GameSpot E3: Your Gateway to Gaming
The Electronic Entertainment Expo is days away, and before you know it, GameSpot will be filled with a plethora of E3 opulence. If you just can't wait to experience some of the goodies at E3, e3.gamespot.com has what you need until the event kicks off. Here you can find everything from rumors about things like Sony's new portable device and Harmonix's new game (Here's a hint: It's not Rockband 4). You can also fine the top 10 most followed games of E3 for 2011, countdown timers to press conferences, and so much more.

GameSpot E3 Discussion Forum
If you want to gab in the community about all things E3, we have just the place for you to go. The E3 2011 Discussion Forum has dozens of conversations to take part in, as well as access to our Best of, How to, Press Conferences, and Live Show coverage. We also have some awesome E3-themed wallpapers handcrafted by some of our super talented GameSpotters. Click here to check it out!

Infamous Photo Capture Contest Winner!
Last week, Jody became infamous when a picture was spread across the site of her with the Infamous 2 amp weapon. Poor Max is still recovering (he suffered a nasty paper cut, truly a tragedy). We wanted to know what GameSpotters thought was going through their minds, and we're here to tell you that it was a tough call, but we made it. MrGFaceless and his entry "He said he wanted more of a "spark" in our relationship!" Congratulations, you're the proud owner of the Infamous 2 amp weapon! But as we mentioned, it was a tough call, so here are some of the runner-up submissions.

"A shocking twist in the Sports-section" - mjulstein

"This is the last time that you hog the Cartoon Section of the paper." - KingCrow02

"Aliens from planet Zargon have been sent to infiltrate planet Earth, disguised as women, to blend in with its inhabitants and dispose of them silently, one by one." - 3nany

What Would You Do for a Klondike Bar Winners
We extend a big congratulation to the "What would you do for a Klondike Bar at E3" winners! Here were the entries that were selected by the good people at Klondike.

"I would dress like a booth babe (not a pretty sight) and flirt with game executives for a Klondike bar at E3." - B. St.Charles

"I would do anything for a Klondike bar. I would probably chug a whole cup of ketchup. - R. Reseda

These brave individuals will be performing their acts live on stage to be forever imprinted on the Internet. If you miss the event, don't worry. We will be posting the footage on our GameSpot Spotlight YouTube channel as soon as we get our ice-cream-covered fingers on it.

Staying in Sync
With Jody being in Los Angeles, some of you may be wondering "What about Sync?" Well, rest assured we will still be having daily episodes of Sync, though the location is different. As far as posting times, the episodes will turn into "wrap-ups" for each of the day's events, with a summary of the news from that day's E3. However, there will not be an episode on Friday June 10, but Jody will be ready to sync back up with everyone the following Monday.
