I don't recall seeing a Nintendo wrap-up, but there wasn't really a whole lot to talk about.

Yamster did one, but it was text.

Doc and Dave didn't go to the Nintendo conference, and after seeing it I can't blame them.

Too bad at least one person went to the Nintendo conference, maybe if no one went they would realize something was up. :D

The past two day I left at 11 am got home at 4, then left for work at 4:45.

SG has great little videos to keep me at least somewhat in the loop.

Please, for the love of God, tell me you stopped by THQ and saw Red Faction:Guerrilla. You guys have talked about wanting a real destruction game on a number of your podcasts. By the looks of the press about it RF:G is delivering the goods. I'd love to hear your comments about it.

I wonder if Dave got to play HAWX :lol:

SG's coverage was not bad at all. I guess It would have been nice for three days worth of videos to be more than 30 minutes long, but the Nintendo press conference video and the hotel room one more than make up for it. Damn those were funny.

On a professional scale 5/10:
On a "This is why I love SG in the first place" scale: 10/10
Would I watch if you guys get in next year: Hell yeah

Okay, props for at least doing some semblance of a Nintendo recap. :D I think you should have shown Reggie walking off the stage as the highlight...or someone saying "Nintendo--" and getting cut off. Either would have been amazing. Still, there really wasn't anything to show.

07-18-2008, 04:28 PM
I didn't even watch the Nintendo video. I saw that it was titled "The Good Parts" and then I saw that it was a minute and a half long, and that gave me all the laughs I needed. :lol:

Congrats!

I think DaDillsta's sig says it all.
It got wrapped up MUCH faster than G4 telling me hours of crap I don't care for. Plus they didn't just recite G4's information. Plus it was funny. (Dave running like the Gingerbread Man from Shrek?!)

Maybe the 50th podcast could be an E3 impressions special (maybe an hour long?). I'd loike to hear what Lono has to say on this and other things they just didn't mention.

All in all, good work guys! :thumbsup:

An E3 Podcast would be great but I bet the Blue Show is going to have Sony information from E3 too so they could cover Microsoft stuff, Hawx, etc.

Exactly my thoughts. It gave the information I wanted but it wasn't dull and boring.

Hey guys, I just wanted to take the time to thank you for all the feedback you have been giving us. I know we had a great time covering E3, but without your continued support, none of it would have been possible. Thanks for your continued support.

Aw man, you're so formal! Loosen those shoulders!

Cheers for the feedback, the comments and all of that; we worked our asses off to get this news out and even thought it might not have been liveblogging and it wasn't instantly up there (since some opinion can never go astray even if it delays publishing, since totally makes an article better, seriously) you lot still read up and commented and gave us feedback on here.

Thanks for reading all the articles and watching all the videos; makes everything worthwhile! :thumbsup:

Oh, and Anubis: if you have a PS3 there's a demo of the new Naruto game up for download on the PlayStation Store.

The coverage from E3 was great it was only a shame that Lono had to put his pregnant wife before the gaming community and let the whole side down !! I mean where would we all be today if we all had that sort of selfish attitude ? C'MON Lono stop putting your families needs first and start taking the commities needs into account. By the way congratulations on the birth of your daughter.

That's for PAX, which is at the end of August. (After Quakecon) I had one more thing to say: Did these two threads really need their own section of the forums? I mean, couldn't we have just stickied these two topics in the News section?

Too bad you guys missed the Nintendo press conference...
but im sure it would have been them talking about Wii fit or some crap like that...
If you want a QUALITY console you always turn to Sony...

But they didn't miss it, right? I remember the complaints about Reggie and Ravi DRUMS.
