The watch the mayor just threw on the ground is swallowed up by something that oozes out of the ground.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:13 
3:13
The ground shakes.   The room moves.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:13 
3:14
There are hunks of flesh being pulled up towards the ceiling.   HUNKS OF FLESH.  
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:14 
3:14
"You SICK F**K!:"
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:14 
3:14
the mayor says "Show mercy to me.   I only wanted to serve you"
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:14 
3:14
Bye bye mayor!      
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:14 
3:14
Now he's fighting.   Running around behind cover.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:14 
3:14
He grabs the axe from his inventory and starts hacking at those sacks of flesh
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:14 
3:15
You can attack the meat stacks to remove the counterweight for the main enemy, which is like an upside down humanoid looking monster.  
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:15 
3:15
There are places for cover as well.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:15 
3:16
Glass falls from the ceiling.   If Alex is under it, he takes damage.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:16 
3:16
The monster picks up Alex, then THROWS HIM to the ground.   Now it's starting to attack him.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:16 
3:16
They use a health item to improve his HP
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:16 
3:16
The monster swings down, his arm gets stuck.   That lets Alex attack him.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:16 
3:17
That's the presentation for Homecoming.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:17 
3:17
They are moving on to the next game now
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:17 
3:17
Looks like Rock Revolution
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:17 
3:17
A bunch of female have taken the stage.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:17 
3:17
Lauren Fessidomo, the senior manager of Rock Revolution, is at the podium.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:17 
3:18
They want this to be the ULTRA, Real Realistic music game.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:18 
3:18
This is The Sheenas, the L.A. based all-female tribute band to The Ramones.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:18 
3:18
They grab guitars, sit at the drums, and are at the mic.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:18 
3:18
They are rocking out a version of Blitzkrieg Bop
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:18 
3:19
She's no Joey Ramone, but she'll do
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:19 
3:19
She's using her hand for gestures.   Tight winds.       Back seat.   Steam heat.  
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:19 
3:19
It's like watching a Mime do the song
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:19 
3:19
First she was trapped in a box.   Then she was performing in a tight wind... then crawling in the back seat... then generating steam heat...
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:19 
3:20
This is all real music.   It's not a game.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:20 
3:20
I'll give them this.   At least it's not Duffy.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:20 
3:20
Polite applause.   Light applause.   "I hope you're awake now"
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:20 
3:21
Now they are moving on to the game.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:21 
3:21
They are doing the SAME song in Rock Revolution.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:21 
3:21
And boy, are they BAD.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:21 
3:21
Or at least, the guitarist chick is bad.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:21 
3:22
It's like looking at an Top-Down view of the Rock Band or Guitar Hero play map.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:22 
3:22
The cover   version they're using is BAD.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:22 
3:22
The guitar looks just like a Guitar Hero accessory.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:22 
3:22
She got boo'ed off!!!
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:22 
3:22
Rock Revolution Girl = FAIL
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:22 
3:22
"That was my fault"
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:22 
3:22
"That concludes our presentation"
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:22 
3:23
At least they went out on a flat note.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:23 
3:23
Yes, she got booed off by the game.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:23 
3:23
OK folks, that's it for the press conference.   Any quick questions before I head back to play some games?
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:23 
3:24
So, the big news was the Metal Gear expansion pack stuff, which was cool
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:24 
3:24
Silent Hill Homecoming is coming along
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:24 
3:24
And Rock Revolution is a TOTAL ripoff of Guitar Hero and Rock Band.   Not even a good one.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:24

[Comment From AddamAddam: ] 
What confrence has had the best showing, in your opinion?
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:25 Addam
3:25
Activision, all the way. Microsoft is a VERY close second.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:25 
3:25
[Comment From KindergamerKindergamer: ] 
Just Cause 2 a no show at E3?
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:25 Kindergamer
3:25
It was not in the events we saw.   I'll check on the showroom floor in case it's hiding in a corner somewhere.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:25

[Comment From VengVeng: ] 
Based on what you've played and seen thus far, how do you feel about the fall/winter lineups for the 360 and PS3?
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:26 Veng
3:26
Microsoft has some awesome games.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:26 
3:26
Nintendo has an awesome casual title with Animal Crossing, if it makes it.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:26 
3:26
Sony has awesome Video Store stuff, and Little Big Planet.   Home is... uh, Home.   Target date of the Fall   (What year, is the question ;) )
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:26 
3:26
[Comment From AddamAddam: ] 
a quick question about the activision confrence; are all the rock band instruments going to be compatible or just the drums?
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:26 Addam
3:27
The man doing the demo said that "All Guitar and Drum accessories on the market can be used in Guitar Hero: World Tour"
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:27 
3:27
Now, he doesn't specifically say Rock Band.   But what other game uses a drum set?
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:27 
3:27
[Comment From VengVeng: ] 
Follow up to your response above: What Microsoft games are you excited about?
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:27 Veng
3:28
I think I may like Banjo.   I need more time with it.   I like Too Human, but don't love it.   As far as overall 360 games?   If you don't have a preorder for Fallout 3,   GET ONE.   I am going to preorder myself ASAP.   That game is gorgeous.

Does Fable 2 look like it's done as Peter (Can't spell Molyneux) said?
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:28 majorbromly
3:28
Haven't had a chance to play it, I'll try and grab some time when I finish here.

[Comment From Eviltomb321Eviltomb321: ] 
How do you feel about Bungie pulling their announcement from E3?
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:28 Eviltomb321
3:28
Cheap.   Pimp out the announcement then pull it back?   They burned up a little goodwill with some fans.   I know the corporate machine is big, but c'mon.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:28 
3:28
OK folks, one or two more questions.
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:28 
3:29
Otherwise, I'll literally be the last one in here!  
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:29 
3:29
[Comment From My Name is LewisMy Name is Lewis: ] 
did you have fun?
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:29 My Name is Lewis
3:29
Now that I've played games, yes.   ;)

[Comment From Isaac NewbtonIsaac Newbton: ] 
Fallout 3: PC, 360 or PS3, and why?
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:29 Isaac Newbton
3:30
Can't say. We only saw the 360 version.  
Wednesday July 16, 2008 3:30 
3:30
OK gang, I'm rolling out.   We'll have the podcast out as soon as we can.   It MAY be out early tonight, as in before you go to bed.
