Back from E3 with more videos and too much work
Tiff | 3:17 PM on 07.22.2008 25 comments




Of course, nothing's at E3 is amazing as Chad Concelmo

The first thing I did upon returning home Thursday evening from E3 was go to Destructoid and read what happened at E3. No joke. While I certainly had my share of getting a live, on the scene impression of the conference, it's rather tricky to keep track of everything when you're running around from meeting to meeting, trying to keep the on-site updates flowing. I'm still catching up with the trailers I missed and all the other shenanigans that happened while simultaneously trying to finish the last of my E3 coverage. But while I sometimes catch myself rather overwhelmed with the all the E3 aftermath, what can I say, I'm glad I went.



Rev. Anthony, myself, and Aaron Linde. All that's missing is Mr. Sterling

Niero said it best when he compared E3 to a sort of high school reunion for the gaming industry. Not only did I get to see and hang out with some of my favorite Dtoiders, but I also go to run into my favorite other folks from Gaygamer.net, 1up, MTV Multiplayer, AOL Gamedaily, and more. Fun! Laffs! Games! A huge thanks to the Destructoid team for being the best around, and making E3 totally worthwhile between the chaos and the muck. Here's a bonus E3 video of Chad opening his AMAZING gift from RetroForce fan Stella Wong!:

If interested, check out my Day 2 and 3 personal recap of E3 (The video is 10 minutes of me blabbing on and on about stuff. Sorry. Long video is long.) You can also find more photos and
videos on my respective Flickr and Vimeo accounts.

And finally, a question for you Dtoiders: What did you think of the personal impressions/videos that we put up during the coverage? Did you like the causal v-log approach? Would you like to see more of this style of coverage in the future?

!!! HARTS !!!

GuitarAtomik's Destructoid Blog
Honestly, I liked the V-blog style more. It fits the tone of the site a little more and doesn't feel forced or anything. It's like a video version of Podtoid.

Jon and Andy's stuff was good too though and it has it's place too so I wouldn't get rid of that either.
Def JM's Destructoid Blog
Im a big fan of the videos, with big events I think its great. I believe it comes off with alot more understanding of how you feel about the aspects that you liked/disliked.
nademagnet's Destructoid Blog
V-blogs 4 life!
Arttemis's Destructoid Blog
I could never chose one over the other... I will say, though, that anything with Jonathan Holmes is fucking priceless!

I wish I were related to him.
Tiff's Destructoid Blog
I changed the question because I didn't want to pit my videos vs. Mr. Holmes'. Jonathan and Andy did a fantastic job on their own, and these more v-log like videos would hopefully be in addition to their hard work!
Arttemis's Destructoid Blog
The personality found in V-logs perfectly represent the nature of Destructoid. It's like getting post cards from best friends... with dolphin loving tendencies, cleavage, and funny hand motions!

I really like the mix between the two! I hope the question wasn't proposed in order to choose one over the other!
Arttemis's Destructoid Blog
@the revised question - Oh, hell yeah!

If hands-on impressions can be told through humorous videos, I'm all for it. For a tight-knit community such as Dtoid, I say it makes perfect sense!
GuitarAtomik's Destructoid Blog
Yeah. There's definitely room for both depending on the situation.
king3vbo's Destructoid Blog
That fucking sweater gets me every time. So awesome
madninja's Destructoid Blog
I would like to see these during Comic Con, oh wait I will be there doing both kinds of things (maybe if my laptop stops being a bitch). The sweater is amazing.
riomccarthy's Destructoid Blog
I really like both. With theirs you get a little more straight out what went on and such. Though with your videos it's nice to see people having fun and get that humorous approach to it. I think there's definitely room for both and it's nice to see both of them so neither one ends up getting old. :) I <3 you Tiff! PILLOW FOOOOOOOOORT!
Jonathan Holmes's Destructoid Blog
I absolutely love the v-blog approach, and have huge admiration (and envy) for Tiff and Chad and their ability to be so damn entertaining without the need for fancy edits and background music.

If the Chad and Tiff had their own show, I'd have already bought the first season.
Electro Lemon's Destructoid Blog
Definitely preferred the videos. Usually, when the impressions go up, I don't always have time to read them, which makes me feel like a dick for skipping over something that was obviously spent a lot of time on (bad grammar alert), but with the videos, its not so hard to watch them, and you get a better idea of what you actually thought of the game. Its kind of hard to display the intensities of your feelings toward a game with writing.
Sharpless's Destructoid Blog
Casual is very good. Tiff face is also very good. Chad vest is even more very good. A slice of Holmes on Andywich bread is very good too... Okay, I'm losing myself. I'll go away now.
Tactix's Destructoid Blog
I agree...the v-log approach was so amazing! It was very casual and very representative of how close this community is :D

Also, sweaters!
Steel Squirrel's Destructoid Blog
I also enjoyed the V-blogs. I agree that it definitely captures the spirit of Destructoid and just makes this place stand out as a real community even more.

Also Tiff, yours was the best because you slurred through the word "Bethesda". I am still working on saying it sober..... :D
Brian Keljore's Destructoid Blog
I find that the casual v-log approach is more honest about what the recorder saw than your standard video report. Glad you had fun, and I am jealous about Comic con. Have a blast.
Mxyzptlk's Destructoid Blog
I definitely like the more personal, casual approach myself.
twister1988's Destructoid Blog
SPORTS!

I would be all over v-blog if my internets didn't suck ass. There should be a youtube channel for Dtoid so I can watch it on my phone.
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
I liked the casual blogging stuff. It made me feel a bit like I was there. It just feels a little more personal, I guess, and it's nice to get that from a gaming Web site. :)
graphic's Destructoid Blog
overall amazing

btw: Why is Jim not going to Leipzig?
Phist's Destructoid Blog
I laughed out loud.
Justice's Destructoid Blog
The videos are really good, stick with 'em!
Char Aznable's Destructoid Blog
Not that you really needed any more confirmation, but the videos were great. They fit well with the overall feel of Dtoid and how the editors are just like everyone else (well, for the most part). Taking a more intimate and personal approach to the videos was a fantastic idea.
Stella Wong's Destructoid Blog
omg I have not seen this video and I'm glad I did! XDDD;; that's the best reaction ever! ouu that sweater was worth making. XD
