Plague on a crucifix. | E3 begins tomorrow. It's always an exciting time of the year for gamers and this year is going to be especially exciting. It's not often that new game consoles are revealed. But beyond that, there are a ton of games to look forward to - there will be more than 650 games on the show floor. It seems that covering E3 becomes more and more difficult each year as a result. I'm glad that N-Sider is Nintendo-only. Covering more than one hardware manfacturer would be insane; I certainly don't envy the bigger multi-platform sites.
Speaking of games, I've been playing Guild Wars when I can lately and it's been a great deal of fun. Where are all you Guild Wars players? I've spent the vast majority of my time with Alex. It's a lot of fun, of course, but it'd be awesome to have a party full of OBers. Although time differences can also be a bit annoying.
Guild Wars also reminds me about online etiquette. In the game I just played, a girl insisted that I trade an object with her (mid-mission). We literally couldn't continue until that'd been done. And then, mid-mission, we had someone just leave on us. Dropping-out with no penality is a little annoying, mostly because we were left with an incomplete party. And so we were barely getting by as a result.
Oh well. For the most part, Guild Wars players have been very courteous, which is great to see. I really value that, particularly with online games; it makes the experience that much more fun.
Hopefully I'll get some time to play with more OBers soon (ignoring how utterly wrong that sounds when not in context >_>;;)
