[JeffHCross]

Three years ago, I was in a position where I could legitimately watch all the E3 coverage and call it work-related. I miss that job ... but only for this week. The rest of that job was ... lacking in productivity.

[SmoothPancakes]

Damn, why couldn't they have put Nintendo on Thursday? I'm sitting in studio and on air from 8am to 2pm next Thursday (and with other stuff to do afterward, probably won't even get home from work until probably 6pm or 7pm), watching anything E3 is pretty much completely out for me unless I manage to keep the stream going on the studio computer and watch it when not on air.

One good thing will be that I'll be the only one pretty much in the entire building as everyone else will be out at the park for the community event that our station is putting on, so I could probably get away with having the webstream going the entire time. Only issue would be if it would impact the Clear Channel network and servers too much, which would probably piss off our IT guy up in Toledo and result in a phone call or email from him if he was able to determine exactly where the slow down was coming from and who was causing it, which he would be able to.

[souljahbill]

I was at E3 2 years ago (or was it 3). It was the year Nintendo showed off the 3DS for the 1st time. I remember the Lakers were playing the Celtics for the NBA championship at that time too. I remember playing Dance Central and getting a look at Rock Band 3 behind closed doors. Oh, and I remember looking at X-Com behind closed doors too. Its funny that it still hasn't come out yet. Back then, I rembember saying that X-Com was just BioShock above ground. Apparently the developers thought so too and redid everything. The surprise game of the show for me was Ghost Trick on the DS. I ended up eventually getting the iPhone version. Anyway, E3 is awesome if you ever get a chance to go.

[JBHuskers]

...and G4 has now officially turned into Spike TV and Spike TV has turned more into G4.

[cdj]

Friday's GTTV had trailers for:

Star Wars 1313 - TBA
Guardians of Middle-Earth - TBA
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - 2013
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 - 2013
Dishonored - October 9, 2012
Tomb Raider - March 5, 2013

[JBHuskers]

Just watched GTTV, and DAMN Dishonored and Tomb Raider look AMAZING. Definitely check the trailers out later today.

I've always been a HUGE Tomb Raider fan. I played and beat the 1st 3. Never played the Dreamcast or the PS2 games but I own and beat Legends and Anniversary (still need to get Underworld or whatever its called). Its definitely my most anticipated game of 2013.

[JeffHCross]

Ars Technica is going to use this page (http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2012/06/pre-e3-liveblog-ea-press-conference/) for their live blog during EA's pre-E3 Press Conference. Since I can't get to practically any gaming news sites from work, but I can get to Ars Technica ... :easy:

NBA Broadband coming to XBOX :))

[SmoothPancakes]

Xbox is truly the new sports home. NBA Gametime, NHL Gamecenter, and live 24/7 ESPN programming in HD (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3 and ESPNU) via "WatchESPN". All in addition to MLB.tv and UCF on Xbox both already active on Live. :drool:

All that's missing is NFL. Unfortunately Time Warner and M$ have yet to come to an agreement, so I can't watch ESPN on my XBOX yet :fp:

[SmoothPancakes]

As for game previews, I'm looking forward to Halo 4.

I have to be honest, Kinect on FIFA looks damn interesting, being able to make substitutions and change formations on the fly without pausing the game, as well as the game recognizing how you react if you get called for offside or a foul or something (get hit with a yellow card for cursing at the game perhaps? :D) by having your player in game react aggressive or upset/hostile and such depending on your reaction.

Madden, I'm not convinced about Kinect in that. Took a second or two delay for the game to even recognize the commands Joe Montana gave it.

Also, would they please kill that damn Fable: The Journey game. :fp: That thing looked like a pile of shit at E3 LAST year, and then they come back with yet another shitty looking trailer for it this year. The game got ripped to hell last year, just trash it already and go back to a normal Fable game.

[SmoothPancakes]

All that's missing is NFL. Unfortunately Time Warner and M$ have yet to come to an agreement, so I can't watch ESPN on my XBOX yet :fp:

I was able to somehow get ESPN validated on my Xbox last summer when they had a site go live (apparently by accident) for a day or two for TWC customers. Got my code from it, got full access, and still have full access to this day. Somebody realized there was a fuck up because that website was dead and redirected you back to the "Sorry, we're working hard, blah, blah, blah" website within 24 hours.

[SmoothPancakes]

Xbox SmartGlass, not sure about this. Looks interesting, but seems very niche.

In a related announcement to SmartGlass/Kinect, Internet Explorer is coming to Xbox Live this year.

[JBHuskers]

There IS such a thing as too much information.

Also, it took THIS long for Internet Exploder to get on the 360?

[JBHuskers]

Man, Tomb Raider looks BADASS.

[gschwendt]

I bet Sony does something similar to Smart Glass, either with a tablet or possibly with the Vita. Not necessarily this year but if it's successful in top tier titles (ala Madden), then they would almost have to. As well, generally EA Sports doesn't want to develop features that will only be accessible on one console, that is unless MS paid them a chunk of change to do so.


All that said, I pretty much predicted the Madden scenario last year during the WiiU unveil... it's basically a "free" WiiU controller that you don't have to purchase from MS.

[SmoothPancakes]

Yep. My question is, how is IE going to be usable for those without SmartGlass or Kinect? Will you be able to plug in a USB keyboard alongside your controller?

Second, unless Microsoft is saving the unveil of the nextgen Xbox console for the very end of this presser, it's beginning to look like winter 2013 will be the absolute earliest we'd see a new Xbox console, probably not until 2014.

Someone on the arstechnica live blog made a comment about the WiiU/360 comparison.


Comment: "Tablet/smartphone integration means xbox360 will have all the cool functionality of WiiU. Chekmate!"

[gschwendt]

Angry BirdsWreckateer on Kinect

[JBHuskers]

:D :D :D from the live chat during this chick from XBLA...

"Tits or GTFO"

[JBHuskers]

That game does look pretty fun even though it's pretty much Angry Birds.

[gschwendt]

Have to say, the South Park game does look at least interesting... not a huge SP fan but watch it most weeks and enjoy Parker & Stone.

[JBHuskers]

:D Parker & Stone taking a light jab at Smart Glass.

[SmoothPancakes]

I may have been giving SmartGlass too little credit. A commenter on arstechnica made a good point.


Commenters are loving SmartGlass: "In one 10 minute segment, xbox smart glass rendered Nintendo's Wii U irrelevant"

While I don't really need or care for all the information stuff like they were showing during the movie segment of the SmartGlass presentation, it really does basically turn into the "free WiiU controller" without having to buy it from MS like G said. At first when they first started the presentation for it, I was thinking "instant bomb", but after thinking about it for a bit and looking at the whole picture, it could be a pretty interesting thing.

[JBHuskers]

Here you go Smooth, you can finally learn how to Dougie!

Can't believe they dedicated that much time to Usher to a room full of sausage.

There's probably some of that sausage that flops the other way.

[JBHuskers]

The visual of LA getting blown the fuck up in Black Ops 2 is pretty sweet.

[SmoothPancakes]

Can't believe they dedicated that much time to Usher to a room full of sausage.

:D

As for E3, MS wrapping up their presser with COD Black Ops 2. Still not impressed. Didn't care for it when I saw the first trailer, and still don't care for it after watching this. First COD game that I will have not bought since I first got into the series with COD4. I'll stick with Ghost Recon: Future Soldier.

[gschwendt]

I gotta say, all in all, this was a pretty lackluster press conference. Nothing that just said "hey, you need to get a 360"... there have been things in the past that have at least given me interest in but nothing is a "gotta have".

[JBHuskers]

Eh, my level went from not interested to mildly after watching this. Looks pretty sweet, but probably not a day 1 buy like MW3 was.

[Little Steve]

Black ops 2! OMG can't wait for f'n zoombies!!!

[Little Steve]

o hell no i get to fly a jet!!!

[SmoothPancakes]

Eh, my level went from not interested to mildly after watching this. Looks pretty sweet, but probably not a day 1 buy like MW3 was.

I may pick it up next spring or summer for cheap, but definitely not even considering it for day one buy. I'd buy it for the singleplayer and co-op and that'd be about it. I already haven't cared for COD multiplayer since MW2. Stopped playing MP on that in July of that year. Never played MP on Black Ops. Played MP on MW3 through about January or February before finally saying fuck it and walking away from it.

[JBHuskers]

Getting hardcore buffering now :fp:

Any GTA5?

[JBHuskers]

Any GTA5?

Not yet. The Microsoft press conference is all that's happened so far for the week.

[ram29jackson]

anyone know whats on right now ?

[gschwendt]

Rockstar said no information on GTA5 at E3. Obviously they may release something on their own this week (to put the spotlight on themselves), but it won't be part of any official E3 presser.

[gschwendt]

anyone know whats on right now ?A commercial for The General car insurance.



From now until 3pm CT it will just be general interviews, trailers, etc. No dedicated pressers until EA at 3pm CT. There's a schedule on the first page of this thread.

[Kwizzy]

I have been considering picking up a 360 if only for the live streaming sports stuff. My question would be, do you guys think it's worth it or should I just wait for the next gen.

360 was smart to allow Smartglass on Apple and Android devices, not just shitty Windows Phone.

[JBHuskers]

Right now Spike is showing some Gameplay reveals. This new Transformers game looks interesting. Never have played a current gen Transformers game.

[psuexv]

It would have never survived on just Windows.

It should be interesting. I used the "follow along" feature during one episode of TWD on AMC's website and it was kind of cool. The problem was I spent to much too much time not paying attention to the TV

[JBHuskers]

Yeah that's why I said there is such a thing as too much information. The NFL, particularly Sunday and Monday Night Football started doing those things a couple years ago...it's just too much to follow.

[psuexv]

And I did want to put this out there. If TGT wants to send someone to E3 next year for live coverage I would be more than happy to go. :)

Yep, even with the create a play on the fly thing they pro-typed with Madden. I don't really want to be looking down at my tablet when the playclock is ticking down.

[psuexv]

Well I'm just saying that since most you take time off of work to go to the CDs. I would use some of my precious vacation time at work for the good of TGT. :)

[gschwendt]

I'd go to E3, but it's not on my bucket list. Too much going on and not interested in waiting in line for 30 minutes to get a 5 minute demo of a game that won't be released for another 6 months or more.

[Kwizzy]

Well I'm just saying that since most you take time off of work to go to the CDs. I would use some of my precious vacation time at work for the good of TGT. :)

I'm sure the "big guns" (yeah that's a shot at you CDJ) of TGT would be more than happy to feature your content if you wanna pay your way! :D

[I OU a Beatn]

360 was smart to allow Smartglass on Apple and Android devices, not just shitty Windows Phone.

Very smart, because EVERYONE who has a 360 has either a phone or a tablet of some kind. That means no one is going to have to go out and buy something to get it to work. I've seen it mentioned on other sites, but Smart Glass is apparently just laying the groundwork for Microsoft's real intention...stream actual games to any tablet/phone and play on the go. I'd say that ability will become real with the next Xbox, which would give Microsoft a huge advantage heading into next generation. A console and handheld for the price of one? Yes, please.

Aside from that, Halo 4 looked absolutely bad ass. I LOVE the dark look. I love the new enemies. I love how it's become more visceral. I seriously can not wait for it to come out.

I also liked Tomb Raider even though it looks like a 100% direct rip of Uncharted. Splinter Cell looks really good. I was even impressed by Black Ops II. I think the future setting is going to be the shot in the arm that franchise so badly needs single player wise. Online...it'll suck. Rest assured.

The Gears Judgment(am I the only one that thinks it should be 'JudgEment?') game play after the show, while short, was sweet. I have absolutely no doubts that it's going to be even better than Gears 3 which is already my favorite shooter of all time.

On the bad side, Wreckateers is about the dumbest thing I've ever seen. The kinect stuff in general(Madden, FIFA, Just Dance, and searching for stuff in the dashboard) looks dumb. I just wish they would let it die, but I know that's too much to ask for. All in all, though, I was pretty impressed with what Microsoft has planned.

I have no interest in the EA, Ubisoft, or Nintendo conferences, so I guess the only one I have left is Sony tonight. Hopefully they show something really good.

Well, since Microsoft didn't announce a nextgen console, meaning it probably won't be until 2014 that we see the next one from MS, it would depend on how much you'll want to do on 360. If you'd be buying it mainly for the sports and live streaming, and would continue playing and buying games mainly for PS3, a 4GB 360 for $199 isn't bad. If you would end up buying a bunch of games for 360 as well as PS3, and want to install those games (requiring a bigger hard drive), $299 for a 250GB 360, you'd probably be better off just waiting for a year or two (however long it takes MS to put out a new console) and get the new console.

[JBHuskers]

Battlefield 3 DLC is tomorrow :nod:

If I owned a 360 I can honestly say I don't think I would use voice commands. The only thing that would cool is if they added the FIFA sub thing to football. Easily subbing specific positions is something I've wanted for a long time and if this could make it happen that would be sweet.

The Kinect voice commands come in handy for pulling up games and videos, I used that the most with Kinect.

Looks like the guys at CoD played their hand. Now it’s our turn to bring something ***new*** to the Battlefield

[SmoothPancakes]

I'd say that ability will become real with the next Xbox, which would give Microsoft a huge advantage heading into next generation. A console and handheld for the price of one? Yes, please.

Yep. My thoughts and outlook on SmartGlass has completely changed. I'm now looking forward to this. With MS bringing out this, WiiU just pretty much lost any ground it had.


Aside from that, Halo 4 looked absolutely bad ass. I LOVE the dark look. I love the new enemies. I love how it's become more visceral. I seriously can not wait for it to come out.

Amen! Halo 4 is a definite day one buy for me. In fact, I think I already have it preordered sometime in the past on Amazon. :D Definitely looking forward to it and very much looking forward to the new path the series is being taken down.


I also liked Tomb Raider even though it looks like a 100% direct rip of Uncharted. Splinter Cell looks really good. I was even impressed by Black Ops II. I think the future setting is going to be the shot in the arm that franchise so badly needs single player wise. Online...it'll suck. Rest assured.

Tomb Raider looked interesting. I have no plans right now to buy it, but it's on my interest list. I agree, Splinter Cell does look really good. That might be going on my preorder list. Fuck, just like last fall, here we go again. I already have Assassin's Creed III preordered, Halo 4 either already is or about to be preordered, Splinter Cell may be about to get preordered. If anything else major comes out, here comes another November of being poor.

As for Black Ops II, sure, it looks interesting and going future may be what it does need, but like you said, online it'll suck, like always. And online is 95% of any COD game. Everyone that I know who buys COD buy it all solely for the online/multiplayer. Since that's going to suck ass again, like it does every, single, year, thus the reason why it's not going to be anything more than a used Amazon or Gamestop purchase next summer for super cheap just to fuck around in singleplayer/co-op while waiting for NCAA 14 to come out.


The Gears Judgment(am I the only one that thinks it should be 'JudgEment?') game play after the show, while short, was sweet. I have absolutely no doubts that it's going to be even better than Gears 3 which is already my favorite shooter of all time.

I have no interest in the EA, Ubisoft, or Nintendo conferences, so I guess the only one I have left is Sony tonight. Hopefully they show something really good.

Gears Judgment does look interesting. I'll have to keep my eye on it. Wreckateers is DEFINITELY geared towards families/little kids, because that was the fucking dumbest thing ever. Madden/Just Dance/etc Kinect, I agree, I couldn't care less about any of that shit. FIFA, like I said in a previous post, it does have some promise there because being able to make substitutions and change formations on the fly just by voice without having to pause the game would be nice. Other than that, I have never really cared for Kinect and unless I get it from someone as a gift, present, or win it from someplace, I have no intentions of ever actually spending money on it.

As for the rest of the pressers, EA and Ubisoft are about it for me, EA for NCAA, Madden, NHL and FIFA, and Ubisoft for both Assassins Creed III and Splinter Cell (if they talk about SC some more at it). I'll watch Sony just to see what they have to talk about, maybe something about a future console that may finally get me back into Playstation since my PS2 days. Nintendo, I couldn't give two shits about.

MW3 did up the game a little bit adding in Kill Confirmed. It's still run and gun though. It will never be tactical.

[I OU a Beatn]

Yep, that's the only reason I'm watching Sony - I was intrigued by The Last of Us, I want to see what they have in store for Vita, and them I'm hoping they tease the PS4. Sony has been on my shit list for a long time and unless they come out and really wow me, I don't see that changing.

MW3 did up the game a little bit adding in Kill Confirmed. It's still run and gun though. It will never be tactical.

Yeah, I did enjoy Kill Confirmed for a bit. That was pretty much the sole game mode that kept me going in MW3 until January or February (whenever it actually was) when I finally just gave up because it was just the same tired bullshit match and match. You pretty much nailed it exactly, run and gun and nothing else. If it was more tactical, I'd enjoy COD multiplayer more, but it's not that. Nothing but run and gun, camping in random spots on the map waiting for people to run past you, and spawn camping.

Yeah, I did enjoy my PS2. I got the original Playstation and first got into console gaming in 1997 and PS2 in 2001/2002 before eventually getting an original Xbox around 2003 or 2004 I think it was. But even after getting an Xbox, I was playing PS2 almost every day and buying most of my games on PS2. I'm going to be getting an Xbox 720 regardless, that's a given for me, but depending on what direction Sony goes with the PS4, whenever they announce it, it may get me to buy a PS4 and get back into Playstation gaming.

And being a Final Fantasy fan (even though they have finally brought it over to the 360 with FF13 and FF13-2), I would love to get back into the PS world, between playing Final Fantasy on a Playstation just feels right compared to playing it on 360, as well as the chance to play older Final Fantasy games through the PS Store.

Hopefully it's about a new Battlefield. I still need to buy Battlefield 3 (may have to do that this month before NCAA drops), but with COD pretty much being dead for me, an announcement of a new Battlefield would be sweet.

[JBHuskers]

Dead Space 3 is looking badass.

[gschwendt]

Dead Space 3 is looking badass.I'm not sure I ever installed the second one or not... I enjoyed the first but I really hate the game mechanics on PC. Not sure if they're better on the console side but they were distracting enough that I haven't had much interest in playing DE2.

[SmoothPancakes]

That is one series I really need to get into sometime. I have never played Dead Space 1 or 2, but it has always sounded interesting. I may have to look at picking up 1 down the road and seeing if/how well I like it, then pick up DS2 sometime after that.

[SmoothPancakes]

Here's Madden 13.

Whoa, mass will take into affect.

[SmoothPancakes]

So did anybody understand exactly what the hell they were talking about there with Connected Careers? Parts of it sounded like a redone Superstar/Madden version of Road to Glory, other parts sounded like an updated Head Coach 09. I didn't really get any details about what is intended for it. Hopefully EA/the Madden team will be releasing the blogs/playbook for it soon.

I am probably 3/4 of the way through the first one on 360. Controls were okay, I really dug the game, just haven't gotten caught up in the series yet.

[SmoothPancakes]

The new SimCity looks interesting. SimCity 4 has always been a fun game to fire up on my laptop now and then and fuck around in a city in it. It'll be interesting to see any new news that comes out about it down the road closer to release.

[SmoothPancakes]

Damn, no new Battlefield until at least next fall, with an expansion pack planned for as late as March 2013. Looks like I'll definitely be getting Battlefield 3 sometime in the near future then since EA is adding to it continuously over the next 9 months.

Essentially they all live in the same mode and you (and 31 other players) can choose what they want to be. You can be a coach while I'm a normal gamer while Steve is a player.

Again, that's just my assumption since I haven't listened to the podcast.

$15 of that $75 is already owned with the limited edition. So now it's $50 for $60 worth of stuff...so I dunno yet. I'll have to look into it more.

Alright. I'm going to assume then that at least it's still possible to play a "version" of the current singleplayer franchise, because that's all I care about. I couldn't care less about Online Franchise.

Ah, alright. So for me then, whenever I get around to buying Battlefield 3, it'd be the regular edition, BF Premium would make sense since it's be a $25 savings, whereas it might not be exactly a deal, or at least that great of one, for those who own the limited edition.

[SmoothPancakes]

Hmm, Medal of Honor Warfighter just went onto my watch list. With Halo 4 and Assassin's Creed III already preordered, and the new Splinter Cell about to get preordered, plus the new Tombraider looking interesting and now this, fuck this is gonna be an expensive Fall. :D

Well, I will say, I think Madden just became a day one buy. I haven't played Madden since Madden 11 (which I owned for 3 days last June after buying it on eBay, just long enough to get all the achievements and an easy 1000 gamerscore before selling it back off on eBay), and haven't bought Madden brand new since Madden 10, but these additions to Madden 13 may have pushed me into finally giving EA and Madden another chance. Damn, Fall is really going to be a bitch now. NCAA in July, Madden in August, NHL and FIFA in September, MOH Warfighter in October, Halo 4 and Assassin's Creed III in November. Thank god Splinter Cell Blacklist and Sim City don't come out until next Spring.

Alright, now the 35 minute wait until Ubisoft hits the stage. Looking forward to hearing news about Assassin's Creed III and Splinter Cell Blacklist.

All of a sudden the game becomes a bad acid trip, with a room bursting into flames and disjointed TV screens urging you to "kill" and "fuck."

[SmoothPancakes]

And Splinter Cell Blacklist is up.

[I OU a Beatn]

Girl wood? That lady is bugging the shit out of me.

Jumping seamlessly from tree to tree, killing wild prey in the forest, defending against a pack of attacking wolves, slaughtering the animal and taking the meat to a butcher to complete a quest (brings up thoughts of Red Dead Redemption and skinning the dead animals). This all FAR surpasses the climbing abilities of the main character in AC 1, 2, Brotherhood and Revelations. MY GOD. November better get here REAL goddamn fast!

I gotta say, all in all, this was a pretty lackluster press conference. Nothing that just said "hey, you need to get a 360"... there have been things in the past that have at least given me interest in but nothing is a "gotta have".If they announced that WatchESPN was available without a cable subscription, I'd be buying a 360 tomorrow.


Right now Spike is showing some Gameplay reveals. This new Transformers game looks interesting. Never have played a current gen Transformers game.War for Cybertron was a good game. Not great, but very solid.


I'd go to E3, but it's not on my bucket list.The only way I'd go to E3 is on somebody else's dime :D GDC is on my bucket list though.


Very smart, because EVERYONE who has a 360 has either a phone or a tablet of some kind.I don't have a 360, but .... no smartphone either :D


I hate FPS demos during E3... they always turn it on god mode and gameplay ends up looking ugly as a result.Or when they bring Joe Montana out on stage and make an HB Dive unstoppable ;)


So Playstation Plus members will get Saint's Row 2, Infamous 2, and Little Big Planet 2 free.Free? That's not what I heard. I just heard "available". As in the Ultimate Bundles they've been pimping. EDIT: Never mind, apparently I heard totally wrong.

Yeah, this E3 sucked. Halo 4 was jaw dropping, and Tomb Raider looked good, but aside from that, Microsoft didn't do anything. They had a new Gears and new Forza and they didn't even give them a combined 60 seconds. The hell? Then Sony comes out and shows off a bunch of multiplatform titles, Battle Royale(LOL), and a new God of War which is just coming across as rehash to me. The only thing worthwhile they showed was The Last of Us.

Of course, if nothing else, this just goes to show that the next generation of consoles is definitely right around the corner. The lack of quality exclusive titles on either platform at this year's E3 was disturbing.

[JBHuskers]

Watch Dogs definitely stole the show. The Last Of Us was great too.

Maybe. Hard to say without actual gameplay footage.

There was one shot where it had the part where you have to move the analog sticks together, but you're right, there is nothing confirmed yet. Just based on how they're going for a heavy emotional game and the fact they made Heavy Rain, I'd say it's a good chance of being similar in mechanics. Not that it's a bad thing...I think the premise sounds really cool. It's just not something I would consider a game if it turns out to be that way.

LOL... watching Spike and they're talking to the devs of some MMA game and they show a hot chick and a MMA fighter playing the game against each other.

Was that for the Bellator game that's coming out for XBLA and PSN?

Was that for the Bellator game that's coming out for XBLA and PSN?Yeah, I think so.

[JBHuskers]

Yeah, I think so.

I'm interested in seeing how that game plays, but don't think I want to see for $15 or $20.

That demo with the storybooks took FOREVER.

Lol Usher got me, it's almost like Microsoft forgot their target audience is 12-30 year old men...not 9-45 year old women.

Those were actually two PS3 controllers. One was black and one was white.

For everyone complaining that Sony didn't spend enough time with Wonderbook, here you go.

Ubisoft, you have GOT to have someone in your company that can actually lead a press conference. First Mr. Caffeine last year, now Aisha and Toby. :fp: Ubisoft, you may have one of the better or best press conferences from year to year, but you have the shittiest presenters/leaders EVERY year. :fp:Since you said "in your company" (and I've just now seen some footage of the Ubi presser) ... you know Aisha Tyler is an actress and stand-up comedian, not a Ubisoft employee, yes? Which makes all of her jokes that fell flat even funnier to me.

[JeffHCross]

Girl wood? That lady is bugging the shit out of me.

You and me both. I'd almost rather have Mr. Caffeine back from last year. :fp:
Ms. Tyler would like to have a word with you (http://kotaku.com/5918084/aisha-tyler-rants-ive-been-a-gamer-since-before-you-could-read) about your comments.

Saw that today and instantly thought back to you guys and your comments :D

I saw that yesterday and I have a rebuttal for her. I wasn't bashing her because she's a "gamer." I was bashing her because she was ANNOYING AS HELL. I did get a pretty good laugh out of it, though. I'm sure she received a bunch of colorful feedback based on her E3 Ubisoft presser.
