Gonna dump PR I get in here. Figure others of you will be watching the live feeds and crossposting so I don't have to hunt all that shit down while packing to move right? Right!
Microsoft Conference is in about 5-6 hours.
Sony and Nintendo are tomorrow morning.

Apogee is apparently still alive. I don't know how. But they're making Duke Nukem stuff, so your definition of 'alive' is as good as any.

Oh, right, Too Human demo is on XBL now for a couple days. Maybe Dyack can get back to making games that matter again. Like Eternal Darkness.

If ANYONE didn't think it would be post-apocalyptic Oblivion, they're crazy. I can only hope they figured out a better goddamn leveling scheme.

I am watching the live cast on and off from Kotaku (only place I could connect reliably to since it's straight chat). And it's dreadful. Microsoft opened up saying some shit about new entertainment experiences and then rambled off 3 sequels (F3, RE5, and GoW2). Fail. 10:36
crecente - THe trailer gives you a great look at the harshness and humor of Fallout 3.
10:36
crecente - They're about to demo the game live.
10:36
McWhertor - Oops, controller disconnect!
10:36
McWhertor - Peter Moored! Folks, I give to you, the gaming press. Shoot me now. |

I was desperately hoping it wouldn't be, but I knew it would be. Someone needs to drive a stake through the heart of Bethesda before they get any more franchises I care about. |

Nordom: Sense of closure: imminent.

Funny thing about Fallout 3. I was talking to Killjoy and I said to him "It's going to be Oblivion with post-apocalyptic textures  " and he replied "Yeah, it's going to be Oblivion with post-apocalyptic textures  " ... so, I predict it will sell like ten-dollar pussy and have a similar level of quality. |

Microsoft paid big money for Portal - Still Alive to hit XBLA. Exclusive to the 360. New levels. New Achievements. I can't think of a game I'd want to play less with thumbsticks.

Netflix has teamed up with Microsoft. Let's assume you can attach your gamertag to your netflix account. McWhertor - instantly watch more than 10000 movies and TV episodes
11:23
crecente - Xbox 360 will allow owners to instantly watch the netflix library, at no additional cost
11:23
crecente - I assume he means nothing on top of the cost charged by Netflix Yes it does. 11:24
crecente - They're also going to let you share netflix movies and tv shows with your LIVE PARTY
11:24
crecente - So you can watch tv and movies together Which I think is grouping without gaming. Or someshit. The new XBL blade system was shown. Not a bladesystem. Really the Wii fucked Sony Home and produced this new uninventive abortion. |

I am slightly worried that Shane Kim came up. If RE5 becomes a timed exclusive, I will go apeshit.
* Announced that GTAIV downloadable content coming later this year. Hasn't realized no one gives a fuck anymore.
* Says some shit about a thousand titles. Who cares.
* Banjo footage. Who cares.

Microsoft just announced a Codemasters game. I think people are leaving the conference now. Or rather, they should be ^_^

Has Crescente always been this gay or is it a new development due to his perch atop Douchebag Mountain?

Pretty much always. You can tell by his haircut. They need to bring back Allard. I fucking hate these guys.
Yes. They have made Microsoft COMPLETELY inaccessible. |

So the Wii menu is coming to XBox Live now? Not even. This is worse. The Wii menu is a clusterfuck, for sure. Just all that shit in some random pre-defined order that sits there making annoying sounds. Meanwhile, this is more a veiled attempt at being minimalist like the PS3 XMB and absolutely failing. Fuck, it should've just been lists without pictures. I mean, if they're not gonna try, at least make it accessible. |

Guitar Hero 4 gets Van Halen and The Eagles, exclusively. As in, no Hotel California for you Rock Band. FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (and a working worthwhile guitar) ^_^

My roomie despises Duffy. He put up with her in the G4 stream, it crapped out and he had to switch to the IGN one. It's behind by 4 minutes so he had to endure her twice.  |

Well shit. I'm going to have to buy Rock Band 2 for the System of a Down and Tenacious D songs, and I'm going to have to buy GH 4 for Hotel California and the probably-superior controllers. Where's a merger when you need one?

McWhertor - Wada's English is fantastic Classy. Anyway, I got real angry for a second when Wada took the stage at the end. Doesn't seem like he's announcing anything IMPORTANT. |
