As you all know, this E3 thing is this week. HA! Did you know? I was only vaguely aware because I read the better blogs.

But here’s what I was wondering. Do players, y’know, just gamer people, go to this thing? I’m thinking they do. This strikes me as far too much of a commitment to a hobby than I’m willing to give. Is it me? Am I wrong?

Everything’s leaked on the net two hours after it’s finalized anyhow, so how could there possibly be any unheard of, unseen shiny?

Nevertheless, plenty of blogs and news sites are covering the amazing! must-see! fun of an industry media event convention, including one blog, that I won’t name, with a fucked newsfeed that sends all their old posts as new material every time my feed reader refreshes. (Ever hear of adding your own feed to a reader to check that it’s operational?)

Best coverage that I’ve seen is Amit’s of These Damned Machines Are Killing Me. Of the myriad sites providing wall-to-wall, he’s one of the few that isn’t just pumping up the punctuation on press releases and doing a reblog.

Sure hope the food gets better for him, brave lil trooper.
