4:26 pm. Oh shit it's over already! Oh god, the loud music is back. And they haven't turned on the lights yet, so we're like totally trapped. Maybe now is when the tear gas comes out and they kill us all. We're all gonna die! Goodbye cruel world! 4:25 pm John Ricatello is back and I still can't spell his name. He's about to announce a new partnership. Oh my! It's id Sofware! I've like totally heard of them! And now here's John Carmack. I've heard of him too! He's talking about Rage. Actually all he's really saying is that we need to go to QuakeCon to see it. What a tease. Oh wait, now he's showing a little clip. So far, lots of brown. Well that's a surprise. Now lots of zombies and monsters growling at the screen, plus, for a bonus, a woman in a tight green jumpsuit with humongoid breasts. THEY KNOW WHAT GAMERS WANT. 4:20 pm Gabe Newell of Valve just got onstage. Gee, thanks for dressing up. It looks like he just got off the couch from watching a C.O.P.S marathon. He's showing Left 4 Dead. Right on. Lots of zombies and fire and explosions--three things that go great together! He's got a little too much PowerPoint going on up here though. I guess he was too busy not getting dressed for this thing to read the memo about how they weren't gonna do PowerPoint this year. Still, this game is looking awesome---ships Nov 4th for PC and 360. This is a Day 1 game for me, easily. 4:15 pm I was right! It was the nadir. Things are lookin ...
Anytime
