A bunch of shit we already knew about presented in boring, several-hour presentations that we will watch anyway.

Yup.

[Phoenix Dark]

Apparently the Nintendo Direct will only be 30 minutes 

[Eel O'Brian]

I dunno enough about Nintendo to even hazard guesses. Last year I had pretty good luck pulling overall E3 predictions out of my ass, but this year I really can't even think of anything wacky. Gonna be long and boring, and I have to sit through all of it for the podcast

- Last gen system price drops
- Sony rushes back on the stage after the press conferences shouting "Oh shit the vita! Damn it, someone throw Akiba's Trip up on the big screen asap!" Akiba's Trip also wins game of show
- This year's summer steam sale is next year's PS+ lineup
- Alienware updates the X51 to look like their steambox mockup cause screw it, the design is nice and they should do something useful with it
- Giantbomb's E3 podcast are the highlight of the show
- Everyone thinks the Nintendo Direct stream crashed 5 minutes before the end. nope, that was just it

[cool breeze]

30 minutes is more than adequate.  nintendo doesn't have to waste time bragging about sales or showing third parties games.

they'll probably show all of the games they announced last e3 but still haven't been released (so bayonetta 2,x and that yoshi yarn game) announce another new smash bros character (just as long as he was in some wii or 3DS game a while ago) and then announce whatever IP they still keep doing but haven't still done on the wii u, that leaves kirby,zelda and i guess another random game involving mii... if we are lucky the 3DS might get like 2 whole whooping new game that are actualy interessing and not boring throwaway stuff like donkey kong king of swing or something

there have been a rumor of a "mario maker" game, it sounds stupid enough to be believable

Prediction? Nerds will rage for stupid reasons.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna go. My wife is out of town and my parents are watching the kiddo. Gonna hit up a craft beer bar before and then roll in at 5:30 and piss off some poor bastard who's in the wait list line praying to their Sony Gods that they'll be let in. And I ain't gon' give a fuck.

[Eel O'Brian]

Overall price drop for 360, or (long shot) new cheap discless unit
