It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
With the new game announcements
And everyone's prouncement "E3 is HERE!"
It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
It's the fap-faptastic weekend of all
With those company greetings as well as competing,
With charts for you all
It's the fap-faptastic weekend of all

There'll be lots of liveblogging
Sad fanboyish ogling
And games that will make you say "Whoa"
There'll be some disappointment
And people who will vent how
E3 kicked ass long ago

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
There'll be some gamers gloating
And minds will be floating
When all the crowds cheer.
It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

There'll be lots of liveblogging
Sad fanboyish ogling
And games that will make you say "Whoa"
There'll be some disappointment
And people who will vent how
E3 kicked ass long ago

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
There'll be some gamers gloating
And minds will be floating
When all the crowds cheer.
It's The Most Wonderful Time
It's The Most Wonderful Time
It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Yet Another Note From News Reporter Jelly

And with yet another revolution around the sun, we are now hot on the heels of the most anticipated yearly gamer event around -- the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3 for short. Much to our delight, this year promises to be packed to bursting with excellent news on all fronts of gaming. Whether or not said things are new developments or teased for long periods of time beforehand, this promises to be a most spectacular time for each of us enthusiasts in our favorite (or close to favorite) hobby.

Taking a cue from my previous RPM mega thread, I will most definitely try to rise to the occasion and keep on updating the thread in a way that is both timely and easy to digest. However, since things tend to move relatively quickly during E3 time, there is always the slight chance that I might miss an update or two as things move along. At that time, I will ask for all of your help to make sure that things keep moving at a decent pace.

Final notes from me on this all: no flaming, no trolling, no psuedo trolling, no fanboy agendas, and no riling up folks. It'd be best if you all just kept whatever thoughts you had along those lines to yourself. With that all said, kick back, relax and have fun with the rest of RPM!

Man, I remember the time when E3 trailers were shown on E3 and not on days before. Oh well.

Paul Robertson love in Scott Pilgrim. Gonna be AWESOME

[Protoman Blues]

Where's the JX key for Jericho Exclusive? 

Also, always nice to see my lyrics up there.  I could write new ones every year if you'd like?

Finally, at least I'll get to see 1 hour of the Nintendo Conf. before I have to leave for college.

[Jericho]

Well, fresh yearly lyrics are always welcome, but I thought tradition would call for the first set. Meanwhile, I must say that I really didn't expect to see this take such a long time to set up.

[Protoman Blues]

It took so long you forgot to change the title's year! 

[Jericho]

It took so long you forgot to change the title's year!  

Whoops, taking care of it now.

EDIT: Thanks for getting it beforehand actually.

[Protoman Blues]

Glad I Could Help.

Meanwhile, I'm sad I'm going to miss some half of the Ninty conf. and all of the Sony Conf.  Damn final!   

[Jericho]

Damn indeed. That conference has the most to potentially offer imo.

[Bueno Excelente]

Urgh, hate my time zone. Probably gonna miss everything.

[Protoman Blues]

Hmmmm, perhaps when I get home, I'll watch the re-showing of it before I hit any other websites, just to try and keep the suspense.

[CephiYumi]

You can still see them, jus not live o.o

[VixyNyan]

I'm going to watch the live conferences at my job on a powerful PC. ^^b

[Bueno Excelente]

You can still see them, jus not live o.o

Yeah, but it's like taping a game. You just know someone you know is gonna spoil you the score.

[Protoman Blues]

Yeah, but it's like taping a game. You just know someone you know is gonna spoil you the score.

"I WANNA GO IN FRESH!" - Frank Costanza

Meh, we'll see if I care enough.  I'm sure all the cool vids & promos will be up before I get home anyway.

[Solar]

Damn indeed. That conference has the most to potentially offer imo.

Indeed, seeing how it's 2 hours then it's either going to be the most amazing one, or the most disappointing. Good thing I asked my parents a day off from work

Also, I must know what I'm supposed to be singing the E3 song to.

[Protoman Blues]

The X-Mas Song, It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!

"I WANNA GO IN FRESH!" - Frank Costanza

Meh, we'll see if I care enough.  I'm sure all the cool vids & promos will be up before I get home anyway.

Alright, I'm done crying. Time to do something about it. Gonna get all of my work-related issues sorted out, reprogram classes, get morning stuff done, and then GET HOME AND WATCHAN EVERYTHAN.

Gonna be AWESOME.

[Protoman Blues]

I'm just gonna skip my final. 

[Acid]

Luckily I'll be home for the big shows.

[Sub Tank]

Just let me know when they show off the DS3.  I can't wait for all the 3D porn japan will make.

[CephiYumi]

I'm just gonna skip my final. 

PB! *finger waggle*

[Protoman Blues]

Just let me know when they show off the DS3.  I can't wait for all the 3D porn japan will make.

My Bloody Valentine 3D failed to deliver proper 3D Tits, so hopefully this makes up for tit.

PB! *finger waggle*

 

Fiiiiine, I'll go!

[irgpie]

I just so conveniently have exams scheduled on all days of E3. Luckily they're only an hour and start at 9am, so I shouldn't miss too much. Also, this thread now has me wondering what all of you do for a living.

Edit: stop posting so fast, people ._.

[Protoman Blues]

See this is why I prefer night classes.  So I don't miss this kinda stuff.

● LucasArts Presents: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II (V)

Nice.  Maybe I ought to try actually playing the first one.  God knows I've owned it long enough.
(what can I say, when I think Star Wars games, I think star fighters)
