Fahey: 
I don't think this is working.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:22 Fahey
9:22
Fahey: 
I could be wrong.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:22 Fahey
9:25
Leigh Alexander: 
Exciting!
Monday July 14, 2008 9:25 Leigh Alexander
9:26
crecente: 
Allrighty it looks like we are live with our Liveblog everyone. The show floor opens at 930. We're heading down right now to get a look inside.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:26 crecente
9:26
McWhertor: 
Back in a bit!
Monday July 14, 2008 9:26 McWhertor
9:28
Leigh Alexander: 
Leigh and Fahey are holding down the fort upstairs. In a little while, I'll be explaining the prizes we have to give away during this liveblog, and tell you all how you can win!
Monday July 14, 2008 9:28 Leigh Alexander
9:28
Fahey: 
<---Forms the head.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:28 Fahey
9:28
Leigh Alexander: 
Fahey, are you totally PUMPED?
Monday July 14, 2008 9:28 Leigh Alexander
9:28
Fahey: 
Inflated even!
Monday July 14, 2008 9:28 Fahey
9:29
Leigh Alexander: 
Fahey, keep your strange fetishes out of this.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:29 Leigh Alexander
9:29
Fahey: 
This is just like New Year's rocking eve.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:29 Fahey
9:30
Leigh Alexander: 
And it's as cold as January in this press room! All we need is some washed-up celebrities and an MTV artist-of-the-moment to perform, and it'll feel like New Year's for sure.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:30 Leigh Alexander
9:31
Fahey: 
You know, Ryan Seacrest went to one of my high schools, which qualifies me to toss his name about freely as if I knew him.

Monday July 14, 2008 9:31 Fahey
9:31
Leigh Alexander: 
"Knew" in the biblical sense?
Monday July 14, 2008 9:31 Leigh Alexander
9:32
Leigh Alexander: 
...I'm going over your head again, huh?
Monday July 14, 2008 9:32 Leigh Alexander
9:32
Brian Ashcraft: 
Yes. Yes, you are.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:32 Brian Ashcraft
9:32
Fahey: 
This is why all the girls love yaoi.

Monday July 14, 2008 9:32 Fahey
9:32
Leigh Alexander: 
I do not love yaoi.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:32 Leigh Alexander
9:32
Leigh Alexander: 
Anyway, Microsoft! Yaaaaaaaay!
Monday July 14, 2008 9:32 Leigh Alexander
9:32
Fahey: 
I said girls. You're a 'lady'
Monday July 14, 2008 9:32 Fahey
9:33
Leigh Alexander: 
Aw, Fahey, what a gentleman. I'd prefer "lady" not be in   quotes, though.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:33 Leigh Alexander
9:33
Fahey: 
Okay, from now on lady will be "not in quotes".
Monday July 14, 2008 9:33 Fahey
9:34
Leigh Alexander: 
"Leigh"-dy does not work, because my name is pronounced "Lee." Let's get that one right, commenters!
Monday July 14, 2008 9:34 Leigh Alexander
9:35
Fahey: 
Yes, it's Leigh as in "Leigh-roy Jenkins"
Monday July 14, 2008 9:35 Fahey
9:36
Leigh Alexander: 
Alright, listen up, doods -- I'm going to explain what you'll need to do to win the FABULOUS prizes shown after the jump.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:36 Leigh Alexander
9:36
crecente: 
Looooong line down here.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:36 crecente
9:37
Fahey: 
Okay, someone in comments asked what Yaoi was.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:37 Fahey
9:37
Leigh Alexander: 
Fahey, I am explaining the contest rules. Please talk about male on male computer games later.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:37 Leigh Alexander
9:38
Leigh Alexander: 
First up, we have the GTA apparel set, with a "Swingers" cap and T-shirt, and an LCPD T-shirt as well. Everyone see that? Oooooh!
Monday July 14, 2008 9:38 Leigh Alexander
9:38
Leigh Alexander: 
Second, we've got a lovely two item-set of LEGENDARY Rock Band drum silencers and microphone. It's amazing! It's peripheral! Get excited!!
Monday July 14, 2008 9:38 Leigh Alexander
9:39
Leigh Alexander: 
The third prize set is our ULTIMATE giveaway special. Again, hit the jump to see the prizes if you have not yet. This third prize package must be SEEN to be BELIEVED.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:39 Leigh Alexander
9:39
Fahey: 
Thanks Vannah!
Monday July 14, 2008 9:39 Fahey
9:40
Leigh Alexander: 
Ding!
Monday July 14, 2008 9:40 Leigh Alexander
9:40
Leigh Alexander: 
Prize package three consists of a liquor flask (though I'm sure the abstinent may use it for kool-aid, lemonade, coca cola or whatever your pleasure) branded with the logo of the Capcom Player's Club. Be a player with your very own Capcom flask!
Monday July 14, 2008 9:40 Leigh Alexander
9:40
Leigh Alexander: 
(Oooh. Ahh.)
Monday July 14, 2008 9:40 Leigh Alexander
9:42
Leigh Alexander: 
Another item in the third package is a rather large wrench that Mr. Crecente tells me is a Banjo-Kazooie logo item, but we are discussing whether or not it may actually be a Ratchet & Clank wrench. Either way, it's a huge wrench! A video game wrench!
Monday July 14, 2008 9:42 Leigh Alexander
9:42
Leigh Alexander: 
(Ooooh! Wrench!)
Monday July 14, 2008 9:42 Leigh Alexander
9:42
Fahey: 
Not just any damn wrench!
Monday July 14, 2008 9:42 Fahey
9:43
Leigh Alexander: 
You can wrench things with it!
Monday July 14, 2008 9:43 Leigh Alexander
9:43
Leigh Alexander: 
Preferably not people's skulls!
Monday July 14, 2008 9:43 Leigh Alexander
9:43
Fahey: 
It's not like we stopped at a Sears on the way here.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:43 Fahey
9:43
Leigh Alexander: 
Unless there's a Splicer outbreak!
Monday July 14, 2008 9:43 Leigh Alexander
9:43
Leigh Alexander: 
The third item in our final prize package is a Fallout 3 "Simlab 1000." This is apparently amazing as it's like, one of those viewmasters we used to have when we were little, y'know?
Monday July 14, 2008 9:43 Leigh Alexander
9:44
Leigh Alexander: 
You know, where you put a cartridge inside and look through binoculars at little pictures?
Monday July 14, 2008 9:44 Leigh Alexander
9:44
Leigh Alexander: 
Er, oops, that was the second item. The third item in this final prize package is its crowning glory.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:44 Leigh Alexander
9:45
Leigh Alexander: 
If you're just joining us, hit the jump to see the prizes!
Monday July 14, 2008 9:45 Leigh Alexander
9:45
Fahey: 
Crowning was a bad choice of words.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:45 Fahey
9:45
Leigh Alexander: 
This is a legendary Dungeon Runners "bling gnome."
Monday July 14, 2008 9:45 Leigh Alexander
9:45
Leigh Alexander: 
It is hideous and foul.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:45 Leigh Alexander
9:46
Leigh Alexander: 
For reference, see: http://kotaku.com/5015431/dungeon-runners-gold+excreeting-bling-gnome-spotted
Monday July 14, 2008 9:46 Leigh Alexander
9:46
Fahey: 
I suppose pooping a coin could be called "crowning", depending on where you live.

Monday July 14, 2008 9:46 Fahey
9:46
Leigh Alexander: 
Only in your sick little world, Fahey.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:46 Leigh Alexander
9:46
Leigh Alexander: 
I mean, I dunno where you live at, but yeah.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:46 Leigh Alexander
9:47
Leigh Alexander: 
Anyway, this gnome can be yours! Wanna know what you have to do to win these prizes we'll be giving away over the course of the Microsoft press event?
Monday July 14, 2008 9:47 Leigh Alexander
9:47
Leigh Alexander: 
Sure you do.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:47 Leigh Alexander
9:47
Fahey: 
No! Keep it a secret!
Monday July 14, 2008 9:47 Fahey
9:48
Fahey: 
ProTip: Leigh's ringtone sounds like Otacon is calling.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:48 Fahey
9:48
Leigh Alexander: 
It's the Codec.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:48 Leigh Alexander
9:48
Leigh Alexander: 
Otacon WAS calling.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:48 Leigh Alexander
9:49
Leigh Alexander: 
So, we need you guys to pay attention to my colleagues' dutiful liveblogging. Every so often, it'll be time to give away a prize. Watch Kotaku comments, because I'll be posting in them (not in this liveblog window) with a question about what you've heard in the liveblog. The first correct reply will get the prize.
Monday July 14, 2008 9:49 Leigh Alexander
9:49

This has me feeling generous.

Monday July 14, 2008 9:51 Fahey
9:51
Fahey: 
Prize package four is this lovely half-eaten poppyseed muffin sitting on my backpack. (eaten percentage subject to change)
Monday July 14, 2008 9:51 Fahey
9:51
Leigh Alexander: 
Win a leftover muffin mostly eaten by Fahey! YAY, E3!
Monday July 14, 2008 9:51 Leigh Alexander
9:52
Fahey: 
Dreams do come true!
Monday July 14, 2008 9:52 Fahey
9:52

I'll ask a question, and the first person to email their answer to kotakucontest@gmail.com will be the winner.

Huzzah! Tell us Crecente, is there a white and green motif?

Monday July 14, 2008 10:03 Fahey
10:05
crecente: 
There is a white and green motif.

The stage is actually three stages. To the right is a row of high def monitors with Xbox 360s attached. Center stge is a giant white screen projecting comments people are writing on a dry erase board. Some people have been posting their site names. Me? I just posted BLOGGERS UNITE!!!
Monday July 14, 2008 10:05 crecente
10:05
crecente: 
To the right there's a little sitting area up on stage with several comfy chairs, it looks like something oprah would be involved in. There is, of course, loud techno music and lots of green lights.
Monday July 14, 2008 10:05 crecente
10:07
Fahey: 
I knew it. Oprah is coming to Xbox Live.

Monday July 14, 2008 10:09 Fahey

Leigh Alexander: 
Fun E3 fact, guys: In the hallway, where the booths and things are being unloaded and set up, they've covered all of the floors with plastic, presumably to protect them from scuff marks and damage.
Monday July 14, 2008 10:12 Leigh Alexander
10:13
crecente: 
The lights just dmmed and a video is rolling. It's called Xbox 360 Street Talk.
Monday July 14, 2008 10:13 crecente
10:13

This of course means we can pee directly on the floor if need be.

Monday July 14, 2008 10:13 Fahey
10:13
crecente: 
THey're talking to kids and people on the street about how much they love the Xbox 360.
