E3 2006 Page

This year E3 is going to be pretty busy. I am sure I will be making a ton of posts each day on the events that are going on and what I think of them. To make it easy to keep track of everything that I post and to make it easy to find information on each console this year, I created a page for E3 2006. You can get to it by clicking on the button at the top of the page or by clicking right here.

Once E3 starts, those pages will have a list of links to each of my posts for the various consoles and a quick description of what the post is about. So instead of searching through a bunch of entire posts here on the main page, you can just head over there to get a list with short descriptions of each post that I have made so far.

Also, feel free to contribute once everything starts going by letting me know of news items that I may have missed and by making comments about what you think. Hopefully we can have a bunch of cool information and discussion here once it starts up.

Game List

I added a games page to the site where I am going to list all of the games that I currently own. I still have quite a few to add for older consoles like the NES and Genesis, but right now I have my PC, Gamecube, Xbox, Xbox 360, Nintendo 64, and Playstation games listed. You can view it by clicking the games tab at the top of the page.

Some Halo 3 News

So it seems that Microsoft is terrible at keeping secrets. Just about every rumor that comes out ends up being true. It is now official that Halo 3 will be at E3 in video form during the Tuesday, May 9 news conference. The video is supposed to be about 2 minutes long, though what the video contains is unknown. Expect to see real in-game footage as always. The game itself is not likely to come out until 2007.

New Look

So, a while ago I decided to upgrade the software for the website. After I did that I started looking at plugins and stuff to make the site a little less boring. So I started out adding RSS feeds and stuff to the site but decided to change the entire theme as well to give me more space to work with. Hope you like the new look.

Nintendo Revolution renamed ‘Wii’

At first I thought this must be a joke, but sadly it isn’t. The name (pronounced “we”) is meant to invoke the feeling of cooperation that comes when people play games together. Further, Nintendo said, the written name is meant to visually conjure up the image of two people standing together.

Wii? Imagine walking into a Best Buy this fall and asking the salesperson if they have any Wiis in stock. Actually, don’t. Because when I did, my head started to hurt a lot. Or asking your buddy, “hey did you pick up a Wii yet?” “Yea, it’s in my pants.”

I’ve always marveled at Nintendo fanboys for being more blindly sheep-like and trusting than even Apple fanboys. If Miyamoto told them the sky was green like Link’s clothes, half of them would believe it. But right now I have a hard time seeing even the hardcore Ninty faithful getting behind this one.

Revolution was a cool name. Wii is a joke.
