, etc, etc.
E3 can be amazing.
I guess seeing that particular sony presenation live would have been pretty awesome.
06 was great all around.
I have the week off this week, unintentionally, so I'll watch on G4 and keep a stable stream open while talking to you guys.
I really don't know how you can spoiler a keynote.
I mean, I'm clueless and seriously asking. Are we not allowed to discuss stuff in this thread or something? Strictly a news thread? What?
I'll try to provide summaries myself, with video links of chunks if internet people are kind enough to post fragments to youtube.
Watching Reggie, Iwata and Miyamoto playing tennis was way up there.
More wallet jokes this year during the charts and graphs presentation?
Most of the major vidjagame sites will have live blogging and streams. 1up, Gamespot, IGN, et all.
Basically you open one or a bunch and keep the best one.
Plus you get to spam stuff like IWATA, DROP THE BOMB!
Or MASSIVE DAMAGE.
or RIIIIIIIIDGE RACER!
or Iwata took a bow!
Honestly I don't really care if nothing great is introduced, I like the party.
Oh ok, cool. Thanks.
Honestly the main thing I'm hoping to hear out of E3 is an announcement for Suikoden 6. Like, mentioning that it will actually exist for starters.
