The love of my life has left me. We were together for such a short time, but the memories were priceless. I will never forget you.

I love you, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock Les Paul Kramer wireless guitar. Why did you have to break (my heart)?

Piece of junk stopped registering green notes, so I have to send it in. Good thing it's under warranty . And I had just beaten Before I Forget on Expert, too. Oh well. I'll survive two to three weeks.

*Twitches from lack of Guitar Hero*

As awesome as the game is, it still needs this.

That, my friends, would make the game a must-have for everyone on the planet!

Am I right or am I right?

I know that floor coverage is still going on, but I'm blogging now! Hahaha!

Again, formatting may be eaten by the HTML monster, and my memory may be poor.

Nintendo Press Conference

• Was it really that bad? All I seem to see is people talking about how terrible it was
• You're not Reggie!
• Why is Carrot Top on stage? Huh? He's Shaun White?
• Reggie! Yay!
• GTA on DS
• New Call of Duty on Wii!
• The Wii 2.0...or Wii Motion Plus, as Nintendo calls it. Seriously, that will redefine the Wii.
• The man himself: Shigeru Miyamoto
• Wii Music. If I can get my music on my computer in a usable format, I'm getting it.
• Why did everyone compain about the Mario theme? I thought it was great .

Sony Press Conference

• LittleBigPlanet destroys Powerpoint
• Oh dear...that Chimera is awfully big, isn't it? Resistance 2 astounded me.
• Stuff I don't care about...
• ...and this goes on...
• MAG? Much Action Game or something like that. But 256 people is mind-boggling.

The Coverage

• I've reach critical mass. But I've got my Mirror's Edge coverage, so I'm set.

The Forums

• Everyone hates Nintendo
• People want emblems

Closing Remarks

• Glad to see the tech issues were taken care of
• I have faith that all emblem issues will be resolved
• Another stellar day. I can't believe all the content in the floor show

E3 doesn't actually start until tomorrow, but there was stuff today, so here's my recap!

(Order will be messed-up due to my mixed-up memory of the day. I also apologize for formatting. I had bullets, but I guess the HTML monster ate them )

Microsoft Press Conference

• Server issues (oh no, the sky is falling! )
• Switch source of coverage while attempting to get onto GS
• Succeed and watch RE5 gameplay
• Watch games I don't have interest in and get release dates
• Stats I don't care about
• The bold, challenging, iron-strength, unbelievable prediction: the 360 will outsell the PS3 *crickets*
• Avatars! Now, I can share my ugly mug with the whole world in a package oddly reminiscent of Mii and Home...
• Media Partners? I don't pay for TV shows or movies on Live...
• Netflix! If they get HD, this will be the highpoint of their conference (interpret that as you please - good or bad)
• A new dashboard that I don't like, but apparently the old one will be the new Guide or something
• Primetime, for your avatars with real prizes! We just don't know what they are Fingers crossed for T-shirts or MS Points!
• Rock Band 2 news...and an illegible set list in the background
• Guitar Hero: World Tour news...actually, not a lot of content
• Yes! Banjo Kazooie! I will gobble this game up!
• DANCE, CHIEF, DANCE!
• In casual gaming, a Scene It? game I won't consider getting...
• ...and an Eye Toy-esque movie game that, if sharing of movies is allowed, will lead to rampant abuse
• Final Fantasy XIII! On 360! Squint to view the trailer!

The Coverage

• GameSpot is strong on every count, giving me a plethora of stories...
• ...videos...
• ...pictures...
• ...blog entries...
• ...AAAH! Why am I blogging? I need more!
• The world's greatest snack bar
• An awesome piece by Joe which many people didn't like
• Stellar all around, great job, everyone

The Forum

• I believe the last community outcry was either Jeff or the new review system (I forget), which was preceded by Cake/Pie, but today was entertaining. There were many threats to terminate paid accounts (why I find this entertaining is unknown, but I'm probably just a bad person )
• Lots of anger about server issues, but everyone's susceptible to that. I have no hard feelings towards GS, because streaming E3 is great
• Many people also got upset about their emblems, but we'll have to wait a while to see who gets it and who doesn't, so it's premature in my opinion. Besides, Don said no there would be no appeals, so I guess that unless no one on the entire site got it (what a story that would be! ) we'll just have to wait and see
• There was also some great discussion going on that was good reading

Closing Remarks:

• Keep up the good work! (No, not sarcastic, I appreciate the amount of effort that goes into this every year)
• Great coverage! Information overload!
• DANCE, CHIEF, DANCE!

Bungie Day! 7/7, the day we celebrate Bungie, Halo, and they give us a free map . And, for today only, a theme and some gamerpics .

And, the Legendary Map Pack's only 600 points!

Yay!

Cold Storage (the new map) works very well, and I really like it. There's a playlist on it that's DoublEXP, but Fiesta and Oddball stand out as not working (there's seven people in FFA, which is too many, in my opinion). What I really want are team battles, though.

What are you waiting for? Go, go, go!

Oh, almost forgot, can you guys see the games I've played on my Gamercard here? I can't .

You have got to be kidding me. What do I do within 48 hours of beginning my vacation? Get sick . Haven't been sick in ages.

This pretty much puts a damper on my trip, although I'm much better. I'm just laying low, reading and playing whatever's in my DS (hey, I finally finished Zelda!). I'm barely eating, but anything easy on my stomache is what I need (read: Gatorade).

I'll be back in a week. Rally!
