So I guess thats it for e3. Maybe it's because of Nintendo and Microsoft completely making a fool out of PS3? I don't know. But E3, ye shall be missed.

No, it's because of money.

Why are large software houses sodomizing their own industry and future like that?

"Not worth the media exposure"? I have no idea what other event or anything similar brings more into the public eye. E3 was the sense of excitment in the industry, I don't see how an "Every man for themselves" system is fun. Who's gonna bother attending a seperate convention for EA, another one for Ubi Soft, etc.

Ugh.

Why does everytime Jimmy make a single post from the Middle East people all assume he's back?

And yeah, if more major software houses start supporting PAX, it should be big.

Obviously I checked it out, and he's not posting from Iraq. Yes, we can tell that with IPs

Jimmy's way cooler than E3 anyway. We should have a Jimmy convention.

E3 was weird. Nearly every young man age 12-20-something wanted to go yet all the journalists who reported always moan about how tired they are after it and it hyped up our expectations to the point where it ruined some games.
