Man, Halo skakkage is dwindling and I'm feeling sad. Tried to get some game on for Friday but the regulars are more interested in the Hockey playoffs - how can this be?? I mean I know the Rangers have made it after some years of pure suckage but they're up against the Devils. It's all over, they're done, come play Halo. It's much more fun watching my friend scream nonsensensical craziness.

I was let into a little secret yesterday by a friend of mine. Here's the deal - my fiance has a really nasty temper. He can't STAND to lose. He also has a really loud voice and tends to scream a lot when he gets killed. The last time all my friends played Halo 2 on XBoxLive, I kept getting annihilated and couldn't figure out how the hell people knew I was creeping up behind them. Well, the cat was let out of the bag last night. My friend Bill told me that he would hear my fiance's maniacal screams over my headset thanks to voice proximity. WTF? I'm gonna have to cut his tongue out while he's sleeping, I think. UGH and guys say women cry a lot? Obviously you haven't been around many men when they fail at something! (HAHA just kidding guys)

I'm so psyched for E3 - Last year was amazing but I think this year is just going to be phenomenal. I will try to post the blogs of all the people I know that will be keeping you informed. Of course I'll be taking lots of pics and writing like crazy so be sure to check back often. Also, if there's anything you're particularly interested in, let me know. I will try to find out about it.

I'm wondering what it'll be like without the eye candy, too. Will little boys be crying because they don't see mammary glands next to God of War 2? I'm sure many developers will just bite the bullet and pay the fines or just dress the girls in Latex cat suits or something.

Hopefully Sony will have something playable this year. That'd be a real treat. Graphics are a huge part of games but the BS CGI renders that the companies use to reel you in just doesn't do it for me, now. It's become a tease that never comes through. You just get sick of chasing it after a while.

Wii - What can I say? I know many of you are really looking forward to Nintendo's offering. I still have my reservations and this new name doesn't help. What crackhead decided this was a good name? Did they even think that some wouldn't call it the "W2" but rather the "WEE"? "Hi, I'd like to put a deposit down on a Wii, please." Yeah, you don't sound too psychotic! I haven't stopped laughing since I heard it. Maybe I should just get it for the endless stream of jokes I could hear.

"Could you bag my Wii up for me?"

"Dude, my Wii is so cool!"

"Can I borrow your Wii?"

"Wanna come over and play on my Wii?"

"My Wii runs really hot, I wonder if something's wrong with it?"

And you know it will only be a matter of time before fanboys of other systems buy stickers of Calvin "wiing" on one. Ok, ok, I'll stop. It's my lack of maturity and unwillingness to grow up. I apologize.

GamertagPics reopened the doors to the forums a couple of days ago. They've been down for a while and I know people were getting frustrated. WELL THEY'RE UP NOW! LEAVE ME ALONE! I need a job where I can work on that stuff all day long. It's becoming a drag that my real job gets in the way all the time.

The FragDolls put up their first video showcasing four of the finalists in the race to become the next elite female gamer. Not surprisingly, there are a few PMS girls up for the part. I'm glad to see some new faces in the running, though. It's obvious from the first video that the girls definitely have the spunk to succeed in the tough role. You don't really get to see their gaming skills but it's good to hear about their backgrounds and each one did a good job representing themselves. This week, they introduced Moe (Once a part of the ill-fated "Female Eye for the Gamer Guy" on 1up.com), PerfectDark (PMS clan), Angel (PMS Clan), and Cella (PMS clan co-founder). Check the video out here.
