Well today marks the official opening of this year's E3, which marks the first show I'll miss since before my first one, which was in 1997. This is a bit upsetting, because I am one of the few folks I know that actually enjoys the atmosphere of the show, which is like being inside a giant pinball machine, but as you can probably tell already, this is going to be by far our best-ever effort at keeping up with the flood of news from the show, something that's really impossible while attending, so it's all for the best.
