Here are the three things that blew it (my mind).

1) How awesome the Dtoid staff and community are

2) How many awesome games I played

3) How much fucking work it's going to take to get all these videos edited.

At least one, hopefully two videos are going up tomorrow, keeping with that schedule for the rest of the week. We shot about 15 hours of footage, most of it gameplay or impressions of gameplay. I barely got to write any posts at all while I was actually at E3, but I sure did play a lot of stuff.

One of my surprise favorite games is the new KoF. If you were disappointed as I was that SF IV went 3D, then this is the game for you. It looks even better in person than it does on the internet, and it plays great, way better than past KoFs. I didn't miss Mai either. I'm glad as hell that the game swapped her out for one of the many new characters that make an appearance in the game.

Over all, this was probably the best E3 for 2D graphics in recent memory. KoF, Muramasa, and A Boy and his Blob all looked amazing, and are must buys for any fan of hand drawn games.

Probably the biggest disappointment at the show was TMNT Smash it up. The game has al the chaos of Smash Bros but none of the depth or originality, at least, from what I played so far. It does look pretty good though, but it just seemed so shallow. Who knows, maybe I just need to play it a little. more.

The other big disappointment was the lack of news on Tatsunoko Vs Capcom. I actually got to do a brief interview with Seth Killian on the topic, and while he led me to believe that a lot of things are possible, he couldn't give me any specifics. That interview should be up in a few weeks, so you'll see for yourself what he said, but lets just say that it's a major tease that I really hope isn't all talk.

As for the weirdest thing I saw at E3, it was definitely the culture of the "booth babe". Seeing these women pretend to be horny all day, and take pictures with men they don't know or even like over and over and over again actually got to be pretty creepy. That's another one you can see for yourself in the up coming videos, but honestly, I don't think I'll be able to do the experience justice. It was that weird.

Anyway, I really just wanted to write a quick blog saying I'm not dead and that I can try to answer any questions you might have about various games.

I missed you guys!
