Nintendo Digital Event (and E3 2014)

That looks handy, Jay - will put it in the OP.

Right, important question: with what will people be enjoying E3? Whether you're watching it after the event or live (or "live" in Nintendo's case), are you going to be settling down with a slice of cake and a mug of tea, or are you more of a crisps and ale person?

I think I'll settle for the classic combination of tea and biscuits. I'll review the biscuits for the snack thread afterwards, natch?

As I am off and don't need to get up etc. I will be setting up the laptop to post thoughts on here and hopefully getting Twitch/IGN on the Xbone or PS4 running to start watching tomorrow evening with a bottle of mountain dew energy to keep me going maybe with a packet of crisps.

I might have nab around 8pm though.

I'll be enjoying it asleep as I'm on early shift

I have a similar plan. Don't start work until 18:00 on the weds, do I want to watch maximum Nintendo and chat maximum GNamer.

I like the idea of getting a bottle of a popular energy drink. I think I'll get something a bit exciting in terms of crisps. Something that's a fun shape, like a triangle.

Presumably you'll watch it afterwards, though?

Probably.

Got some Pizza, Doritos. various Cadbury's Bites and some Cider at the ready! Glad you mentioned the twitch on PS4 because I'd never have thought of that.

This is an important matter, Beemoh! Remember, people on this forum love snacks above all else (according to the 2013 best thread vote).

I hope everyone reviews their E3 scran in the Snacks Thread.

I won't be eating anything myself as it's all going down in the early hours of the morning here and if I eat any of what I normally have for snacks the sugar rush will keep me up for hours.

Bad times on PS4, there is no twitch app there's live from PlayStation but only shows PlayStation games of what I can tell, but if you go to the TV/Video there's a new IGN app which says about E3 if click on that it did a update for me and just took me to the normal IGN app but I would gather it will be showing E3. Also on the social feed there's a E3 ad if you click on that takes you to a web page with a countdown of Sony's conference which you can watch from there. I gather you would be able to use the web on the ps4 to see the others as well.

I'm watching on Xbone as that has a twitch app which seems better then actual Twitch, I was watching people play Smash Bros Melee on it last night and I can log in as me and check out channels I'm following which includes Sony, Nintendo etc and Twitch there self's which are showing everything in one loop. First time the Xbone has had some actual serious use, I'm really looking for to M$ as the xbone is collecting dust and there's not much on the horizon with a firm date I want.

Now thinking about it I got the wrong days off Tuesday and Wednesday would of been better seeing there's stuff going on early Wednesday and I've got to go work Wednesday not till mid-day buts till staying up to 4am or whatever isn't the best idea . I can use Thursday to catch up as it will be all over.

Is it me or is there to much E3, as IGN have mystery game 1 & Twitch has something, GT/Spike has something etc how can you watch it all I am hoping by the times Axis has put some of the overlap if IGN / Twitch of some things is just the same game but different people playing it or what not.

I've got a big bottle of dew and some kettle chips for tonight.

Should we put any thoughts etc in a spoiler post due to people like beemoh whom are watching later.

Nah, I can't see why someone who hasn't caught up would want to come into this thread anyway. Unless anyone strongly feels otherwise?

Yeah did think the same the whole thread will be spoiler.

Nah. I'll not be watching it live as I've been invited for a job interview ninety miles away, so I was expecting to catch up with it through Twitter, and mostly through Axis' infectiously enthusiastic 'NEW SMASH BROS FOURTH PIKACHU COSTUME' updates.

I'd assume it's most likely that- chances are they're not even proper exclusives as much as things that haven't been announced yet, but will be in the pressers- so we'll know what they are well ahead of time.

I'm keeping lot's of tabs open including this thread with Axis times as I'd sooner see Nintendo's stuff then Far Cry 4 on Twitch, but hopefully some is like you say Beemoh, the 4 IGN & Twitch Nintendo games are the same.

Also it begins MGSV: Phantom Pain E3 Trailer leaked.

I will be making my way home from work and getting changed before tucking into whatever fish dish the local pub is serving up, along with some well-deserved ale.

Then it'll be Twitter, NintendoLife and here to catch up, probably on the Wednesday morning.

Interesting suggestion off CVG: the E3 Drinking Game. Drink whenever the following is said:
MS' conference: "TV", "Kinect", or "sports";
Sony's: "Indie", "delay", or "remake".

MS' one seems like it might be avoiding those concepts, but food for thought if you're sitting down with alcohol. I'm struggling to think up ideas for Nintendo, though. "Please", "apologise", or "Zelda"?

I can see TV being brought because of the Halo series etc as they want to talk about games. I don't get the sony delays as they delayed what two games for the PS4 and one is what like a 2 months delay. I can see indie be used a lot by both not sure about remake as they use different words like remastered.

I'm getting hyped, guys. I wasn't gonna but I am!

Wonder what drunka liked about this gif?:

Luigi's Death Stare is always good for a laugh.

I decided against reviving the E3 Bingo thread I did last year ( http://messedupcables.forumotion.net/t345-wii-u-e3-bingo-thread ), because I'm too lazy, and it was depressing that I only ticked off one or two boxes by the end. (Though, as the year progressed, a few items on my bingo card became reality - such as COD: Ghosts on Wii U and the Zelda edition 3DS and Wii U.)

From CVG:

Bingo!:

Also on CVG, the Sony fanboys are being hilarious. I think they think that MS are going to return last year's favour.

So is that picks or something Balla with the bingo also 2 is being present by Aisha Tyler again (I think that's right) whom is a nerd herself, so her saying it not so bad. Also 23 it is doing well it's out performing the 360 at this stage & that had no competition at the time unlike the One with the PS4 & WiiU both out, you don't need a graph to know that but it looks bad as the PS4 is doing so much better.

The IGN app will be showing E3 according to Gregg Miler on tweeter, So might use that instead as there line up looks a little better then Twitchs of exclusive stuff.

Are we going to use this thread for livechatting or just overarching thoughts on each conference? Just checking to see what people's preference is before I start posting "HALO? AGAIN?" in just over an hour.

Not sure about live chatting depending on how many people are posting and what's happening. So I might type like a live chat then post after its over.
