Unto the Breach

And so, today marks the last day of normal work for at least a week, as starting Monday, I descend into the cesspit of over-stimulation, poor bodily hygiene, and booze that is E3.

Seeing as it will be Microsoft's second (calendar) year on the X360, hopes are high for quality content to be forthcoming. But, more importantly, most people want to know wtf is going on with the PS3 and the Wii (*chuckle*).

Checking the pre-E3 lists, most companies are keeping their cards close to their vests, but the major announcements will have hit by the time I set foot on the show floor.

Next week's venues:

Tuesday - Nintendo press event/party. Last year, they had Maroon 5 playing... which was fairly disappointing, considering that Microsoft had both the Killers and the Chemical Brothers playing (which was all the more sweetened by attending that portion of the show in the company of Tetsuya Mizuguchi).

Wednesday - Who knows? Trying to organize a casual dinner with friends, but could very well get sucked into attending a dinner with the execs.

Thursday - Sony party @ the Dogder's stadium. Going to be running late to that one, as I have a dinner with some developers overlapping by about an hour.

No Microsoft party for me this year =
More news to follow from the show floor!
