    I want Leigh Alexander on the podcasts, if just to annoy all the 13 year old trolls that dwell on this site.
    If she actually isn't drunk this year, maybe she won't attract unwanted attention.

    Should have joined that Submarine Club you've talked about in the past, Jeff. Would've made it easier to live in this 'new-age underwater California' all the hipsters talk about.

    Gonna miss Paul Barnett; the right guest can totally make a podcast.

    Kind of how the wrong (drunk and rude) one can totally break it. I was listening to one of the e3 podcasts last year when I was in the car and my gf demanded we turn it off due to she-who-must-not-be-named.

    Can't believe its E3 all over again. I still remember last years shenanigans as clear day and to think that we are going to have yet another awesome coverage of E3 this year sure is heartwarming. 
     

      Anyone remember this? :P.

    They'll probably be archived on the giantbomb justin.tv account. You can actually even go back and watch last year's E3 stuff.

    I took the week off from work so I could enjoy E3 in all its glory. One day I hope to actually stand in an E3 convention center and feel the energy of the crowd, but for now minimum wage keeps that dream just that.

    I respect the GB guys very much. I love their coverage and hearing their thoughts on things... But, if I see one sign of Leigh Alexander, I'm out. I've never met her. Don't know her at all, but I Just Can't Stand Listening To Her :/

    Nothing can prepare you!
     
    I guess I'm the only one who won't miss Paul. I'd listen to a 1or2-person podcast starring Paul. But I just can't stand anyone who doesn't let others speak in groups, then proceeds to take the longest root to the goddamn point. Especially when it's their host, and doubly so when the hosts are at E fucking 3 with a bunch of info to drop, who have a hard time keeping on topic with no guests whatsoever.

    Keeping hope Johnny will get better in time, though. I'd miss his appearance as, like the bomb squad, he's the best kind of jackass, complete with hilarious storytelling (or story bumbling, whichever the case may be). 
    And anyone with the first name Adam is also welcome.

    Man, that opening paragraph is so good.

    But dear god don't bring fucking Leigh Alexander again. I couldn't make it more than 10 minutes into the last two podcasts she was on, so having her means I won't be listening to yet another one.

    Is there a good schedule of keynotes and major demos out there? I'm trying to figure out if I need to skip work on Monday or not (between PST/EST conversions and my nightshift schedule I could really use a good time table of events)

    Also, SO FUCKING READY for E3

    Paul Barnett is a true raconteur. I can only take solace in knowing that She Who Shall Not Be Named won't be there, either.

    Although, last year when Paul and Vinny walked out on her harpy antics and held their own broadcast from the porch, that was awesome.
