SkylinePigeon's E3 2008 Awards!

Favorite Person of E3: the PR guy who scheduled Jack Trenton's tanning appointment

Great Announcement I Will Find Most Disappointing When It Is Released and I Am an Entire Ocean Away From My 360: RE 5 Co-Op

Greatest Personal Geek Out Moment Over Something I Know Nothing About: XBOX LIVE TRIVIA?!?!?!

Best Camera Face: TIE, Reggie Fils-Aime for his crazy eyes during the press conference, Gamespot Don's simultaneously serious and goofy (and perhaps slightly camera seducing?) expressing during the Q&A sessions the first day of the live show

and no mention of Room # 2? This is most disconcerting. Nice blog though.

I had to laugh at you when I read this blog. Portal: Still Alive is awesome, and Fable 2 is my Game of Show.

His tan WAS really wild. I wasn't impressed at all.
And Wii Music is going to be a horror.

Loving the parents worst nightmare achievement Though I'd probably give that to Rock Band 2/GHWT.

Pardon me, Sky. I see no mention of a Mister Feet within the contents of your luverly blog type thing. Also please note that there was a "Cell underscore dweller" that looked like Kaine in the Command And Conquer series of games. I would apologize to mister cell underscore dweller for mistaking him for carstairs, but I have a feeling he wouldn't want me anywhere near his blog.

Haha, Molyneux was awesome. He loves working on games so much. I bet the whole Gamespot crew was cracking up over how excited he was.

Fable 2 will surely will be a contender for GOTY. Personally that's one of the games I cannot wait for. This holiday season will be a lot better than last year!

I'm glad everyone enjoyed my awards! Nick I am officially awarding you the "Gamespot user I am most jealous of" award.

PAJ--The thing with Guitar Hero and Rock Band is that little kids (the age I usually babysit) find that game too complicated. Plus, those games actually have good music. Wii Music is super accessible for all ages, features music no one probably wants to hear, and will allow it's players to make a general cacophony, as shown on stage during the press conference! ACK, hide me now!!

Oh my goodness! No way! Thanks for the award SP. I don't think I've ever gotten an award for doing my job. That look is quite mysteries. I have no idea where it came from or what segment I need to go back and watch to find it. That screen cap rules. Thank you for the award. Also, cell_dweller really wasn't much of a user while he was at E3. He worked a lot of the time. His dedication and commitment to the cause was very impressive. One of these days, we will find a way to do a segment with him worthy of his Kain-ness.
