Lets sum it up in a few sentance..

Conan O'Brian
Digital Cameras
Technical Issues with the Remote Control
Media Center PC
HDTV
Mocked up images of Bill and Conan
Media Center Pocket (Cell / PocketPC)
More Media Center Stuff this time to do with interactive Television
Touched on games, mentioned 3 (2 of which weren't Microsofts)
3rd Game had a guy who is going to get linched next time he's seen in LA (Forza Motor Sports)
Game Ran out of memory in the preview (I laughed heartily!)
Bill (Ferrari Enzo) then raced Conan (87 Buick)
Conan crashed and caused the game to lag BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADLY (I laughed heartily again!)

Then started plotting Bill Gates journey to becomming an unwilling unick for not showing the Xenon, or something worked half to death over. Needless to say, I can see it being an unrestless day at work today.. if something isn't shown March 7th (GDC) I can see hunting parties will be formed

but if you own a Media Center 2005 PC it was quite an interesting watch.

Thanks for the review. Glad I missed the thing. Really Xenon was
what I was wanting to see anyhow...

Work was interesting on Friday after that event... I believe that someone @ mgs.com is going to be getting alot of spam emails for a while :: whistles ::

What was funnier what what some of the guys around the office decided (that were called childish for by the gals), if there is no news at GDC of what they've been working on for the past few years. Dressings up in Squirrel costumes sporting the MGS logo and jumping Gates when he heads back to his hotel room.
