I went to E3! This is actually the third one I’ve ever gone to. Back in 2006 when I was in high school, my friend Sam got I in, where we saw the trailer for Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Still waiting on that one…
Anyway, again, just to clarify before I get started: I’m not a journalist. I don’t even think I write well, like, at all. This is not going to be a good source of news, but I thought it would be fun to write a bit about my time at the expo.
So this was tight
Bloodborne
I honestly feel stupid about how excited I am about this game. This is the next game from Hidetaka Miyazaki, the director of Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls, so that means I already know I’m going to sink 100s of hours into it. My coworkers like to play a game where they bring up Dark Souls and see how long I talk before I realize no one gives a shit that I just beat the final dark chasm of old, or whatever I happened to have been doing in the game lately.
My friend Joe and I got see about 10 minutes of gameplay. 
We got cool shirts!
The Entire Sony Area
They honestly had so many games! I tried out Diablo III, which I am excited about. I love games that I get to play with my girlfriend Shelby, and I think this is going to be one. I miss couch co-op; I’m glad this’ll have it.
I also tried out a delightful game called Entwined, that gave off that Flower, just relax and fiddle with a controller, vibe. That’s definitely a purchase for me.
Then there was Playstation Now, Playstation TV, a ton of Vita games, rows of PS4s, rows of PS3s… It was just a good time.
Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX Plus Alpha
No one didn’t say the name of this game out loud. This add-on lets you play as a huge collection of Capcom characters (even Regina from Dino Crisis) while you plow through a gaggle of zombies (gaggle?)
I Met Yoshinori Ono!
Eeeeeee hadouken!
This was just funny
The Evil Within
I’m really looking forward to this game. Once we’d made it to the Bethesda booth, I was determined to see what they had to show. “Bethesda never actually shows their games here,” my friend Alex said. As we got close, though, I could see that there were small booths with screens in them, and I was sure he was wrong. I ran up right as someone was leaving, and the woman working the booth asked if anyone wanted to go next. “Me me me me!” I yelled like an idiot as I thrust myself into the booth, ready to shoot some whatevers you shoot in this game.
Little did I know that the booth was for you to have your face placed on the box art of the game. It was too late for me to be like “oh I’m not interested” since I just yelled a decent amount with some excitement. Here’s the result.
Ouch my mouth and shit.
As I left the booth, I asked the woman working there “Is there any where I can see the game?”
“The Elder Scrolls Online?”
“No, are you guys showing anything from The Evil Within anywhere?”
“What is that?”
“Nothing, sorry. Thanks.” Dope.
My Sister Won’t Introduce Me to Max Scoville
My sister Natalie works with all of the people from Destructoid. Whenever she brings up how cool it is that she knows all of them, I always ask her to introduce me to Max Scoville because he seems sick as fuck.
I’m hungry.
She still won’t. Thanks Nat.
