...did anyone really pay attention to that last year?

...I mean, I enjoyed doing it, but if no one got anything out of it, I'll spare the board the 50 some posts and condense it to a few in the dedicated E3 thread.

Please let me know.

yes, please!

Well, ok...that's enough for me...

...I actually had designs of taking the day off and doing it live this year, but something came up at work...

...hope to be home by 2:30...still debating whether I'm going to shut the phone off so I don't get spoiled by any of the reveals prior to watching it...

Stop lying you just didn't want to get shit from your co workers for taking a day off to do a live videogame blog

Good idea

Prediction time...

Things I think will happen during the conference tomorrow:

Halo: Reach campaign demo and announcement of new game mode, which will be playable on the show floor, of course...

Gears of War 3 demo, introducing four/five player coop over Live...

Microsoft will announce a triple-A title that will feature significant Natal functionality (my guess at this point, Fable 3)

Don Mattrick does something that makes me want to punch him in the face...

Thing I hope happen (but chances are there is no way they do)

"New game mode" for Halo: Reach is actually Firefight 2.0, where you have the option of either fighting as Noble Team (six player coop) or as a squad of Elites, fighting against waves of ODST, Spartan IIIs, and for the last round, a trio of Spartan IIs.

After the Gears of War 3 demo, Cliffy B introduces the first look at the Gears of War movie...

Insomniac makes a surprise appearance to introduce their new multi-platform IP...

Don Mattrick announces that the Halo movie is finally be made for real, thus making it so that I never wish to punch him in the face again...

Alright kiddies, I'm later than I had hoped, but let the games begin...

...oh, and while I might pretend to be surprised, I did sneak a peek at twitter on my drive home so I already know what was shown...I just haven't seen any of it yet...

...my guy Geoff, getting the people watching on TV pumped about the lineup...let's get this fucker started!!!

I can already see that my DVR doesn't want to cooperate...have to find a place to watch it online...sorry for the delay...

BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Wow...someone just got their arm ripped off and beat down with it...

And Marcus just charged a locust and piked him with his lancer...

He took a guy as a shield, tagged him, and threw him into a crowd...fucking awesome!!!

Wow...lambent are crazy...things like worms come up from the ground and the lambet exit from them...very much like Nylus worms (I think that's what they are called) if you are a Starcraft fan...

Lambent Berzerker!!! That's just special right there.

Oh that's how you fucking tease a game right there!!!

New mode called "Beast"...what the hell is that?

I need a smoke.

Now it's Peter Molyneux...talking about Fable 3...looking forward to seeing what features he promises that we don't get...

John Cleese...that's always good...

Sweet little gameplay video...

...well, that was short...looks decent, but nothing too exciting...

New partnership with Crytek for a 360 exclusive game...well that was unexpected...

Codename: Kingdoms

...looks like the 360's answer to God of War...

...umm...ok...

Well that was a random observation, but ok...

Marcus is onstage for Halo Reach!!! Hell yes!!!

World Premiere of Campaign...yes!!!!!!!!!

Sweet intro...now some gameplay...

Oh fuck yes...Elites in pods!!!

A shitload of Spirits flying overhead...sweet ass Marty music, as always...looks like Jorge, Kat and Carter are fighting by your side in this part...

They just dropped off some Ghosts...Grunts and Jackals never looked so good...

Elites with armor lock...holy shit...

Wow...epic assassination!!!

Shit just got quiet...lots of people dead...wait...what the hell is that?

New vehicle...Sabre...

I'll say it again...the music is amazing...

Space combat!!! Hell yes!!!!

That gets a slow clap from me...

Wow...just wow...

Now it's time for Kinect...Marc Whitten, please don't bore me...

Guy waves to sign in...nice...

He waves again to bring up the Kintect hub...time for the Xbox to get it's Minority Report on...

This is the one thing I could actually see myself using this for...

Voice commands..."if you see it, just say it"...oh this could be good...

Using his hand to slide through the movie backwards...

"It's simple...it's natural...it's effortless"

Xbox...pause...movie pauses...same thing for play...stop...etc...

Xbox, play music...Justin Bieber...

I think they just sold me on the Kinect...

Xbox Live to Windows Phone 7...

...meh...

Time for videoKinect...video chat over Xbox live...no headset required thanks to the built in mic on the Kinect...

...and yes, I would do her...

...not just for talking to people on Xbox Live, but on Windows Live Messenger as well...

...well, her sister is kind of cute...but not as cute as her...

...LOL...taking a shot at her coworkers who played The Last Airbender to boost gamerscore...

Kinect is following her as she moves around...that's cool...

ESPN on the 360...3500 Live and On Demand events...

Exclusive to 360...Josh Elliot and Trey Wingo on stage now...

College Football...College Basketball...Soccer...

Most of the events in HD...

Using Kinect with the ESPN on 360...nice...

Xbox: replay...that's good stuff right there...

Realtime polls, trivia, etc...scores at the bottom of the screen while you are watching...just switched to sportscenter highlights of NBA finals game 3...

Nicely done.
