    I sometimes wonder if gabe newell will ever get up on stage and be all "half life 2 episode 3! on steam right now" and everyone pulls out their laptops and oh my god there it is

    but probably not

    they just bring the big red button on stage with them and say 'who ever gets to the stage and hits the button first will be remembered as the guy who launched episode 3'

    and then the entire game press is killed in the massacre

    Unfortunately I lack the funds to go and also the wherewithal to try hard at anything that might get me a job that could send me there

    I love 'surprise' launches

    And I think, given a big enough name, it could work

    We are in a different place now than when sega tried to do it with the Saturn

    that was all physical, and a logical impossibility that left a lot of brick and mortar stores pissed off at them

    but with a big name in the digital space?

    sure why the fuck not

    Just have Gabe Newell walk up on stage, open his laptop, show on the projector he's logging onto Steam, click on Half Life 2 Episode 3 in the store, leave that on-screen and silently walk off.

    I bet Gabe Newell will just go "Hey - Opposing Force 3. We know we didn't do a 2 but we decided to just skip to 3."

    He should actually grab a mic before he goes on stage, but never use it, only for him to drop it at the very end.

    Valve spends the next two years developing a golf game franchise exclusively for Steam, then sends flowers to EA when it outsells the Origin version of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2015.

    "This is Adam Sessler, formally of G4's Xplay.

    The key code to unlock Episode 3 is in his stomach.

    You must find it before his enzymes make it non legible, or the gaming population will be very upset."

    If he didn't say anything in that last episode, I really think he's going to stay silent. At best, he takes someone else's words, plays them back at a proper, maybe ironic time, and slowed down in a most malicious fashion.

    Did not know that song was produced by Daft Punk, but its obvious now.

    Back on topic: is E3 where Nintendo does its big compilation orchestrated concerts? Those are always worth watching.

    I have no idea. There was that fantastic Donkey Kong Country Returns theme, but maybe that wasn't at E3?

    And the Zelda compilation, pretty sure that was before Skyward Sword's and Twilight Princess' announcements?

    Skyward had been announced at the time, and Twilight Princess' announcement was a surprise trailer...

    that orchestra at the conference was for the 25th Anniversary, I think?

    yaya could you indicate somehow that this is an E3 thread

    E3 is something I'm interested in

    elves, erogenous or otherwise, are not

    Also the best, most exciting part of E3 is just horrifyingly bad presentations

    I work nights so I think I'll get to see a lot of those really, truly bad presentations and that makes me happy
