I told everyone on vent who were bitching about how they missed the premiere, went to sleep, woke up, returned to dtoid, and the link is still nowhere to be found. Meh.
The show was uploaded pretty much right after airing on tv, which is great!
Here ya go, you... you...
[Blogger's Note: I know the movie doesn't work on the post itself, but it looks pretty rather than having a text link take you to it. Weee I'm on crack!]
Europe is the old continent, and it's been made common sense, that no one likes old things.
So normally old things are left to suffer, with lack of attention, brain damaging game release dates and etcetera.
Of course, Sega and THQ like old things, they want to nurture them.
So screw E3 and it's US-only hypocrisy.
Giving continuation to a event that I completely blocked out last year because of the whole new E3 debate, this year Sega and THQ are bringing the Business Partners Summit to Lisbon, Portugal.
My country? Getting this much attention? Hell yeah!
If everything works out, I'll be there doing some freelance jornalism for some websites I befriend with.
Publishers team up for trade summit again as E3 refuses to accommodate Europe
Nearly 400 retail and distribution delegates from across Europe, Africa, Australia and beyond will descend on Lisbon in Portugal for a strictly non-media event running between Wednesday June 4th and Friday June 6th.
The 2008 Business Partners Summit follows the success of last year's inaugural Malta event, which was praised by all visitors as a hugely valuable insight into product and marketing plans for the second half of the year.
Sega and THQ are promising more of the same, but on a bigger scale than last year. "With no E3 and no pan-European trade event, we have joined forced with THQ to again spend quality time with our customers," Sega Europe boss Mike Hayes told MCV.
Sega and THQ had originally considered widening out the event to include another publisher, but have now chosen to stick to a similar format to last year.
"There would have been a logistical downside if we added anyone else in," said Hayes. "And we don't want to increase the amount of time buyers have to be out of the office.
"We work well with THQ and are very happy to be tweaking rather than radically changing the event this year."
Saturday, playing like hell, being a Engineer (oh wait...) and the damn game lags out.
I get a connection problem so I Alt+Tab to see if my network is still working.
It is! So I Alt+Tab back to the game... and insanity installs!
OH MY GOD! NERF THAT SPY!
The weapons are ALIVE!
What? Stop healing the enemy!
STOP IT!
Sniper scout?! Baddass!!
I didn't know you could change faction in this game!
We really need to do something about this damn spy!
Like, RIGHT NOW!
P.S.: Bad ASS!!!
Run by is the new drive by.
Hey! That's mine!
Well... thanks... I think...
I think that thing is not test to carry people with red clothes...
Ah! Science is amazing! No resonance cascade this time. ;)
If you have ADD and/or can't read, the link for the teaser is on the bottom of this small text.
Remember how Duke Nukem Forever made your heartbeat rise when you saw its E3 2001 trailer?
This is the game I still want to play.
"Dated graphics", you say? Well, I don't really care for graphics, actually, this current gen is failing on me.
Gears of War is too gray/brown, and so do other games.
I'm the type of person who refuses to play with the high definition model pack for System Shock 2, as the enemies look creepier in their low polygon form.
This takes me to the problem that nowadays no one can release a 1999-looking game without being nailed to the cross by the overall gaming journalism.
I'll squeeze on that pimple one of these days...
Now, everyone's expecting a, in my opinion, ugly bloated, exaggeratedly bump mapped, dark grey/brown game. For me, it will never top the excitement I still get by watching that old trailer.
