E3 2010: ENN: E3 News Bytes - 6/17/2010

I may have had a similar reaction in digital format. Instead of jumping out of the chair, it was new tab, punch in site, pause video while loading, sign up, squeel like Kathleen around a kitten. No one was around or saw it, thus my manliness remains intact.

I also have to agree with everyone else who has said it. Best sign ever.

 

[addeB]

Haha, the play again button didn't pop up for me!

 

[MaraJade03]

"Thanks Wikipedia!"

That was great. Poor Jeremy still has to deal with all that 3d stuff and now Lasers!!!

"Brought to you By Sand, It's everywhere get use to it"

"Returning you to an Escapist Logo with a play again button" Legend of a sign off. Great episode guys...I felt like I was really there.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Irony. It didn't actually have a "play again" this time.

I was about to mention that.

You know... I still don't see how anyone would be upset that you can turn off the 3D...

It's not so much the fact that you can turn it off as it is the fact that all games will be designed to use it, and playing with it turned off will probably be harder to visually process. Never mind the fact that developers will essentially have to make every game in 2D and 3D, thus probably raising game prices a fair chunk...

I broke into hysterical laughter at the mention of the word "LazerComb". Maybe it's just my memories of that e-mail being read on Joystiq's podcast.

That e-mail is brilliant.

 

[Cadmian]

Nice try sneaking the "37....in a row" into the video.

 

[Distorted Stu]

Beta.. *WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH*
Graham Stark has left the building.

 

[Ridonculous_Ninja]

Oh god the "You'd never hit me" was just so mean, but I laughed so much...

 

[SomebodyNowhere]

I enjoyed the whole Silent Hill 37 ... in a row joke.

 

[7ru7h]

Nice try sneaking the "37....in a row" into the video.

Yes it was. I actually had to go back and rewatch part of the episode because I loled so hard after that.

 

[Denamic]

What?
What phonies!
There's no play again button!

 

[masqueblanc]

Irony. It didn't actually have a "play again" this time.

That is exactly what I thought. Does that make us both really sad, or way more awesome than everyone else?

 

[Virgil]

Nice try sneaking the "37....in a row" into the video.

Agreed, that was beautifully done.

 

[Megido]

I hope that this 3D phase ends quickly. I don't understand why movie makers, and game developers think we give a shit. Unless a game is going to be truly 3D, and I mean complete with a headset, or whatnot so that you can look around you, and be fully immersed, then I couldn't care less. Then again, maybe 3D games will end up being really awesome, and I'll have to eat my words, but only time will tell.

Also, I appreciated the Clerks reference. I was also appreciating Kathleen's chest. Not sure how I never noticed how nice it is before. Wait, can I get banned for saying that? OH JEEZ, SEXUAL HARASSMENT SUIT!

 

[ritchards]

Liked the MST3K reference!

(And I did have a "play again" button!)

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

Jer should be careful about badmouthing lasers. They have a big brother now. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/101448-The-Closest-Thing-To-a-Lightsaber-Now-For-Sale]

Also loved the signoff. Poor Kathleen, though. She finally had the power and didn't know what to do with it. Maybe next time!
