this list is not in order. this is simply by how i remember everything, so i might forget a few things. 
 

Microsoft

  • Call of Duty looks fine. i like how Treyarch makes COD games. 
  • Halo: Reach looks pretty damn great. space combat FTW 
  • Gears 3 looks alright. i never played the first two so i can't say much. onimonkii said playing one is like playing them all. 
  • Kinect was boring. nothing more than casual family games. 
  • the stuff by rare was disappointing to see. this is what Rare makes now? :( 
  • the animal game was fucking weird. Aaox said it best; she was the best actor out of everyone at the conference. 
  • that's... all if i can remember correctly. madness on twitter with aurahack was fun. 
 

EA

  • MOH's demo was impressive. it looks very fun, despite looking generic. i want to get into the beta. 
  • Dead Space 2... looks pretty good, but i never played the first one so i can't say much. the combat looks frustrating. 
  • the videos for Madden were pretty funny. i had a good laugh out of them. 
  • Bullet Storm.. WTF?! that was some of the weirdest, most amazing gameplay i have ever seen. amazing dialogue. Newten joined in on the madness at this time i believe.
  • that's all i can recall, really. EA's was probably the most impressive. 
 

YOU-BA-SOFT

  • i briefly tried Rez and as soon as the conference started, i saw some dude playing a game that looked like Rez. i was quickly told that Child of Eden was the spiritual successor to Rez. i'm planning to buy Rez HD tomorrow. HYPED! 
  • Assassin's Creed looked neat. Aaox joined in on the madness via Steam and he made me want to play Assassin's Creed 2. 
  • Shaun White looks laaame. i didn't give a fuck about Shaun White and what he did. i just wanted to see the game!! after 20 mins of some weird interview, the game looks very... bleh. the ramp and rail stuff in mid air is weird as hell O.O 
  • i don't even know what happened at this point. all that weird blood pressure stuff was really weirding me out. i was so confused. 
  • WHAT THE FUCK WAS UP WITH THE LASER TAG OH MY GOD

  • freakin' out in the chat 
  • Ghost Recon Future Soldier looks amazing. i was sold on what i saw. aurahack was shitting his pants. 
  • Trackmania made me yell like crazy. i am so fucking stoked for a new Trackmania.. and what's this? Questmania and Shootmania? interesting. 
  • the rabbids trailer played and that was very fun. i love them rabbids. 
  • Driver trailer played and i was hyped up. they showed the gameplay and my hype died. that game looked terrible. all hype is lost :( DUDE HE WAS PLAYING IN A COMA WTF
  • the rayman trailer played and that was pretty great. the art is beautiful and i'm excited for that now. 
  • what the hell was up with the dancing at the end? i'll go ahead and assume that's more Michael Jackson nonsense (like we need more of that). weird way to end. 
 

final thoughts

  • Game of the Show: Ghost Recon: Future Soldier 
  • Highlight Moment: n/a. too many to choose from :\ 
  • Ubisoft is a fucking meme machine
  • Microsoft disappointed me in their conference. 
  • EA impressed the most. 
  • OH MY GOD THAT SWEATER 
  • You-Ba-Soft is by far the best thing i have ever heard. 
 
that's all if i can recall. thanks to aurahack, Newten, Aaox and everybody else for making the E3 stream so much fun.  
 
also, Charlee saved me from raging by telling me that GB was down (as of 10:04 pm EST) i would of raged.  
 
i am not proofreading this crap so i expect a lot of mistakes >.>
