All of the press conferences are on Monday, but Ubisoft and Sony are later in the day/ Prime Time on the east coast. Nintendo direct is Tuesday.

I have 3 criteria for new games i may be interested in
1) If it is a new ip: have customizable characters or have any form of mc that isn't a white dude .
2) Not have me immediately going with the first trailer "this seems like it could be problematic/well if i ignore the problematic element it could be a good game..."
3) Be a platformer, rpg, action/adventure, crafting, or sim game .
It's just a given also you have to not look like shit, seem like a shitty game anyways.
If a game can have 2 of those things i can be happy, all three and I'll be elated.
other than that from E3 itself I want one surprise, one thing that will make gamers cry, one thing exceedingly embarrasing/awkward moment, and one genuinely good conference moment/demo/etc .

You know after Bleach revealed that anything and everything have souls, I was wondering when those inanimate things "die" do they get to go to Heaven and what not. Like is there a special Heaven for plants when they get stomped? How does a stapler get judged to see how it lived its life if it has no control over its actions? Do staplers that get two staples jammed when using it go to Hell? They really opened a can of worms with this plot-line that I sure they won't divulge any amount of time on.

Job threads never cease to amaze me on how naive people are be it about resumes (that thread where people were perplexed why hirers would outright disregard resumes from Xxxxgoku_otakuxxxX@animewire.com ) or this one where someone actually thinks employers and employees are equals and the op was in the right for walking out and being pissed .

This thread is hilarious. Why the hell would you just get up and leave in that situation? A reasonable person would wait it out or just ask the receptionist when they could expect to speak to a manager/owner.
Should be noted this is the poster from the famous "I was too cheap to buy my date a snack at the theater, so I went into a supermarket and got my car booted" thread, the "Target can't afford to pay it's employees more?!?" thread, and has many threads talking about how he has been unemployed a long time.

eh. well i do agree he's in the right, technically. but there's a difference between "in the right" and "what you should put up with anyway when you want a damn job."

If I needed a job I wouldn't mind waiting for a manager to become available, especially if there's a friendly receptionist willing to make small talk with you there. Some people are so entitled and that's bothersome; yeah the guy could have been more professional instead of making a potential employee wait in the lobby with no time estimate on when they would be seen, but at what point does pride take a back seat to the fact that you've got fucking bills to pay?

Maybe i'm just cynical cause I have a lot more things to worry about in regards to a job interview than waiting a bit. but he could have *asked* a secretary what was going on instead of making assumptions and then walking out indignantly. Also I went to a university that stressed and had services that taught you about doing interviews, they would smh and look at you funny if you told them you walked out due to having to wait 45 minutes before they got to you from when they told you to show up. In a just world employers wouldn't have so much power, but sadly they do and in fact are gaining more power in this economy than they normally would, and unless you plan to work for yourself kinda have to just roll with it as you said.
Edit: added bit of hilarity, he's probably spent more time driving home, making this thread and arguing about his decision on a web forum than he ever did waiting for that interview or going through with it.

oh god that email what the hell
well yeah, that's kinda what i mean. i'm making a distinction between what's "right" in a perfect world and what's not necessarily "right" but is something you have to deal with regardless since it's expected. it sucks, but yeah, it's the way things are and he probably should've waited because that's the reality.

I think he was in the right to be peeved about the waiting, but it became totally on him when he decided to storm out instead of asking and inquiring about what was going on at any point in the 45 minutes.

don't forget about the whiny, entitled email that is most likely being passed around to other employers in the area

i'm not the type to say money >> a good job/etc . But I would say 70k and a potentially bad environment (bad being one where the world doesn't revolve around you???) until the going gets really bad and being able to more comfortable find a new job . Than whatever this dude has done which is now likely just having an embarrassing email and reputation that's probably being spread all around the Atlanta area.
Wow...that email. I would have at least asked if there would have been a better time to come back, especially since they seems awful busy. I do agree it's not professional to at least let you know if things are delayed a bit because of more pressing matters, but damn man.
Dude's screwed.
Edit: Just read the reply email he got...oh god he shot his whole leg off.

It amazes me no matter what he can't see how he fucked up. No it's not that people are just willing to put up with corporate bullshit and love companies, it's that literally being upset over waiting 45 minutes is the bottom of the barrel of corporate bullshit and reacting to it this way shows how self important they feel when it's unwarranted.
oh holy shit he just in the same post said he would "kill" for any interview, but he would not have his time wasted.
An hour of this unemployed man's time is apparently worth more than a human life.

As someone who spent years after college unemployed, I know that even getting that in-person interview is something you fight for. I'd have been willing to sit there all day for a chance to show that I was right for the job. And eventually, through hard work and perseverance, I got not only a job, but a job that I am happy with. I am super sympathetic to unemployed and underemployed people in this country, but Jesus Christ, I hope that OP goes through some traumatic and it finally opens his eyes to the fact that the world is not a perfect place, and he isn't gods gift to the world.
There was a thread a few years ago about a Game Journanlist who was complaining about his lack of work, and then said he was 16 years old or something after people showed him sympathy

also, his avatar just makes the thread, he really thinks he's some sort of king, I can tell.
Here you go
OMG, and then someone asked him what he would think if he was in the employers shoes, would he hire himself.

You get to be picky when you HAVE a 40 hour a week job and are looking to move up to a higher paying career, not when you're unemployed

Dignity and pride is something afforded to those who have never simply had to get by no matter what. but even if that wasn't the case there is a distinction between those things and being entitled and unwilling to afford anyone else any respect or courtesy.

honestly I'd suggest any member to just do what we're doing now but with regards to e3, at least during heated moments.the thing with e3 is that if your gaf isnt up during a conference thread it's unlikely you will be in the moment enough to say something foolish though.
I'm dead
Agreed. If you have some massive Stanning to do, do it the safety of your favorite community thread.
TheAbsolution

Yeah E3 is fine for the most part. Just dont say any stupid crap and you'll be fine.
As far as E3 goes, I'll be watching GT for most
of the first day.
The rest will be split between IGN, GameSpot and GiantBomb for late night analysis.

For the last two years I have even forgotten that there is like, stuff after the conferences to watch and see. I most watch what i can on tv and do the official streams for sony and nintendo and then thats it and i forget a bunch of livestreams of the games itself is a thing until that tuesday when they are happening. I'll probably be watching the nintendo streams mostly and some giantbomb or gamespot stuff.

I'd argue the site in general is more closely moderated during E3. I don't plan on posting in controversial threads, too easy to get sniped if your comment is taken the wrong way.

my Luigi gifs are ready for E3
Even though I have an obvious Nintendo Bias I look at what Twitch and Treehouse have lined up for Tuesday versus what is going on Monday and I go...hmm, Tuesday really is what I want. Discussion will be fun on Monday, don't get me wrong, but all that Nintendo: More smash, surprise games, even more smash, the solidification of their 2014 lineup (X, Bayo 2, SSB Wii U are all promised for this year, so the blowback for some of those missing could be gigantic) plus first real words on Zelda, SMT x FE, Yoshi's Yarn, maybe a date for MH4U, hopefully another Wii U version.
Hell even this fake ass Natsume Harvest Moon plus their hints at Wii U stuff has me hyped as hell.
Sony and MS have to bring it after their successful but lazy ass launch window so far.
