Or everything that didn’t happen: which was a lot Thank God we don’t have a billion proper live conferences at E3 this year with both Sony and EA pulling out. I mean sure, it’s nice to laugh at blunders every now and then and really low energy stage hosts that look like they want to be anywhere else, but it gets really, really grating to see the same easily avoidable sad story beats over and over....

Draw, junction, draw, profit 9/9/99 was a pretty special day. I distinctly remember going to my local EBX (an offshoot of Electronics Boutique, a GameStop division) to not only pick up a Dreamcast, but a copy ofFinal Fantasy VIII. And the thing is, while a new system is cause for celebration, I didn’t touch it until I was finished withVIII.

Thanks Reinhardt Every so often I see anOverwatchclip that catches my eye. A few months ago, there was a crucial Genji playthat looked like something out ofSuper Smash Bros. This one isn’t nearly as exciting, but it’s cool all the same that it’s even allowed to happen. What you’re seeing in the video below is a Reinhardt saving his team from certain doom. As a bruiser, he can launch a dash attack that charges an enemy (the same one that actually pushes Genji off the edge above), which is used to counter a self-destruct sequence from D....
