Howdy all, just doing some spring cleaning around the site. Honestly, the guy who made this template, which is the link in the bloggers section, screwed some things up. Just check his comments for this template. Anywho, I'll try to address these problems and hopefully it will be a little bit better than before.
*Fixed border on picture. Kept the white border seeing as it flows with the black.
*Fixed "name (required)" and "website" text bar in post comment section so that there isn't some wierd funky code in it.
*Fixed links in the link section.
*Added new Cory Barlog Blogger site instead of his MB site.
*Added new Podcast section.
*Moved TwiT to the Podcast section.
Looking to do in a few days:
*Fix the word "Comments" when there is only 1 comment.
*Add more links

Holy Crap, a new post (E3 Review)
okay, back to posting after a shocking e3 this year. For starters, I'll talk about all 3 press conferences and my gathered opinion.
First off was the Sony conference. Okay, Sony was about 30 minutes late with the presentation since me and my friend Steve were watching it live. We were tempted by the great music from Sony before the conference was about to start. Music from Madonna to Sean Paul....yes we made fun of the music. So the music dies down and Kaz comes out. Holy shit it's KAZ! lol. The games for the PS3, while beautiful, didn't really capture my creative self (seriously...Afrika...). However, a game called Eight Days looks to have some promise on the PS3. Then comes Gran Tourismo HD, meh still no damage on cars but that Grand Canyon level was a jaw-dropper. Next was the new titles from either new developers or existing developers. Then MGS4.....fucking WOW, it looks great, sadily it's Snake's last game. Now I wonder what the future will have in store for the MGS series. After revealing the Wii controller...errr Sony's new non-boomerang controller with moving it around actually moves the vehicle or character....rip off. And its gets better, the price. It's like a 20Gb hard drive PS3 for $499 and a 60Gb hard drive with HD support is $599. I think I'll pass until it comes down to about $299. I will not pay 500 bucks for a system that casual gamers won't be able to access and only the rich or the crazy fanboys will get.
Nintendo press conference is the next day. Miyamoto-San comes out in his duds and uses the Wii controller to conduct the Zelda Band to conduct the main theme. Pretty cool. But it gets cooler. Reggie Fils-Aime, or as we know as Mr.Reggielution, comes out being the kick ass guy that he is and announces the press conference. So after a showing of Red Steel, a FPS game using guns and swords with the Wii controller, Zelda for the Wii comes on the screen, looks amazing...way better than the PS3 graphics IMO. After that, Miyamoto, Reggie, and Satoru Iwata and a lucky winner from an online contest all play a 4 player game of Wii Tennis. Looks like a fun game, but I wonder how it will play. Unfortunately, there was no price during the conference and I'm left wanting this system. I have never been this excited for a Nintendo system since SNES days.
Microsoft rolls on and continues to promote the Xbox360. Peter Moore comes out with that snazzy green shirt and conducts the press conference at the Chinese Theater. A new web cam will be available for the system as with a pretty cool demo of Gears of War...looks intense and bloody...and we all know bloody games = win. But in true Peter Moore fashion, taking off the top of his suit and rolling up the sleeve, the Halo 2 tat is still on him, but what about his other sleeve? Thinking this guy will get ink posioning someday, he rolls up the other sleeve to show GTA4 for the Xbox360, not bad. I am wondering now, where else will Mr. Moore tat up: his chest, his melon, maybe a Mike Tyson tattoo...who knows! Grandmaster Gates comes out and talks about Micro$oft and the 360. But now Windows Vista and the 360 and a cell phone can access the mini games from Xbox Live Arcade. (did I mention a slew of new games for the Xbox Arcade). As we leave the Xbox conference, a short video of Master Chief comes on....oh snap Halo 3.
Well this concludes the e3 Press conferences, the short version.
