I usually watched the full conferences of the big three by tradition.

This year I'm just gonna check the news for games that pique my interest and watch Youtube vids of the trailers.

I can do fine without the hours of bragadaccio wax-poetic "we sold this many units" talk.

I'm going to watch the Valve conference. Aka, a 6 hour long video tape of Gabe Newell eating donuts and refusing to answer questions about Half-Life 4.

Watch it. It's worth it for the lol's, plus it feels good to hear a great annoncement live.

Just like a lemming.

;P Actually i'm particularly excited for that conference myself. Banjo 3 woot! + crackdown, scalebound, and just a general feeling that Sony doesn't have much, hope i'm wrong though.

Nah, I'll stick to the headlines the day after. Watched the conferences in full for the last few years and have regretted it nearly every time. Just a personal thing really, since I don't think they've gotten worse or anything. Actually, some of them might've improved compared to what we had two or three years ago. I'd really like to see new Mass Effect footage live though... but I probably won't.

Since the live content of E3 is during when I work, I will have to settle with checking with the headlines and watching archived videos.

I will watch some. It's nice to see the reactions to reveals, but it just becomes tedious. Too many press conferences. A lot of the on stage shit is so scripted and unnatural. It puts me off.

I always watch the "twins" podcasts. Since Nintendo hasnt been having them, I usually just catch the highlights of Nintendo's E3 Direct (aka, I just fast forward until they talk about Zelda, and click out)

I think it's a lot of fun to watch all the conferences via stream, even EA's and Ubisoft's. It's fun to get hyped for announcements that may or may not happen, and it's also fun to see people's reactions in real time. It's also just one day out of the year, so it's hardly a huge time commitment.

I usually end up watching them all in pieces eventually, but attmitedly I do so for the laughs. I've never seen an industry so awkward in public speaking/presentation.

Most of my e3 time is spent watching trailers based off the highlights.

Nintendo usually put on the best show with the best announcements and the most gameplay footage, so I'll watch theirs.

As for the others...I might watch that PC one?

I usually try to watch what I can. If I'm at work, I have the conferences on in the background so I'm listening to them and if something that I'm interested in pops up I'll usually pull it up to view it.

Otherwise, I'll glance headlines for the ones I've missed and if it looks like I missed a lot of good stuff I'm interested in I'll watch a video of it in full.

If I watch an entire conference it'll be Nintendo's. Otherwise I'll be checking the stories that interest me most. Most other conferences focus on CG cutscenes and such. Nintendo usually shows what a game will actually be like.

I normally watch E3 live but this time it seems like I'll have to download conferences from Youtube once whole thing is over, since my new internet connection sucks donkey balls. Thinking about going back to old connection. If that happens then live...

Don't think I'll be watching Sony's. Last year it was at 3AM.

Others(if possible) I'll watch on the Giantbomb stream.

I always watch them all. And if I can't do it live then I watch them on youtube. Reading the headlines is not as exciting.

Mine too. I've taken off work to watch them in the past, but it seems new games they announce dont come out for 3+ years.

We'll have a podcast though!
