Microsoft conference inbound imminent, the ship can't hold it no more!!!

Captain, another 500 metres and we won't be able pull out of the M$ Conference!!! x_x

Don't worry, Nintendo Task Force are on it, Nukes inbound

Engineering will just have to activate the second Triforce, the Triforce of Power, and we should be able to pull out.  Could take up to an hour or two however.

In the mean time, just sit back and observe the Microsoft Species.  They are strange and Borg-like in nature.  Posessing advanced technology, their survival strategy has long been to consume and assymilate "weaker" cultures, the only one known to escape the hold being the one called Bungie - though the Microsoft overlord did retain some of the Bungie's personality, most specifically the identity of "Halo".  The Microsoftians are constantly monitored by their hive-mind known as the Balmer through necessary devices known as "Kinects".  What's most facinating is the complete loss of individuality of Microsoftians.  Should an individual be disconected from the Balmer collective, it must reconnect within 24hours or its gaming life will die.  While strange to those on the ship Iwatachartz who have known little to no interconnectivity at all, this connection is more of an evolution for Microsoftians who have long had to be connected to "Live".  So yes, watch and observe, and hopefully the two cultures can share and grow together!

I think the MS conference was good, almost great - but they focused on games to a fault. Where was all the DRM talk and shit?! You know, things we all worry about!?

$499, did not surprise me...

I voted "Great" for the MS conference.

I voted "Average". The focus on (many, rather varied) games was more than welcome. However, technical issues knocked it down a few pegs. And that price announcement... is not going to go over well.

The highlight for me was Project Spark, which is the kind of new IP I might be interested in. Low points were either Dead Rising 3 or Titanfall. Neither of them delivered like I thought they might.

I thought the Microsoft conference was great. By no means enough to convince me to jump in at launch, but enough to reassure me the system may be worth owning in its first year on the market. Basically the attitude I have towards Wii U, which I'm yet to buy.

Some great games, some duds, surprisingly well paced conference. That price, particularly here in the UK, is too steep for me to justify at the end of the year, particularly if I've got a Wii U purchase to make. All said and done, though, a very good start to E3.

Above average for me. Forgive me, but the whole DRM/used game issue thing is really disheartening to me that even if the games are superb, it won't matter... -_-'
