First off I will be going to Boston on monday and staying one night. So I will be inactive all of monday and most of tuesday. I am going with one of my friends and his family. My friends sister is attending a camp or something in Boston so I would assume the reason this trip is happening is to pick her up. But the reason my friend and I are going is to see a Boston Red Sox's game. You guys probably know I am not a Red Sox fan (my friend is) but why would a turn down a chance to go to Fenway when my parents are paying for the ticket. So thats that.
Next up E3. In my opinion E3 this year was somewhat boring. Well maybe not boring just the fact that nothing was unexpected. Microsoft set a few release dates and talked up Halo. Nintendo babled on about how much the Wii had sold, gave release dates to two of its big games (Mariio Galaxy and SSBB), introduce the Wii zapper, and WiiFit which I guess was unexpected but I don't find it very exciting. SOny showed off home, a new PSP, and a bunch of games.
Since I am a PS3 owner I'm going to talk about Sony's slightly more in depth. First off PSP: I've never really been a fan of handheld gaming systems but Sony's press conference kind of made me want a PSP. The Star Wars bundle with the special Star Wars PSP and the next Battlefront game particularly looked attractive to me but I probably won't end up getting it. It was great that PS2 got to great (timed) exclusives in Unreal Tournament 3 and Haze, though I don't believe Haze hasn't been confirmed for the 360 so it may be a full exclusive. Both the MGS4 and Killzone 2 trailers were great but nothing over the top amazing. Sony showed off a great number of games but there wasn't a whole lot of new stuff revealed about them. Lastly on E3 I didn't watch to much of the stage demos because gamespots video didn't work to well, just some coverage on G4 here and there plus videos for games that I really wanted to see a day later.
On to the Green Bay Packers Union. The GBPU will be celebrating its one year nniversary on Tuesday. I'm going to be posting a few things and I hope its a great anny. Sadly as I said earlier Tuesday I will be traveling home so I probably won't be home until about 5 PM to post the threads. Oh well.
