Yes, it is almost that time of year again where us enthusiasts of gaming get ready to have our socks rocked with news and video of future games and consoles. With every E3 there will always be an awesome conference (or one that at least seems awesome compared to the rest), a decent conference, and a WTF conference (last year we got two :D). Anyway, let's get into the meat of things.
WHO IS DOING WHAT WHEN (IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER)
MICROSOFT
Eh
EA
WHEN: JUNE 6, 12:30-1:30 PST 3:30-4:30 EST 8:30-9:30 BST 9:30-10:30 SAST Battlefield 3 is reason enough to watch this. SW:TOR and ME3 are just icing on the cake.
SONY WHEN: JUNE 6, 5:00-7:00 PST 8:00-10:00 EST 1:00-3:00 AM BST 2:00-4:00 SAST Sony is normally reserved for meh, but with NGP coming up and all the surprises they had last year, who knows what they will bring this year. OH AND KEVIN BUTLER (please?)
NINTENDO WHEN: JUNE 7, 9:00-11:00 PST 12:00-2:00 EST 5:00-7:00 BST 6:00-8:00 SAST Do I really need to explain? HOW DO I WATCH THIS SHIT Many different places; Gamespot, Gametrailers, IGN, etc. *LINKS TO BE ADDED CLOSER TO SHOW TIME, MAKE SURE TO SAY WHO HAS THE FASTEST FEED IN THE CHAT* HOW DO I TALK TO MY BEST BROS ABOUT THIS

2. WHERE IT SAYS Connect:, put in BadnikNET [webirc]
3. For Nickname put whatever the hell you want
4. For the channel put in #CT
5. Enjoy!
You may have noticed I didn't list Konami's or Ubisoft's press conferences. That is because Konami's is on June 2nd where I don't think most of us will be out of school by then and nobody gives a shit about Ubisoft.
That is all for now, anything I should add or edit?

I don't think I'll be watching E3 this year. It's fairly predictable. Microsoft will only show Kinect games, and nothing really new or ground breaking, except new Xbox Live services that do nothing. Sony will show a few okay things, but nothing to really blow people away. Definitely beats Microsoft though, with the NGP and all. Nintendo will win. Between showing Skyward Sword, and numerous other games on the 3DS, it really doesn't need explaining. Here are some 3DS titles I imagine are being shown this year: Starfox (longshot, but you never know) definitely a new Mario title, if not a remake of something like Mario Sunshine, and finally the reveal of the Layton/Phoenix Wright crossover.

You forgot about project cafe for nintendo. For Sony, I just wanna see how they're gonna dig themselves out of this whole PSN scandal. Microsoft... I dunno. They'll probably show a few kinect games, but that was more or less a huge bust. There's also MW3 footage that's bound to be shown at microsoft's, as well as Gear's 3 stuff.

I thought you would at least watch Nintendo's conference with all of the rumors that Rockstar is making games for it. And the only other game I know Microsoft will definitely show is the Codename: Kingdoms game by Crytek which they showed last year and haven't said anything about it since. (This game is probably only big for me though, being a Crytek fan and all.)

I didn't forget about Project Cafe, I just didn't feel a need to explain it. And I am very interested as well of what Sony is going to do to get them out of the PSN scandal.

I didn't forget it either. Just didn't want to mention more of the same stuff. Basically, Nintendo's gonna steal the show this year, Microsoft will come up disappointingly short, focusing too much on Kinect. I just want to play fun games, not dance around! Having said that, I think the only reason an Xbox should be kept for game reasons is the XBLA. Some amazing games there. Cross-platform games are really only worth it for the multiplayer and the likes.

Yeah, same opinion here. I actually do think Microsoft's conference will be worse than last year's, which is saying something.

I'm soooo pumped. Ninty's gonna make me start saving for that Project Cafe right after I blow it all on a 3DS.
ANd I'm totally buying that MGS collection just for Peace Walker. :P ZOE too, because I only ever played a demo for it and I thought it was the most awesome thing ever.

Okay, so they gave us Halo 4, and a re-make of the original Halo. As well as promising games that were announced last year. (Kinect Star Wars, and a sequel to Dance Central. Yay.)
