My suggestions to keep things speedy:
- No gigantic GIF posting inline; please link
- No Youtube embedding (save that for the specific game threads)
I will attempt to transcribe the keynote into the IRC room as usual, but as usual if you want to do so yourself you are welcome to attempt it.
After each conference concludes, a forumer will make a thread to discuss that particular company's conference so we can discuss the next one without discussion overlap.

I was planning to make the Konami one, but it turns out I'll be having dinner with friends at that time, so I probably won't be able to watch it live.
Also, you can't have a Konami Conference thread and not have this in the OP:

I am so excited for this. It's a happier time of the year than Christmas for me.

But yeah, Wulff is right on the money; we usually have a live-discussion thread, and then threads for each one to discuss the megatons that were dropped.
Edit - Debating on the Konami one.
BERY EXCITE.

I want to place bets on what the ultimate "shocker" will be. Last time it was Other: M, the time before that FFXIII on the Xbox 360.
I would wager that the biggest shocker this year will once again be Nintendo related, or possibly by Konami or Square, but with an opposite reaction as a result (as in "what in the fuck are they doing???").

Other M's surprise announcement was 2009 wasn't it?
Honestly, the only real shocker out of 2010 was Steam on PS3, and it wasn't even that meaty of a shocker.
Well seeing as Nintendo gets to go last, and they are unveiling their new console, I'd wager they will have the biggest "shocker." And it will most definitely be in a "what the fuck are they doing??" sort of way, because that's how they roll.
I'm gonna be sad if we don't get something as ridiculous as the kinect cult from last year
<silence>
WOOOOOOOW
<the crowd sheepishly starts clapping>
With no Cirque du Soleil this year, I'm counting on Konami for my blue ponchos.

It's funny in hindsight how the Other M revelation literally brought the channel together, considering the reception afterward....

And if it does, FFXIII-2 better be damn sure it's presentable.

Was a pretty good surprise though, considering how much Gaben was shitting on the PS3 not to long before then.

It was the last conference last year
Sony could honestly have the best show this year, depending on how much they're fueled by damage control. For me, the two biggest things they could announce is a revamped PSN service that finally includes party chat and the other shit they should have implemented by now....and that game that ends with a roman numeral. The one with the guy with the sword.
Nintendo is going to be the most popular showing no matter what, but all I really want is technical specs of their system (HDMI, you assholes, don't go cheap on this!) and a technical demo of all their major franchises running on Cafe hardware. A proof-of-concept HD Zelda is good enough for me this year.

Interesting. And does Konami have a penchant for making worthwhile announcements at their presser? You know, other than all the terrible ones.

1. Castlevania LoS sequel
2. Metal Gear Peace Walker Remastered
3. Metal Gear HD Collection
4. Footage that proves the new Silent Hill won't suck
5. Silent Hill HD Collection and/or Shattered Memories on PS3
6. ZOE 3
7. More MGS Rising Footage

Halo something, Gears 3, Crytech Exclusive, Kinect, Kinect, Kinect
For Castlevania, I'll only forgive them for ONE sequel to LoS. After that, I want them to go back to making other Castlevania games. I didn't like the story for LoS at all. Mostly the ending crap, goddamn.
And ZOE 3, I'll eat my own dick if they so much as mention it.
There is a chance that the conference could be metal, and of course, it will almost certainly involve gears.
So in summary, this is the potential that I forsee
The Konami Conference
I dunno. It's just weird to see Nintendo (supposedly) shifting focus while Sony and Microsoft fight over the last slice of casual cake.
