I'd give it a B+. Nice amount of humor, all games coverage, no Kinect gyrations, exclusivity agreements just as subtitles on screen, not spoken with pauses for applause, good variation in genres. As far as the actual games though, a lot of multi-platforms, another Halo remake, and almost...

So is this the only Xbox-exclusive new franchise this conference?

Man, MS isn't giving these people much time to get to EA Conference.

Dragon Age Inquisition

Again kids, indie XBLA/PSN exclusivity is the only battlefront that matters this gen.

No, those games or their betas will be out this year.

Nov 11th? Is a remake pack really their last game for the year?

I love the self-humor in this conference. I still think PS4 wins this gen, but I don't think it will be as big a blowout as it looks at the moment.

Insomniac's lack of success in the PS3 era was one of the worst aspects of last gen, hopefully they have some luck this gen.

I guess DA is still supposed to be out this year. I was wondering, given the lack of press.

Nah, they said 2014 games. Maybe Halo Remakes, maybe they bought Ass Creed DLC window, given Phil's shirt.

Now announcing the CoD / MGS crossover, The Phantom Limb.

So are we not launching directly to a game since the only options are Halo and CoD and everyone has seen them a million times?

Err, yeah, the actual Show Floor isn't open until tomorrow.

Again, as we move into more and more annualized sequels, there's less possible announcements to be made - you can hardly talk about the 2015 and 2016 Call of Duties before this year's version is out, even though they're well in production elsewhere (and using up a large chunk of Activision's...

Any other E3 I would say the only answer was the Live Commentary over at Giant Bomb, but I dunno how things will go with Ryan Davis dead :\

No, like almost all non-hardware years, Nintendo will have the best exclusives. I'll be far more interested in the Sony and MS conferences, since those will have the games I will actually be playing, on my PC.

Uhh, yeah, 80+% of disc-based games come out only in March/April/October/November nowadays, outside of timed sports releases. Blame stock reporting. And personal taste and all that, but this has still been a decent year with a lot of solid games - Bravely Default, Donkey Kong Country, South...

Yeah, that's a pretty standard deal. It does only further confirm that the 49ers have one, maybe two seasons left before they fall back to the pack just due to salary cap reasons; they have to curse daily that a division rival fell into the same low cap situation nearly at the same time they did.

1) Virtually everyone thinks Ballmer ridiculously overpaid, and the Jaguars sale is a much closer comparison for the Bills. 2) Looking into coverage of it, many people think it was essentially a speculative purchase - that new TV deals, another possible crushing of the players' union, and...

Who cares about that, it's Jeff from Coupling (British) as Lead Dude. (I still find it weird seeing Steve in the Pirates of the Carribean movies.)

I am eagerly awaiting but also intentionally not watching previews for this. I guess the gameplay is Bastion + VATS, essentially? And I assume everyone is an AI in some computer-world?

Bleh, I made the mistake of skimming through that script (and stopped even doing that after I saw verbatim chunks of dialogue from the second trailer), but the script makes the movie situation (apparently) clearer: this isn't the start of the downslide, this is decades after the low point...

My only show that got the axe was Community; finding my reaction to be mostly indifferent, even to the re-Harmonized version.

Brady is getting old, and Mallet has to be paid or released soon. Not particularly surprised, and who would you prefer here instead? McCarron?

Frank Gore is old, and virtually everyone runs with two+ RBs nowadays.

Titans have the next pick - and only have Shonn Greene for a "real" RB. Wouldn't shock me if first RB goes here.

Had to go out to dinner, so my quick takeaways: 1) Shocked one of the two safeties was still around for GB, without having to spend picks to move up. Fucking awesome. 2) Bucs really are aiming to be Bears South, with the McCown to Vincent Jackson/Mike Evans combo. 3) To be honest, the Browns...

On one hand, I heavily expect the Raiders to trade down. On the other hand, McKenzie seems to legitimately worry for his job and needs a star, despite the terrible hand he was dealt with to start.

Guy on the Dave Dameshek podcast this week said the teams do it intentionally on their own, since the announcers aren't talking about any other team during those ten minutes, and like anyone else cares about the, say, Browns the rest of the year. The first five minutes they probably are...

Seriously, when was the last year the #1 pick wasn't overwhelmingly clear the day after the college regular season ended? The amount of human effort expended on nonsensical theoretical #1s every year stuns me.

Archer Renewed for Seasons Six & Seven

Sigh, the Packers get to be the first win-less team... for a week, at least. And congrats to the Redskins for beating the Cowboys on SNF to win the division on Dec 28th. Not the team I was expecting to win that division, but the tradition must live on.

Miriam Lass was brainwashing, not amnesia. Chilton's entry wound looked survivable - that exit wound did not. Gonna be disappointed if he lives.

I won't say I didn't like it, but the things I found most entertaining were the Danny Pudi cameo and just how much in the River Tam / Illyria mold Scarlet Witch turned out. Much like Thor 2, I think the script needed another pass or three.

Removing cooldowns doesn't bother me (just raise non-cooldown damage by X and call it a day), other than the hint of "We can't come up with unique effects for every spec, so we'll just remove existing ones from the other specs until every spec has an equal number." I still have zero faith in...

It feels like the mathematical average of Season 3 (the good of Chaos Theory averaged with the "bad" of Drematorium). Next week is the GI Joe episode. I'm already prepared for it to not be half as good as Venture Bros' OSI/Sphinx shenanigans.

I appreciate that, knowing next season is the end, they are shrinking the longterm cast down to the inevitable Boyd vs. Raylan showdown, while finally giving Boyd foot soldiers of a competence level equal to his stature in the crime scene (and capable of not getting taken down instantly by the...

1) A lot of times with first time head coaches, they raid the side of the old team they were responsible for. The only relevant Bengal is Tackle Anthony Collins, and I hear the Redskins are indeed interested. 2) With a rebuilding team, the wise move is to just not get involved, at all, for 48...

I do admit to liking the Broncos going for it in the little time they have left with Manning. The 2016 or 2017 version of the Broncos is going to be terrible, but at least they are giving it a shot while they can.
