Eric

With the state of the economy and our media's tendency to drive fear, It's no wonder the numbers aren't meeting expectations. This is a sad case indeed, and EA deserves much better for the work they've done.

Hopefully the only damage done, besides layoffs, is a few fewer titles released. We'd all hate to see a return to Shovelware EA.

They won't have much of a Black Friday after they were denied the business loan needed to stock up on products. I just wonder how this means Best Buy's prices will rocket because of no competition.

Gears of War 2: COG And A Half

This really is everything that is wrong with the industry as a whole, and properly reflects the world's economic strategy when it comes to new technology and ideas. We've gone from products that could entertain us for years to products that entertain us until the next version comes out (and the next and the next and the next). They're literally telling their developers to HOLD BACK so they can put content into a sequel rather than one whole game.

It makes me sick.

Shy Guys... on Pogo Sticks!

Gyarados, because of the challenge of leveling it from Magikarp, and the rewards you reap from it.

Gyarados has always been my favorite. Why?
1. If you want to level him properly, you have to start out with a Magikarp, and everyone knows how awful leveling Magikarp is. So It's a challenge.
2. Awesome balance of moves.
3. His stats are AWESOME.
4. Only have to worry about Electric types.
5. He's a Water Dragon.

Game Posters of random assortment, but includes NES Box Art (makes for hilarious conversation).

Mantle with Power Glove on it.

Backed Posters of Guitar Chords, Einstein, and Animal House.

Three Stooges clock that makes, "Nyuk nyuk nyuk" sounds if you wave your hand in front of it.

And some Photography work I've done blown up to Poster-size. Not because I'm full of myself, but because I really love the scenery and It's cheaper than buying someone elses Prints.

Three Things I Enjoyed About E3:
1. MotionPlus - It sounds like It'll be great once we start seeing games with it.
2. Animal Crossing
3. Watching the Live Demo for Wii Music. HILARIOUS.
