Overheard@E3: STUNNED!
While toiling away in the press room on Wednesday, entrenched and blogging the scoops, we heard a couple of other game journos discuss the sheer magnificence of one Square Enix. Apparently, these guys were big fans. Game Journo #1: "Did you see Final Fantasy XIV?" Game Journo #2: "Yes, and I was ...
Overheard@E3: Brutally Jealous
Activision Rep: "Have you been to the booth yet?" Xav: "Not yet. I want to check out Brutal Legend... wait sorry, that's EA. You guys used to have it." Activision: "Yeah. Don't rub it in." For the record, this happened yesterday ... which makes today's law suit even more hilarious. ...
Overheard@E3: Doing his business while getting something down on paper
While relieving ourselves in the bathroom across the hall from the E3 media room, it sounded like someone was trying to unload in the stall. Not in the way one would normally expect from an attendee who had consumed mass quantities of coffee and convention center food. No, this guy was having a ...

Overheard@E3: Kudos to Kudo's Wii burn
No doubt a little flustered by the woman wildly flailing about at the other end of the stage, Kudo Tsunoda slipped in a comment that, according to wicked modern parlance, could easily be classified as a "sick burn." The recipient? The Nintendo Wii, which will soon find itself competing against ...
Overheard @ E3: Kojima seeing 'Dun-Dun Dun Da-Dun'
Looks like Hideo Kojima won't be making the Microsoft press conference. When we stumbled upon him outside our hotel he told us that he'd be doing some sightseeing around (not so) sunny LA and then seeing "Dun-Dun Dun Da-Dun." We assume he means Terminator Salvation and, despite our instincts, we ...
Overheard@GDC09: It's a small, small development community, be nice
Sure, the video game industry is a multi-billion dollar behemoth, but behind it all are people -- a few people ... really, not as many as you'd think.
