Are you getting all happy? I remember getting all excited about going to the CES this year. Then I got there and, whoopdi doo. It wasn't as exciting as I thought. The best part was fighting some vendor in Halo 2. We were pretty evenly matched, but I edged him out.

Hey Jon, if they have it there, make sure to give your impression on the Revolution controller when you get back. that's the one thing that I still find iffy about the new system.

The naysayers seem to all be people who haven't tried it yet. Just about everyone who's actually handled it loves it. Apparently even EGM, usually a bit on the anti-Nintendo side, loves it, and has put the Revolution on the upcoming June issue (as opposed to, say, the PS3). They warn that the scary thing about it will be the line-ups at E3. o_0
If my hands-on impressions are worth anything, I'll likely be glad to give 'em when I get back. I don't know how often I'll be able to log on during the week that I'll be in LA, so you may hear a lot about it before I even get a chance to write anything up.

We just finished our June issue (which will start shipping right when E3 starts). Our cover story? The Nintendo Revolution. After working on this article, I must say, I've gone from "excited" to "OMG super-psyched" for this machine. I can't reveal anything right now, but I think the Revolution will put Nintendo back into the game for this next-gen console war. Forget GameCube and Nintendo 64. If Nintendo can get the right developers backing this system for a few years, it will be a winner. Stay tuned....

Just a little under a week! By this time next week I may have finally gotten to the front of the line to play the Wii Super Smash Bros. game! o_0

I thought they weren't supposed to mail out E3 badges to Canadians, but apparently they did and that's what the picture above is of. If you squint you can make out that it says "Media - Black". That means I have access to the showfloor on the E3 Media Only hours on the first day, and also to the Media Lounge, but I have no idea what the "Black" colour designation signifies.

I'll be leaving in a few hours. I'll try to log in during the week, but I may not have time to say much - I mean, come on, I'm in LA, surely there's other things to see and do. But when I do log in, I hope to see this board more active than it was in the past week...E3 news will probably help spur things.
The irony is that if I can't get to a computer on Tuesday (unlikely), you guys will know more about what's being revealed at the press conferences than I do, despite me being physically nearby.
So that I don't feel like a doof Wednesday morning, I'll probably be hitting the big gaming web sites Tuesday evening, but if I do stop by here, I certainly don't mind you guys telling me what's going down. Don't assume that 'cause I'm down there that I would know any more, as I could easily know less.
