I EXIST AGAIN!!!

Wow ... does anyone still read this thing?

Anyway, time for a bit of a recap. I just got back in from E3, and I'm staying awake now to re-adjust my sleep schedule. I never thought I would actually be able to go to E3. I still remember being a kid and seeing images in video game magazines and now, due to my job, I got to go. What was it like?

Nearly religious actually. I got to meet all the big internet celebrities, famous gamers, and I shook Miyamoto's hand. I was talking with big name game developers, voice actors, and even Leonard Nimoy as if they were my equals. I'm not easily star struck, but these were people I looked up to since I was a kid. I barely even knew how to react. Hell, the Angry Video Game Nerd even used my "cream my pants" line in his E3 run down.

I wish I could remember all the games I played. I took audio notes on them, but it would be crazy to go back now, when I'm so tired to listen to them all. All in all I must have played like 50 games, all of which wont be coming out for months of years. I felt important ^_^.

I have SO much to tell. You'll probably be angry at me for ranting about it for weeks to come. However, now I sleep and bask in the convention after-glow.

I have to issue a public apology to my friends. Using what knowledge I had, I recommended the Xbox as the better gaming system. It had the superior versions of rockband, full support of Valve software, and was what bandai+namco was going to develop on for tales games.

Now, some years later, bandai+namco jumps ship to wii, steam is coming to macs, and the Persona team has signed up with sony for the ps3 making it start to pull ahead in my opinion.

The problem with beating Final Fantasy XIII ... I know there simply won't be another game that I like this much coming out for a while. I was, in a word, stunned. I mean, I wasn't like that in my review of FF XIII cause I needed to be more obejctive and professional, but from a pure fanboy level, I was just so... very stunned by the whole experience. It never fails to amaze me how well the Square team can craft stories.... and it is equally as amazing that they can put out such shitty titles right alongside stuff like this.

Now I guess we just wait for Versus XIII eh?

Oh well, Valkyria Chronicles and Heavy Rain in the mean time.

Nerd rage. I am so sick of people using the excuse "You don't understand the corporate world" when describing social snafus in non-work-related situations. I do understand the corporate world, I also fucking understand that in an arcade playing BlazBlue with your close friends is not a fucking corporate situation!!! Eat my fucking Tager Driver and shut the fuck up!!!

So I do this thing where I have long conversations about video games and sociology with my friends inside their cars outside of my house before I get out to go back inside. Sometimes these conversations end up being an hour long. Yeah, it's weird. Anyway, the other night, my Dad saw me having one of these conversations with Rob. It's common knowledge that Rob has a crush on me, and it was cold and I was yelling alot (since it was BlazBlue related) so the windows got foggy. I'm SURE he thinks I'm gay now, which is HILARIOUS! I wonder when I should introduce him to Renee ^_^

Remember when I said that Silent Hill was gonna come out for the Wii, and everyone thought I was lying and then Silent Hill Shattered Memories came out?

Remember that?

Remember when I said Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney was coming to the Wii as a downloadable title before Wiiware was even announced and everyone thought I was lying and now Phoenix Wright is out on Wiiware?

Remember that?

Remember when I said the Xeno-series was going to be continued on the Wii exclusively and no one believed me?

BOOYAH MOTHERFUCKERS!!!
