No Men Here. Only Monsters.
Hello All,

Its finally that time of year, where all the little out-of-shape boys and those super cool, but rare girls gather around their TV sets/internet connections to watch the E3 conferences. First up is Microsoft. Hopefully, this won't be an especially lovely show for them as they have a lot of ground to make up for in the console wars.

Enough of my jibber-jabber. Let's start the show!

Edit: People keep yelling at me, saying my first post is terrible. They demand that I put in more information. As I'm terrified of anonymous forum dwellers, I will meekly comply.

The conference starts streaming at 12:30 PM Eastern/ 9:30 AM Pacific.

You can find the official GameSpot livestream here: http://www.gamespot.com/e3/microsof...onference-2014/

Below is additional information originally posted by the vastly superior internet hero, Quest For Glory II.

I had all the consoles of last generation (and the one before that), but my main squeeze was the 360. I haven't bought a new console just yet but, I've decided on the PS4. All of my friends seem to be going in that direction and I what I enjoy the most is co-op. I'll get the X1 eventually, but probably after a steeper price drop.

Not if someone decides to play dota while it's live.

I'm watching on TV while Spike is showing it, just so I don't have to deal with initial stream problems.

Twitch Plays Pokemon had E3 levels of bandwidth traffic and the whole infrastructure started falling apart until they gave it its own server, so I assume they're doing that this time.

I don't know what I enjoy about E3 more. Hearing about new games & offerings from Xbox, Sony & Nintendo or seeing the gaming tears shed by NeoGaf as the site goes down or they find some factual error about an upcoming game.

The only way Microsoft's press conference could be successful this year is if they announce they're selling off their gaming division.

Microsoft's conference could be a 90 minute apology for 2013 and it wouldn't make a difference, the damage has been done.

Sure our console is less powerful and more expensive than its direct competitor and we've had to 180 on almost every major policy but here's a list of reasons to get excited about the Xbone:

I feel like the word "choice" is going to be highlighted a lot.
As in, "we're so great because we give our customers a choice in their level of gameplay."

Then again, I don't know who would choose to "upgrade" to the Kinect if there aren't going to be any games supporting it in the future.

Excuse me, have you seen Sunset Overdrive.... 's bus?

Predictions for Microsoft Conference:
- Halo gone mad. No one cares.
- Sunset Overdrive goes wacky! No one cares.
- Trying to imply Call of Duty is an exclusive. No one cares.
- Biggest applauds are for the DisKinect.
