I gave up on the Giant Bomb stream. Technical issues made it a disaster, but far worse was their "we're too cool for all this snark". It's not amusing, it's annoying.
That's true. Hopefully it was only just a one time thing then
Yup, there's no need for these live conferences anymore. Having them live just causes more problems for viewers.
I mean, this seems like the natural flip side to the amazing year of releases we're having. All of the A tier developers have shit that they've announced in the last few years and now it's releasing in one of the best years of games ever. So there's not gonna be a ton of new stuff to announce. Whatever, this E3 has been fine. Every conference had at least 1 game I want to play that I didn't before
Bethesda had Game of the Show tho

I enjoyed the Sony conference. Fun seeing gameplay of stuff they announced. Everyone knew they were announcing stuff way in advance the last two years, it was them setting their stall out, now they are delivering. Within the next year anyway!
It's clear they have an "exclusive" advantage over Microsoft and they are leveraging it.
Ubisoft still the best conference for me.

So E3 remains garbage then.
At least there are a few games to look forward to.

I've been pretty cool on all the conference, so far this year. Sony had some nice looking stuff, but only Monster Hunter really got me excited.
Hopefully GB will have their tech (or hotel Internet) straightened-out before the night time shows start.

Does Dan live in a bomb shelter where he's not exposed to modern media?

My entire thoughts on the conference.
That was a very OK conference. Biggest surprise was Monster Hunter, the rest we pretty much knew about or game we played before. Where was Sucker Punch? RE Remake 2? Dreams? TLOU2? and a bunch of other games? Also, everything is 2018 lol. Jesus, UBISOFT had the best conference in terms of surprises, games, tightness and vibes. I almost forgot, what the fuck was with them hanging bodies? Normally Sony is the one to bring the new IPs.

Outside of EA, all the conferences were pretty good about shutting up and just showing games. Very little fat. And the stuff I'm not personally interested in, were presented in an interesting way at least.

I was waiting for this to start.
Boy, sounds like I missed something. Guess I'll find out what that was once I check GB's commentary in a bit.
That sounds about right.
The DBZ fighting game was at Microsoft, though.

Yeah glad i switched over early on. Shame they couldnt have it run smoothly. As long as tomorrows suff is fine alls forgiven.
Hot take #312301301313213131
My hot take:
Bethesda and Ubisoft had the best conferences. Beth just because Wolfenstein was Game/Trailer of the Show.
Mario + Rabbids was on Ubi's conference

Man Dan re-asking questions he already asked and had answered on the podcast about Spider-man Games and movies is kind of annoying.

Wolfenstein II trailer stay winning, that was a pretty lack luster Sony conference. Seems like everything worth a damn is a 2018 joint.

Spider-Man is not going to look anything like how this demo is playing.

I wonder if they got the guy who played Fisk in Daredevil to do Fisk's voice in this game. It sure sounds like it.
One of his most annoying quirks is when he intentionally acts stupid to get on peoples' nerves.
That will never happen while E3 is still around. They won't get the same level of publicity that way.

Stop asking question!!!!!!
Honestly the thing I preferred from Sony's conference over the others is that it was really just games. Yeah the artists and musicians were a bit silly (though the start was really pretty, I felt), but they didn't have that annoying "park" thing that Bethesda did or people going on and on, or showing off a dumb car.
I'll take the games with minimal talking any day.

"Is that the goblin man?" Not laughing at the fact that he didn't know, just because that is a very Dan way of saying it.

"Is this Insomniac or Sucker Punch?"
Can Giant Bomb hire me? I can remember things after a year.
