With E3 behind us, I did some reflection and realized that I felt I hadn't really played that many games while in Los Angeles. Polling some fellow "journalists" (many of which are actually respectable), it seems I wasn't alone.
I'm not sure that I like E3. I'm glad it's over, and I'm glad to be back with you fine normal folks. The videogame industry is full of a bunch of God damned weirdos, let me tell you.
- Holy crap, people are still playing Donkey Kong ... for points? Go Steve Wiebe, go! [GoNintendo]
- We played Resident Evil 5, too, and we noticed it had the same control scheme as RE 4. So you can't run and shoot. Yet. But we heard a few things and would suggest we talk about this again after Tokyo Game Show. That's all we're saying. [PSX Extreme]
- Nintendo's smiley Cammie Dunaway is like the Joker, smiles all of the time. [Wired]
- Miyamoto thinks WiiMusic is "better than a game." That's like us saying we think an apple is better than toothpaste. [CVG]
- Metal Gear Online stops working, no one knows why. Konami blames "influx of traffic." We think it's an Internet poltergeist. [IGN]
- Earthworm Jim's daddy, Dave Perry, s**ts all over E3. [GamesIndustry]
- Don't like the new Xbox 360 dashboard? Well, you're stupid. But you don't have to use it, says Microsoft's Major Nelson. [CVG]

And I'm Ron Workman. I approve of this article.
Pretty nifty and functional for just the guide...
That said, the new layout is welcomed by me, just as long as the avatars are completely removed. Add your favorite theme and gamerpics and it seems pretty damn slick.
I seriously doubt the new menus will be that different... now we just have (prettier) vertical blades with horizontal options - and more options to choose from.
