'kay, Microsoft's E3 media event thing was going on earlier last night. Neat, huh?

When it started, I had a moose of a time trying to watch the conference. Originally, I was going to stream it on the Interwebs through Gamespot, but have G4 as a backup. It turned out to be the opposite...kinda. Gamespot's feed wasn't working for me. I tried Xbox.com and that didn't work for me either. So I decided to tough it out and go with G4, fearing for commercial breaks...and they happened (but mostly during the least important parts of the conference). During these breaks, I discovered a working feed on 1up.com, so I'd alternate between G4 and 1up when commercials came up on TV.

But anyway, onto the conference itself...Uh...I don't remember much and I'm too lazy to look up everything, so I'll just comment on the stuff I remembered.

Rock Band
Hellz yeah...'cept the camera focused on the players rather than the gameplay footage. And I XD'd when Peter Moore accidentally hit the pause button. XD XDDX DXKJFLAKSDjfasld;kfj; lolz. But yeah, can't wait for this game. Need more info, though. Hopefully I'll get that later.

Scene It
Don't care.

Resident Evil 5
FINALLY, we get something new on it...but they didn't even show the full trailer! I have to wait for the 26th to watch it all? Pretty lame? But IMO, this was the best part of the conference, since it was something new and not lame like...

Puke Green Halo 360
WTF? And it's only got a 20 gig hard drive? Lame lame lame.

No Price Cut?
Not that it matters to me, 'cause I already own a 360, but I was expecting an announcement here 'cause of the PS3's recent drop in price.

Assassin's Creed
Neat. I've been looking very forward to this game, if you couldn't tell from my previous Assassin's Creed post. Seeing the actual gameplay, though...kinda discouraging. Framerate wasn't very smooth, and the animation wasn't as beautiful as I've heard. Glitchy, too. I lol'd when a dead enemy got stuck in the air. But climbing crap looks awesome. Hopefully they'll fix all this stuff once the game releases...but I'm a little worried, since it's supposed to be released later this year. I'd be willing to endure a delay to make the game run smoother.

Call of Duty 4
Looks awesome. Public multiplayer beta? Sign me up.

Gears of War PC
Looks VERY awesome. I was like, "HOLY CRAP" at the framerate. A smooth 60 FPS, man. Pisses me off that I essentially traded in my PC for a 360...not like my PC would've been able to handle Gears anyway. ^-^; No announcement of this new stuff coming to 360? I'd gladly pay for it...

Beautiful Katamari
Just hearing Peter Moore say it made me gleeful.

No tattoo?
Damn it, Peter. Pull down your pants and show off that Metal Gear Solid 4 tattoo on your ass!

Uhh...

Halo 3
...cool, I guess? I'll probably get it 'cause I had fun with the multiplayer beta. But I've never been much of a Halo fan.

Blue Dragon Demo
Oh, wait, this wasn't part of the conference...oh well...it's available on the 360 Marketplace now, and I am downloading it.

Other stuff not part of the E3 conference...

Guitar Hero 3
Shown off on Attack of the Show prior to the conference. Still looks like crap. The effect shown when successfully hitting a notes doesn't look satisfying at all. All the effects look pretty unimpressive. Battle mode looks kinda cool, though, but still... It's obvious Harmonix isn't involved in the game. Luckily, there is Rock Band. :D
