Hey all. So a few things on the next podcast:
1) It is coming, I have it ready to go, I just need to do it.
2) I have been crazy busy ... working on a new game actually. And once I get into a project I sort of get sucked into it...
3) When I heard that E3 was "scaled back", and I'll go into this in more detail on the show, I was so damn depressed that I didn't really want to have anything to do with gaming for about 2 weeks afterwards. I didn't play a game, read gaming sites, or do anything gaming related. Even the game I have been working on didn't appeal to me much anymore. But then Dead Rising came out and sucked me back in! That and the fact that it appears that cancelling E3 has done the exact opposite and has caused more gaming conventions to pop-up. Plus ... I found out some very interesting dirt on what happened to E3, and I'll share this with you on the next show.
And those people who submitted articles and such for the site, I haven't written anyone back yet, but will very soon as I have tons and tons of applications to go through. But I'm alive and well, just crazy busy...
So was I.
I was the second site on the internet to report it and it made me sick to my stomach. I'm very interested to hear what information you have on it, but I've felt from the very beginning that Sony & EA were behind it, and then the news came out a couple days later that they actually were, and paid several million each to the ESA to have it done. Absolutely sickening, and you were one of the first people I thought of when it happened, because I could just feel how much you loved E3. Hopefully the CEA can help revive a bit of the magic, and have some kind of event in May to replace it. RIP E3. I wasn't even at E3 2006, but that entire week was some of the most fun I've ever had.
Hope you check out the e-mail I send you too, thanks.
