I'll give a listen to this when I have free time. I think the future is just full of the same numbered sequels with dark themes, except for Nintendo, which is why I think Nintendo won this year IMO. Microsoft dug themselves into a hole last year, so they couldnt do worse. Sony was the same as last year, except with more services and electronic equipment added. Nintendo had a fun colorful palette of games and Japanese wierdness that I like in my gaming choices. I guess Batman is exciting. I guess? Dat No Mans Sky though!

Update: Ok. Great podcast. It's true that gamers are informed about games before release so there isn't much surprises to show. Overall, I thought that Nintendo Tree House was great and showed off their gameplay really well as opposed to just trailers like everyone else. 

I think I'm going to have to spend the next couple weeks checking out some of these streams just to see the coverage I didn't get from the websites I visit.

This was the best podcast of all time. Julian was right, this was custom built to put a smile on my face. You resurrected the ghost of Pixlbit past in bringing on JBone, and on top of that this was the first time that you had JBone and Nick on an NWP, right? It was funny, entertaining to listen to, and to place a cherry on top you all embraced the truth. Golf got no limits. I never thought about it that way until Jules brought it up, but EA could totally mine that idea out with other EA properties. Golf courses with a Mass Effect twist etc. That sounds ripe for DLC to me, I hope somebody at EA thought of that. If not they better listen to NWP.

As E3 went on I found that the press conferences that each company held were the worst way to show off the games. The conferences only went skin deep, and only on a handful of games. The good in-depth stuff all came during Twitch live-streams afterwards and news coverage afterwards.

I watched a bunch of the Nintendo Treehouse stream and saw a ton of 3DS and Wii U stuff they didn't show at the Direct. I watched the Gamespot stream and saw like 45 minutes of Shadow of Mordor gameplay which finally sold me on that game and blew my mind, and I watched a bunch of the Giant Bomb live-streams and video content. I learned more about Bloodborne and MGS V: Phantom Pain by watching the Giant Bomb stuff and now I'm super excited for both of those games. Patrick Klepick went to the showing of Bloodborne and asked a lot of question directly to Miyazaki that Souls people should be excited about. If you're interested in hearing their impressions of Bloodborne and MGS V they have that archived on youtube in this video: Giant Bomb - E3 Coverage Uncovered

Splatoon looks like a pretty fun riff on the types of paint mechanics and tech that were used in Tag: the power of paint, and eventually found their way into Portal 2 when Valve hired the Tag people from Digipen. I loved the paint tech in Portal 2 and Tag, I was wondering when somebody else was going to riff on those ideas and do something with them. It figures Nintendo would be the guys. Splatoon looks pretty fun, but in the big picture it's only a curiosity. I can't get hyped for a multiplayer only shooter on Wii U that will probably be downloaded and might even have some f
