Real Life News Summary 11-08-07
E3 2008 changing AGAIN. The way E3 presents itself is going through yet another change. No, it´s not going back to being a huge convention for tens of thousands of people, but it´s definitely going to get bigger and the bet news is: No more fucking hangar!! In fact, the whole city of LA is out of the picture for at least 2008 as they’re moving to other places.
After ditching the Los Angeles Convention Center, E3 moved from its traditional all-trade May show for 60,000 visitors, to a media and analysts’ show in Santa Monica this year capped at around 3,000 delegates. But MCV can exclusively reveal that the show will move next year, having only stayed in Santa Monica due to a contractual commitment to run some kind of exhibition in the LA city environs. The need for a ‘floorspace’ area explains the much-derided Barker Hanger product showcase. A full review of the event will be conducted by organiser the Entertainment Software Association, but change seems guaranteed.
Well, I guess we’ll have to wait and see what this will bring. I hope they’re going back to a May date since all publishers are announcing new games and stuff around that time due to E3 always having been in May. There’s more!
The future of warfare begins now! There’s a new soldier on the battlefield, and it’s not human. If that doesn’t freak you out enough you’ll be shocked to hear that it fires an M249 without any backfiring whatsoever. So basically this thing can shot your head clean off without missing a single bullet while firing between 725 to 1000 bullets per minute! Yeah, I’d really hate to stand in front of one of those fuckers with an AK-47. Good thing I’m not an insurgent, eh?
GayGamer under attack. Some homophobic moron with too much spare time on his hands has been attacking GayGamer.net because just a day before he woke up next to a homosexual feeling all funny and stuff. Just get out of the closet you fucking asshole. (No pun intended.)
GayGamer.net, a site aimed at providing news and reviews for gay gamers, as well as being a safe haven for gay gamers, has been taken offline after a series of malevolent and hateful attacks forced it off the internets. Yes, all of them,
Flynn DeMarco, the owner of GayGamer.net and weekend editor for Kotaku, said that what started as a series of small denial of service attacks on Wednesday morning soon grew into something more threatening. Throughout Thursday the site suffered occasional time-outs but was working on fixing the problem.
Come Friday the site, working with its host, was able to block the IP address the DOS attacks were stemming from. This only made matters worse however as the the sites forums and chat rooms were soon flooded with hate speech and death threats against the sites providers, writers and members.
According to DeMarco, all of the attacks and posts originated from the same IP in Philidelphia.
There’s more to the story here.
PS3 haters take on a more serious stand. Now more than ever the violent war between X-Box owners and PlayStation owners is waging on as a 13 year old decided that flame wars was for pussies. Instead, the young man decided to show the world how he felt by spreading his PS hate in the real world.
The Young man had used a permanent black marker to write, “PS3 Sucks” on 23 plastic security cases used to protect the Sony Playstation games from being stolen from the “R” Zone section of the store. The Young man was held until police arrived. After his parents were unable to be reached he was taken to child services.
When he was asked why he did it by police he responded, “I have an Xbox and I hate Playstation. I found the marker lying on the shelf and I guess I was bored. Sorry.”
That sounds like the words of a true Playstation hater. Looks like Microsoft has a customer for life.
Whenever they start fighting each other on the streets, that’s when I’ll join the X-Box owners. Because I love how their console is suffering from much less problems, even though the problems they do have are far more serious. Console fanboys… They make me laugh every time, and I’m not joking either. Source

as some one who doesn’t actually attend E3, this years change made no difference to me. we still had the big press conferences and saw some new game footage. i dont care how its organised as long as i get my bits.
Exactly. Thank God at least someone agrees with me even though it’s only logic and completely undeniable.
the reason they changed it was because the publishers were spending too much money on their booths at e3. this year they spent a fraction of that amount but they still got the same coverage in the media. its purely a financial decision to change it.
Yeah I know the motive.
