Well, it's here! It's here! The biggest gaming event of the year is finally upon us! E3 2006! w00tness, w00tness!!!! I watched GameSpot's E3 '05 movie, Electric Showdown, the other night. Man, did that get me pumped! Seeing all the craziness and hard work that they put in just to give us the live gaming goodness we demand made me hyper! I wanna go! Maybe I can find a way next year... <_<...>_>... Anyhoo, G4's coverage starts tomorrow, and I won't be able to watch it for two reasons:
- My summer class starts at 6:30, meaning I'll have to stay downtown after work. Blah.
- The satellite got cut off in my room (again), so I can't watch TV in my room. Period.
Anyhoo, getting back to E3. I'm looking forward to hearing more about:
* The Big 3's press conferences
* PS2:
- Final Fantasy XII
- Xenosaga Ep. III
- Okami
- Dawn of Mana
- King of Fighters 2006
- Sonic (*crosses fingers*)
- Devil May Cry 4
- Metal Gear Solid 4
- Virtua Fighter 5
- Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded (Knights of the Round!!!! FINALLY!!!!!)
- Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins
- Gradius Collection ( ^_____^ )
- Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth
- Power Stone Collection
- Zelda: Twilight Princess
- Final Fantasy III ('bout bloody time, eh?)
- Children of Mana
- Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (two-player Castlevania game? I'm there, baby!)
- Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
- Ninety-Nine Nights
- Phantasy Star Universe
That's my list so far. It shall be tweeked and such as need be. Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll be able to stream Nintendo's and Microsoft's Press Conference at work tomorrow... <_<' yes, I'm doing my work... >_>' no, that's not a video I'm streaming... honest! :P

In terms of gaming, I finally started Disc 2 of Grandia. I'm not going to bother leveling up as much' I just want to finish the game and get it over with. My PS2 is proned to the dreaded "Disc Read Error", and sometimes when I do manage to get a PSone game working, it freezes on me. I'm too scared to open my baby up to do one of those DIY cleaning jobs, so I'm looking into heading for the rental store or somewhere to get it cleaned. In the meanwhile, I'm borrowing my bro's PS2 (he hardly uses it anyway except as a DVD player O_o').
I also started Parasite Eve. Didn't get to far; just finished the First Day. Flipping through the walkthrough in one of my old Tips & Tricks mags, it looks like the game's really short! Heck, if I play through a Day a... er, day, I'd probably be done by Saturday... but since stuff never goes according to plan, the chances of that happening are slim to none :P Anyhoo, the opening movie was well done (as to be expected from Square), and the graphics are pretty. Music's ok, and the battle system isn't that hard to get used to (just gotta remember to press X to get my battle menu to appear... *mumble, mumble*). Still too soon to pass a final judgement, so must continue to wait and see.
Anyhoo, that's all for me. I'm outty. This is DP signing off. And remember: if it's yellow, then it's mellow; if it's brown, flush it down.
Toodles! :D
