    Does half of E3 seem like one big cocktease to anyone else here? I mean, the shit we want to see is in half assed demos or narrated video and there is no guarantee that the finish product will show up anywhere close to what we are seeing. I mean its great and all that we get to see more of Fallout 3 or Too Human or Gears of war 2 (don't really care about the last one but being nice to folks who do), but all of the stuff is going to be on the web in a matter of days after all this is over.

    The only good thing about E3 is the under the radar indy stuff that is currently being buried under the pantheon of hype for the big games.

    I dunno, maybe I am just bitter that i am working @ 2:30 and miss most of the coverage but at least G4 will show this stuff over and over and over.

    At least they might actually not have commercials during the press conferences like last year. Totally pissed me off since my internet was down for all of E3.

    The people are quizzed on gaming lingo -- "newb," "pwned" and "melee." That last one's a place in Asia, apparently. "RPG?" "Road performance System." Weep for America.

    Yep, looks like I'm sticking with Engadget.
    10:10 am PT: Nearby the entrance, a few cameras are aimed at some whiteboards, with attendees scribbling personalized messages to be transmitted to the central screen. "Wii sucks!" is the best some immature attendee could come up with. We quickly rub it out and draw an enormous and somewhat crooked penis.

    Eh, as long as they do it right and make it worthwile, rather than just glue some bits into a controller and call it "TWELVEVECTORS" or something.

    How long is is. Not how long UNTIL it starts.

    It starts in 3 minutes.

    It lasts 90 minutes.
