E3 only has the same constituency as any advertisement, and that is eaxactly it's job, and advertisement!

As far as I'm concerned, any mere hope of a interesting game is satisfying enough.

This. A person I know who works in the video game industry said that this years E3 was boring. I believe her, because she'd be heavily involved.

I don't hold a lot of stock in E3, but rather I'd spend the money to go to a Game Developers Conference.

People = Shit

That pretty much sums up the people that go to E3

This had me curled over in a laughing fit in the middle of class, though I'm sure it would have been much worse if I'd actually watched E3 this year.

...though I don't feel like I'm missing anything...

Hilarious as always, and I agree with your comments on Final Fantasy XIV. My thoughts exactly.

YES! FINALLY SOMETHING RIGHT!

I was so looking forward to this. That throat noise over the end credits just cracked me up. "Too much innovation at once will cause people's heads to explode"

"You are double shitburger with large fries"

and many, many good one-liners!

Well, I prefer reviews over hype anyway, because because experiments are better than theories.

Yahtzee can make some exceedingly odd noises.
I'm slightly scared.

Still, a decent review, didn't make me laugh as much as some others, but there you go.

That's pretty much how I figured Yahtzee would sound with something down his throat.

...I mean, yes, it makes perfect logical sense for being pessimistic about everything.

Great one, there's a whole lot of ammo to be had from E3!

Does anyone feel it was slightly rushed this week? I suppose he has got a lot of content to get through but still...

Thats a little hypocritical, seeing as you posted before you could have possibly watched it all.

The only reasonable promising thing at E3 was the part about Supreme Commander 2, the rest needs to kill their design team and hire a new one and create a new game, not in a any way shape or from like their previous ones.

Pretty good. I hope for a review next, though.

increasingly not final fantasy for square enix, the fantasy being "WE CAN MAKE THE GAME AGAIN!"

huzzah for the the truth if not a little overboard, but if he wasnt overboard, he wouldnt be ben.

That was a simply amazing summary of E3. Also, I was honestly gut-laughing at the credits, which is actually a huge thing for me considering I don't usually laugh that hard at things I'm watching by myself (you know how that is...I hope...shut up).
