It is, as usual, a magnificent day here in sunny Los Angeles. The sun burns like the unrelenting rage of Scorpion, desperate actors comb the city streets handing out profile shots of their good side and the Electronic Entertainment Expo is about to kick off. But hang on a second, an event of this magnitude isn’t organised in a mere weekend. It takes ages to set up the inside of Los Angeles Convention Center and I’m pretty certain that the chap hanging Uncharted 4 posters outside is about to experience the game for real when his harness breaks. So what does it look like outside then? Like this!
The zero days of E3, are oddly enough some of my favourite days. You’re allowed to mill around a bit and pick up your media passes, provided that you aren’t taking photos of the inside. Trust me, the staff will crack down on that preeeeeetty quickly, as I discovered my first time here. But seeing it all come together, it’s a magical feeling. It’s a feeling that reminds me why I love video games. When you toss out the politics and day one disappointments, there’s a certain something in the air that’s impossible to bottle.
After all, nothing beats that sensation of getting genuinely pumped for a game. Dismiss any future doubts, live in the now and appreciate the present, that’s the way that I feel. And that’s what E3 is to me. It’s not a promise of things to come in my mind, it’s an explosion of what’s happening right there, right now.
And there’s nowhere else that I’d rather be.

If Ubisoft spent the same amount of money on Assassin’s Creed as they did on that wrap-around poster of it, Unity might have been better polished.

Darryn, I’m sure when you saw that “Be the Batman” poster you started chanting it ;P

You think bot’s have AI?

Dude’s getting ripped. Is he preparing for a MMA fight against Geoff?
I’d like to see that.
Darryn goes for a bodyslam, but a butter-covered Geoff slips out of reach. Geoff tries to counter with a round-house kick to the head. However, Geoff’s kick barely even reaches above Darryn’s knee. Darryn sensing victory is close at hand, goes for an uppercut.
It misses Geoff, and both fall to the ground…

Wow, that makes a lot more sense than what I was thinking about. I wonder if I can return all this jelly for credit.
