Brian "razzle-dazzle" Reed is not a good nickname, no matter who it comes from.

Lark and I ran into Sylar walking to the Aquabats Concert

Bionic Commando Rearmed is fun to play and Monday will have an amazing announcement about when we will all be able to download it.

You can never get enough schwag.

When MC Lars was dissatisfied with crowd response he proclaimed, "That was so emo. I want SCREAM-O!!!!!"

The new Aquabats TV show is 13 years too late, but still 100% Super Rad!

Badger and I hit the road in support of burgers and finding the awesomest content available at Comic-Con.

FACT: In-N-Out is what a burger is all about.

While I can't seem to locate the Homer tour segment--from Thursday's live stage show--where he came around and asked all of us questions about the Expo, I do have a link to the Lord of the Rings segment where I asked user questions and a couple segments that I hosted with the famed Koji Igarashi, creator of Castlevania. Spending those few minutes talking to him (albeit through an interpreter) was really full of honor and win.

I have been playing my Castlevania Double Pack and obsessively collecting 100% of the souls in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow on my DS. Not only has playing these games helped pass the time on the train between home and work, but also has gotten me really excited about the impending release of Order of Ecclesia.

Over all, my first E3 was not only a memorable one, but also a heckuva lot of fun. Never in my wildest imagination would I have expected to be covering the biggest games of E3 (and outside of E3, thank you for coming by Activision), let alone hosting segments for the hottest games of the show. Thanks to the Live, data, production, edit, technical, product, sales, and my community teams for the support and effort over the past week. I sincerely hope you all found our coverage both enjoyable and informative.

See you at Comic-Con!

Day two of our live show was a lot of fun.

I got to lead a look at Crysis Warhead, get mocked for an intentionally quick look at Dawn of War, and possibly blowing the lid off of PSP trophies when taking a look at some great Buzz! games. If you read this, then you've probably seen this. The highlight of the show was not just the look at Bionic Commando on our show, but the opportunity to don that replica arm. The evil (just look at those red eyes) Tom Mc Shea only escaped due to the earnest pleadings of Shaun, Chris, and Lark. Tom, you live to see another day. Make the most of it.

From the live show today, here are my few appearances:

Positing question during the inFAMOUS stage demo.

Ensuring the community is represented by the inquiries made during the Far Cry 2 demo.

Poor Josh gets put on hold. It's okay, we got your question heard.

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 brings the awesome coop action to our live studio show . . . I'm in blue.

I was skeptical of coop Geometry Wars, but it was seriously a lot of fun to play.

I'm the blue guy (again) in this Castle Crashers demo stealing everybody's gold.

We just got video for my performance in Galaga Legions. Following a seemingly consternated look as I take the controller. I played an awesome game I am looking to download very soon. You don't get to see it but, I had the chance to play to the end of the level for an achievement. Sure I gave the rep a hard time for past XBLA missteps, but it was all in the name of voicing my genuine appreciation for the quality crop of games he brought by our show.

Hopefully tomorrow will bring more games and more quality questions from you, the Community.

I don't really enjoy fighting games and I can't really understand a word of this demo, but it has Gatchaman in it. That fact alone means I am getting this.

Pachi-slot Gatchaman was such a disappointment. This may be the world's last great hope for a good Gatchaman game. Now if you will excuse me, I have some Battle of the Planets to watch while I finish packing for E3.

I am!

Hopefully I will see all of your questions on our live show soon!

After watching E3 all these years, it is hard to believe I will be there this year.

I've been listening to the Criterion Games's Crash FM podcasts lately. While I am really excited about the upcoming DLC on July 10, something else the boys at Criterioin have been discussing has been of interest: getting 202%.

How does one beat not only 100% but also 200% in a game? You beat it on two consoles. The first time I played through Paradise, the experience was rather taxing. Tonight I blazed through 200 smashes, 60 billboards, and a decent number of jumps on my office's PS3 in a scant two hours. I have to say restarting the whole experience was just as exciting as the first time I played through this year's first great racer. After spending roughly 120 hours with the 360 version, I've come to know where a lot of the shortcuts, onjectives, and destinations are.

Having completed everything in the 360 version necessary to unlock 101% completion and the platinum finishes, I am seriously considering the smooth voice of GameSpot, Frank Adams, and a particular GameSpot alum in some PS3 burning out. By completing both versions to the zenith of offline possibility, a player qualifies for what the Burnout Team refers to as 202. It is a sick twist on my completion obsession, but one that has never seemed so fun. If any of you have the PS3 version, let me know. I'd be happy to play some challenges online; I'm looking at you Rawr.

I finished MGS4. Turns out I got the inchworm rating. The explanation?

"Title awarded to sneaky soldiers who constantly crawled on the ground."

Secondary awards:

Hyena - Title awarded to soldiers who worked diligently to procure items on the battlefield

Scorpion - Title awarded to expert soldiers who neutralized a small number of enemies, were rarely spotted, and died only a few times.

What was your rank?

If you were expecting the Super Street Fighter II HD Remix Beta download to be available alongside your download of Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3, then you are in for a disappointment.

Update: The Street Fighter Beta will not available for download until June 25.

Be patient and Capcom is sure to have it up.
