God wants me to win.

i win.

For the love of god people. Talk about can't win. If Microsoft did NOT include an indexed search , half the world would be shouting that they're falling behind Apple. The search CAN be disabled by several GUI based means. How is this more difficult or less appropriate than OSX's shell commands? Google is being a whiny bitch.

I'm glad I was able to go before it disappeared. I was able to go to the best years of E3, Comdex and CES and i'm happy to have had the chance. It's a shame I won't be going any more but that's life.

I'm one of the people who lined up for 3 hours yesterday to play the Wii. I came out feeling a little odd. I had enjoyed the ps3's flight game on wednesday and REALLY wanted the Wii to kick it's ass. In the end I played Baseball, the shooting demo and Red Steel. The baseball was very fun and I felt like the controller really was working perfectly as I missed almost every pitch (just like real life) When I hit one, it felt like i SHOULD have and it really worked. The shooting demo was great fun (if a little frantic as it was VS a 50 something japanese businessman who was quite good) The controls were a little over sensitive for the shooting demo but I still got to the point where I could reliably hit targets within a second of them popping up. Red steel for me is where it kinda went wrong. I shoot real guns several times a week (IPSC and IDPA competitions) and I think if anything is going to qualify me for quick target acquisition it's IPSC. I had real problems shooting accurately with Red Steel. the great news is that I did well at the shooting demo. This really means that it CAN be accurate which means getting Red steel into the right place should just be a calibration / tuning issue. I liked moving around with the joystiq and the controller felt incredibly well made. I gave up the second half of my Red Steel demo to a friend I had made in line (my feet were killing me anyways) so I got the chance to push the start button (woo hooo) and even something that silly felt good - very clicky but not too clicky.

One thing that I think is interesting is that the PS3 had 8(?) games playable by the public and nintendo had over 25. This was a big chance they took. Not sure if it was a good decision to have so many very early games out.


Graphics didn't impress but I didn't expect much and honestly don't care. Guitar hero does not have incredible graphics, just unique game play. Nintendo did right to put their money into quality and take a chance on innovation instead of "how many nvidia stickers can we throw on this thing?"

Damn my feet hurt - I got the little NES pin when I left the booth but a Wii pin would have been cooler.

Loved playing it at last E3. that was their guided tour where you have a GM tailing you and healing you the whole time. this time I did a free play and loved it still. It feels good (the targeting) and the graphics are acceptable. NC soft is doing pretty good (they had a cool big mech shooter too) and I am pretty darn happy with what I played.

I will kill myself because for the first time in 5 years I will not be going. Last year was frankly a waste - too many people because of the launches and a bunch of BS. Frankly the only thing i'm interested in is the revolution and if it's playable there (by joe attendee without a 4 hour line) I will break out the knife and start cutting.

I personally think that what the US market is missing is a large variety of budget titles. Japanese gamers have SO MANY options, but we get sequel after sequel.

sorry guys - looks like the line breaks totally jacked up the images. its worth copying and pasting those urls into your browser though. seriously cool
