Calm Before the Storm

Stinkles

Clothed, sober, cooperative
Nothing much has been happening all week, because folks are holding their cards and secrets for E3. However, next week, French magazines and squirrely editors will blow bits of it wide open as the "watertight" on sale and to-subscriber dates they promised to get their exclusive stories, completely break down. Next week will be a little preview of E3 thanks to lucky subscribers, crooked print plant employees and incompetent mag editors.

I couldn't even access GAF for like 3 days straight last week. Thank g-d that happened before Stella Deus got boring.

Seriously, we need to come up with an E3-GAF-Alternative, or something.
 
I missed out on DC++ last year, despite having a client installed. I suppose I'll get that up and running. Do we have an official thread for it yet? Has it been created yet? (Search doesn't work for me.)

But GAF's server has been showing cracks already... how will it ever cope under E3 pressure?
By curling into the fetal position and sucking on a bottle of Jack. This place is going down harder than Paris Hilton.
 
Just changing servers weren't they? Normal maintenance. The forum didn't crash last year i doubt it will this year.
(well maybe it with crash if Nintendo is having a bad E3, the hackers may fight back) ;)
 
I hope you're right Stinkles :)

But I do hope the board stays up. We're on a new server now, right? RIGHT?

Why the french magazines especially? Not that I really care where the leaks come from, but I don't really understand why it would come from us frenchies and not from our notoriously talkative neighbours in the UK ;)

Well, I'd say there is a reason why both spong and gamesindustry.biz are both from the UK. I don't know where the leaks come from, but the facts are that some of the biggest leak and/or lies sites are from there.
I don't say the professional journalist from Future and other press groups are responsible for these leaks of course.
 
Dude, it seems to me like you have a pretty hard time keeping your info to yourself. Not that I mind, but...

True enough, but I certainly never leaked anything, even though I was not bound by any legal agreement. I hinted at some stuff, confirmed a few things, but that's it. I never talked about the halo 2 map pack before it was announced, I never mentioned the MTV stuff before it was announced (only said that MS could have some other means to show X360 before the E3 press conference).
I'd say there is quite a difference between this and sending some images or the complete specs of a new system to a site for example, especially since to get this you had to sign a NDA in the first place. But you are of course free to disagree :)

Funnier than you will ever know.
 
i dont think ist calm...

many publishers already revealed their news games. ea for example with burnout revenge, ssx on tour, new james bond... or namce with soul calibur III and urban legends or sony with jak x, ratchet deadlocked, socom 3...

like last year, there wouldnt be that much new games at the show (especially the next gen things this year).
