It was at this point where I said, "Screw it. I'm jumping on the E3 hype train." It's easy to sit back and cast a cynical gaze upon the whole thing while typing "meh" more times than you actually use in real life, but it's tons more fun to follow along and actually get excited about things.

It would've been better for it to be named... Amiigo, you know, friend in spanish, a lot of english speakers now it from movies, tv shows, etc, anyways...

I prefer it this way where not everyone who comes on the floor looks like a corporate shill. Someone dressed like they work in a bank does not inspire me to buy their games. Someone who looks like an actual every day gamer might though. If a guy comes on stage in a tutu I am more likely to buy their games than someone…

That is a nightmare scenario and I'm glad everybody's alright, hope the piece of shit gets caught and gets what's coming to them.

UPDATE - IGN has since amended the story to say the original report came from IGN Russia, and now writes "We're committed to getting the full story and will be updating this piece with more information as it develops."

In IGN Russia, The Last Guardian cancels you.

I refuse to buy or play any King.Com game. They disgust me with their shady business practices, lies and hypocrisy. Little disappointed in you Mike but it's your choice who you patronize. The only way I would ever play one of their games is if they paid me, paid me so much that they would be broke and go out of…

I feel this. I did a short stint at game company back in 08. Like a month or so into the job is when the economy took a nose dive. It also didn't help that we were made to think we were hired on by the company until the last day of our two weeks of training when they were like, oh, yeah you are all contract. …

Alternative idea: don't subsidize the playgrounds of billionaire's sports teams; save massive money for the city.

I spent my time in the video game industry too, and got laid off at one point. Once rehired, I worked for the same company for some time, seeing wave after wave of new layoffs.

So a man, advised by a physician not to travel overseas is seen as distancing yourself from advertisement? What the fuck man? Jet lag puts terrible stress on the body, if he has something that can get worse, then why risk the chance of dying from that in another country? Do you really want a dead Iwata on the E3…

Fuck the people here. The amount of disrespect is alarming. Pissing and talking shit TO A SICK PERSON? What the fuck is wrong with you people? I usually don't do this but I hope you get so fucking sick you can't even turn on your precious "next gen" consoles. FUCK YOU.

"You won't be seeing Mr. Iwata in person at E3 next week," they wrote in an e-mail. "He's been instructed by his physician not to travel overseas in the immediate future, and so he will not be making the trip to Los Angeles. Please understand that it is business as usual for Mr. Iwata, and he continues his normal…

Looks like his body isn't ready, but Reggie will be there to replace him. I hope he'll get better soon!

Having the backstory of characters and their personalities will probably be significant to your enjoyment of the game.

Still the best version! Some stank but a lot of the G1 toys were epic in their ability to actually look like the vehicle they were supposed to be, without too much bumpf.
