I was gone for two weeks in a row, and now this week I just completely forgot because of all of the E3 business and the new site’s launch. However, I remember now and am super excited to get back into the rhythm of Game Nights! You all know the drill: Show up at 6PM CST (7PM EST, 4PM PST) and it’s free to play with no sign-up required! The best way to figure out how it all works is just by showing up, so I’ll see you all in a week for the first game night after E3!

“Based off internally conducted research, naked-eye 3D for portables does not have high precision, and at present there are limitations.” – Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Kaz Hirai
Although I’ll admit that the 3DS’ technology has issues like a narrow viewing angle, based on the feedback from E3, I’d say the good outweighs the bad. Not only can you take your 3D gaming experiences anywhere you go, but you also don’t to hassle with 3D glasses.
Remember the Blur commercial Activision put out a few weeks ago? You know, the one that was poking fun at Mario Kart. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime was asked about it on the latest GameTrailers TV. Based on what he said, it doesn’t seem like he was too impressed.
“You know, God bless the folks at Activiison. They have a sense of humor. I do not…They are doing GoldenEye for us. You know what? Bobby and the team at Activision are fantastic partners, but no I don’t like my kids being picked at. I don’t think any proud parent would like their kids being picked at.”
