Day Zero Live

Hmmm...non-technical

-bathroom overflowed

-wild animal on the loose

-super secret closed door presentation of HL3???

Someone in chat joked they got robbed, but that actually seems pretty plausible with how vague everyone is being. If the police were involved, you'd want to be as discrete as possible.

I know I'm just doing OCD worrying. Not trying to spread panic, but I'm genuinely concerned about the duders.

Did someone get arrested? Is that the reason?

See I told you, porn.

If the studio was robbed I'm pretty sure that would fall under technical problems.

Jack Tretton showed up and was like "This set is mine bitches"

Guests late due to road block or something pedestrian I hope.

We should speculate more.

I guess, but wouldn't they also cancel the show over something like that. A delay implies that it will still happen at some point.

All I'm saying is that I would prefer we get a little bit more information/communication from our duders, but nothing we can really do about it.

They wouldn't hold up the chat if guests were late, that'd be silly.

I bet theres people filming in their space

God I hope they weren't robbed.

While we wait, why don't we ponder just how much Sony must be losing on each console to have it at $399?

I'm guessing $50-75.

What else you got?

TOM NOOK CAME TO GET THAT MONEY, SON.

They are still trying to figure out how to get Jeff out of this windowed room.

Now I can't stop thinking that the studio they are in is primarily used for porn. And I don't know if I'm grossed out or turned on.

On the one hand everything is probably covered in semen, on the other hand everything is covered in semen.

@korwin: I was thinking more generic law trouble. Could be an issue with permits.

Well, they said "non-technical," so I guess that kinda rules out getting robbed, right? I mean, having equipment stolen is a technical issue... I think. I'm thinking Brad fell asleep and got locked in the conference hall.

@kane_233: CNN couldn't exist without speculation.

More likely ;)

Ditka.

"The PS4 has a bill of materials that adds up to around $275 (£419), with the new Microsoft console costing around $325 (£213) to build." According to estimates by Pachter.

Even if he's off a bit, it still seems like they're making a profit.

There's a picture I'm never getting out of my head for quite some time. Thanks!

What was the deal with no Sunday livestream? I thought there was going to be one.

@azteck: No Max did, on behalf of Microsoft.

To be perfectly honest. It's not cool. They've been doing this shit for years. Make it happen or don't. Just tell us before this becomes the Microsoft of video game websites.

I've been awake too long.

ALIENS.

BEES.

Alien bees. Other stuff.

This. I bet its something totally stupid we aren't thinking of. Like the place is completely empty, no furniture, no chairs etc.

I wish that they would just say if they are still doing the live stream or not. It's 10 to 7 in the morning where I'm at and I'm awfully tired y'all.

They left the alien cube at the office.

Didn't they state at some point they weren't going to be taking a loss on the PS4? I recall seeing that in a news article. Granted, that could have changed so they could screw over Microsoft that much more.

Eh, I'd guess he's rather off on that. Though, I do suppose it could be closer to $25-50. If both consoles are making a profit out of the gate, I'm a bit amazed.

"We are currently getting the Internet working and hope to get some streaming going. However... The majority of our equipment has been removed from our shooting space and we are looking into our options there."

Jeff in chat.

LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE OUR FIRST E3 MYSTERY, GANG.

Every new tweet from someone unrelated to GB drives me a little more insane.

I don't really see some shitty little code enforcer showing up in the middle of the night waving the law in their faces.

Boooring. I'm subscribing to the horse invasion theory.

They got stuck in the anti gravity room because they equipped the wrong armor

@obsideondarman said:

Seriously. Cancel it already if it's not happening. It's late and this is getting stupid.

Well fuck.

Jeff said their equipment was stolen. Looks like a serious delay

They stated that they weren't expecting a "major loss" like the PS3 at launch. Some have interpreted that to mean a profit, but I'm guessing it just means a smaller loss.

Seems they were robbed. Dammit. Jeff in chat just said

The majority of our equipment has been removed from our shooting space and we are looking into our options there.

I somehow suspected this would happen. Oh, right, because this always happens with GB.

Jesus Christ, I hate thieves SO MUCH.

Just got confirmation from chat: most of their filming equipment was robbed.

from chat

• JeffWe'll probably have to talk to police and stuff like that at some point. Anyway, we're looking into our options. We still have one camera left and should be able to do something. At some point.

It's only 11PM on the west coast. It's not that late.

Remember when Ryan said their situation couldn't be worse than last year? Well it is.

Where did he say this?

Man, FUCK L.A.
