Moving on
After much building, rebuilding, and switching between different computers, I finally am back with my second computer. Not only that, I actually went to the new Frys store near me and bought two 512Mb sticks of PC3200 Corsair RAM. So now I have a gig of RAM! Woot! The other two 256Mb sticks will just be lying around until I find a use for them. I could use them seeing as I have 4 RAM slots on my motherboard, but it would bring down the speed to PC2100.

So getting back to games finally, I have to point out this would normally be E3 week. I’ll miss watching Gamespot’s crappy stream of Iwata making some speech about gamers, seeing the Kentia hall oddities(Note: They all hilariously suck), and most of all - E3 insider’s Famcam. I don’t think too many people know about this, but it’s a guy who walks around with a few cameras strapped to his head, navigating the crowds and booths at E3. It’s like being there yourself(!), but with an over-enthusiastic narrator. Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing though, it really comes in handy when he interviews developers. For example: “Oh wow that looks great!” and “I can’t wait to play it!”. Developers eat that up… and spit out more info! It’s very effective. A most notable interview from last year in my opinion was the interview with Ben Herman North American SNK President. No, not as a great example of enthusiasm extracting info from a developer, but just the overall coolness. Or maybe both… I think I heard all the Metal slug anthology details from this interview and even though he says “Uh.. it’s still in development” he basically gave away everything.
…
I guess E3 isn’t gone and dead per-se, but I’m not sure it’ll have the same feel to it… kinda sad. Unless… the FamCam can get back in, then it’s alright.
-I’ve been playing a few PC demos lately, look forward to some impressions in my next post!
