Mmm, thanks for the Movies shots. I think. I'm trying hard not to get into fanboi mode on another Lionhead title - I've still got scars from Black & White - but the press lately has been casting it in a very kind light. Perhaps that's to be expected about a movie centered around Hollywood.

Now dig up something on Spore. :-D

There were a lot of MMORPGS in Kentia, but they all looked more or less the same, which is to say asstastic.

I did get a chance to play DDO briefly and thought it showed some promise.  More on that tonight, hopefully.

Still haven't seen Spore anywhere.  Planning to go harass some EA guys.

Can you check on how the fucking combat works in Hellgate:London?  Like how it really works not that bullets are like spells but not and "Look over there shiney!"...

blah nice work though Samwise.

I'd like to hear some Vanguard stuff, if any. The whole game, concept and fanbase fascinates me in that same way watching a 450# person devour a chicken can. You're repulsed, but you just  can't look away.

I was far more excited about the demos they had going of The Movies. (image and image). This was the first really good look I'd gotten at the game itself, and I was pleased with the level of control it allowed in the filmmaking process. The dozens of actors you control can be customized more than the central characters in most RPGs, and it looked like you could edit together your movie scene by scene, with each scene having different tunables (such as the Violence Level in a fight scene). At the end, presumably, you have a unique creation. I'm looking forward to this one.

I can't believe this is the first I am hearing of this (or I promptly forgot about it)! I swear to God I discussed something very similar with my buddy like 5 years ago. I feel like Kramer with his 'Beach' cologne! If they do it right, it should be a shitload of fun.

The wayward bat half DESTROYED the screen, and the demo was brought to a hasty conclusion.

I wonder how many dumbasses got fired for that one! God I wish you had video on it.

Last but not least- hot chicks and all, but WTF is up with the footwear? Can they even walk in that silly shit?

Is that where that silly ass trend started?  I've noticed the "chunky" shoe thing going on for a few years now when I hit the mall, but couldn't fathom it.  Now it's all starting to make a bit more sense.

Hey, thanks Blizzard, way to piss money away, putting a Real Doll (TM) in a Starcraft Ghost uniform (or is that a booth babe?) Either way, it's still a fucking waste. Douchebags. Didn't you see that C&C:the FPS didn't do all that well (mainly because it sucked copious amounts of ass)?

I am SO fucking jonesing for the Movies. Same goes for Call of Cthulu.

Quake can lick my knob. Rifts on the N-Gage is a game worth looking forward to, I think. Wow, that dance pad chick had some seriously thick thighs. That laying down in front of the TV thing? How much was that? Because that looks like exactly the kind of setup I need, since I'm so goddamn blind, I can't see the TV well from the couch.

There was an awful lot of ugly booth babes, with lots of cottage cheese. Were the strip clubs all raided out when the devs got there, so they had to go to the local pimps?

Fuck yes. Do not fuck with Cthulu.

Rifts on the N-Gage is a game worth looking forward to, I think.

I haven't played Rifts since hi-skoo, and don't even really remember the gist. But it would be nice to revisit.

That's no impediment to a reporter worth his salt. It just means you need to get the appropriate staff drunk[er] first. Or jump some sucker from Gamespy in the vast, cavernous parking structure of the LA Convention Center for his badge. ;)

Thanks for saving me airfare and time.  I got a bit lost in the pictures, but they did give me all the flavor I needed.

St Gabe's review mentions that the Jedi chick at Lucasarts as having best in show for cleavage.  Not that I would want to see a picture of a woman with really nice cleavage, or anything.

Looking at the picture of the Starcraft Ghost doll I noticed the sign between her legs that reads 'Please Do Not Touch'.  I wonder how many of the booth babes wish they had one of those signs?

Anyhow, thanks for the effort and the update.

Actually, Samwise has a better angle of those platform show-wearing girls in his rundown.

The Movies sounds and looks interesting, but for some reason reminds me of what I was thinking when I bought NWN...

And the booth babes, generally, have been of poor quality; a chubbed chick wearing CD's, ThunderThighs demo'ing an Eyetoy thing, and the chick from Starcraft Ghost has camel toe? WTF?

Stolen shamelessly from Slashdot: there's now a Spore website and certain lucky whores got a backroom demo from Wright.

Bastards!  I even interrogated an EA guy and he swore that there wasn't a copy of Spore at the show anywhere.  Maybe it's just so top secret that not even the EA guys know about it.

I just must not be sucking enough cock or something.

I somehow missed this yesterday: Mice shaped like guns are stupid. STUPID. (image) I can't believe these guys are still in business.
While I agree carrying around with a mouse shaped like a gun in this day and age is good way to get yourself a nice full cavity body search I do like the ergonomics on that thing where it has your wrist in a more neutral position.

Again, nice job giving us some nice highlights Samwise.

I know how much heat I'm going to take for saying this, but....

Since I'm not there, can you PLEASE try and get some hands-on with Imperator. I really digged the concept when I first read about it, and would like to kill my fanboi-ism sooner rather than later.

Are you fucking kidding me? Seriously. Are you just trying to be nice? I don't understand. The game and concept look like *shit.* DAOC has some of the worst PVE in the genre and Imperator is nothing but that.

Ah okay. I'll probably give something like this a try then (my elbow's been bothering me lately and using a regular mouse is not helping).
