I am sitting here at E3 and I wanted to make a quick update regarding the store. As you are well aware, you guys broke it yesterday. So powerfull was your desire for our shirts and posters that you brought the Gameskins server to it's knees. The store had to be taken down yesterday so that we could resolve the problem. We have talked to the server place and they should have us on a brand new server by next weekend or so. Please, please be gentle with this one.
I don't know how it began exactly, but every year for the last four we've gone to see Bioware at noon on the first day. In fact, it is the only time I can remember actually eating anything any year we come to this. So, it is with a certain amount of excitement that we ponder this annual ritual.
This is why we can't have nice things.

Dear Tycho,
Another installment of The Hookup is on the site, and I have a very high opinion of it. We're actually going to meet him this year, I guess he's going to be down there at that place with all the E's.
The gyrations we might go through to make something ridiculous match established canon are well known, even if it's something like a bedsheet, or in this case, an advertising campaign. There's a Powerade commercial before X2 that is - I swear to God - over eighty minutes in length. It really is like a movie about Powerade that you have to watch before your own movie may begin. The fifteen minutes before your film are now a non-stop psychic barrage.
Evil Avatar just posted a little comment about PlanetSide that I thought was interesting.
Also from Namco

Sony's mega-remote, mentioned earlier, is - I am told by many humans - an attempt to replicate the Philips Pronto. How could I have known?
Homelan has a little interview action with yours truly going on right here. Tycho is a huge star now and cannot be bothered with such trivial things, so he didn’t answer any of the questions. I tried calling him last night to play some Raven Shield but his personal assistant told me that “Mr. Brahe was in the middle of a very important meeting with Mr. Jacuzzifullofladies and was not available for comment.”
LoudMusic just sent me this link. It's some kind of Goddamned alien remote. Universal is one thing - it's nice to have a single device. But this thing can actually remember keyed sequences, which is nice, because it might mean that Gabe can stay married.
