I saw a presentation of Glass Rose in a Finnish game TV show last Saturday and it indeed sounds and looks interesting, but it's only for PS2 so it must be crap.

I stay true to my trusty PC, myself. But that's because I don't have any use of a console. They release very few games for consoles that I like and those that I do like are often released for PC also. Psychonauts is the only title that comes to mind right now that I won't be able to play although I very much would like to.

I'd love to own both the PS2 and the Xbox, but sadly I'm poor and have to rely on my much cherished PC. Still, I don't give a damn for the majority of console games, really (at least the U.S. releases). They are, as log p states, mostly sports, racing, and beat-em-up games. I don't give a damn about those genres, they bore me to death. But I do like the very few games, like PS2's ICO, the Silent Hill series (I played the first on PS1, and SH2 and SH3 on my PC), and Xbox with the upcoming Fable. Those are the kinds of games I like for console, I consider them the anamolous games for console. Historically, console games tended to be simpleminded and relied heavily on twitch reactions, never intellectual problem solving or emotionally gripping stories. However, that is now slowly changing as more mature and slower paced concept games are being made (it's about damned time).

Also, realistically, console games take forever to go on sale, unlike PC titles, which can plunge down in price a couple months after release. That I love about PC games, they get cheap very quickly.

BTW, Stinger or Marek or Mr. A.O.C. or etc. - how are you guys networked at E3 so to post minute-by-minute updates? Are you on WI-FI or do you go back to your hotel rooms and connect from there?

Minute-by-minute!? What am I, a machine?

There's wireless Internet in the media hospitality suite. So I can do this with my laptop while sitting on a nice couch in a fairly cooled room.

This will be it for today, though; we don't have Net access at the hotel. We'll post our actual Show Floor Update article tomorrow morning.

One tired correspondent, signing off.

Say hi to Double Fine for me, you bastards

God. It's my birthday, and you guys are at E3 with Double Fine, and I'm here. It's raining here. And there's peanut butter stuck to my foot. Not sure what that's about. But there is, and I can't put on my socks until I wipe it off.

Either you're being ignorant on purpose or you really don't know that 'bonjour' is french, and that it's 'the dutch time zone' not 'netherlands time zone'

Yeah, that's one of the best things with PC games alright. I try to stay away from full-priced games as much as possible.

Where are you staying? Hopefully it's not the Ramada. That place sucks.

Actually, we are. And actually, yes, it does. But half of our team is staying at the Econolodge in Hollywood, so we're counting our blessings. Although they apparently have free porn...

Hollywood? Aaah, that brings back so many memories, as I used to live there! I lived just off the boulevard to the east (near Hollywood and Vine), where the Walk of Fame trickled off.
