Hanging out with Wu, Grim1, Tex, Duncan, Biggy and others, I can't say thanks enough for the awesome fun afternoon! It was my first big convention-type thing, and first time meeting some more awesome people from a community I know and love.

Even though she doesn't read either forum, I have to go on record with a HUGE Thank You to my wife and her mom, who watched our 2-month-old allowing me to go. My family ROCKS!

I'll be uploading my vlog for yesterday as soon as it's done exporting, so stay tuned for that. It's got some cool cameos and impromptu "interviews" (if you can call what I do 'interviewing') with some pretty awesome people. Like I said; I was a Big Little Kid yesterday. :D

After everything Sony said about used games, price and their approach to "being online", and how much they seem to be courting Bungie, I'm actually leaning more towards a PS4 than an XBone; a situation I NEVER expected to be in! The silver lining is though, to play Destiny, you don't have to buy a next-gen console, which is nice. That being said, if/when I do end up getting one, it's VERY likely that it WON'T be an XBone.

Now for more Destiny-specific things...

To anyone who saw the reveal and were still left saying, "yeah, and?", let me just repeat what SEVERAL Bungie peeps said at the afterparty; wait 'til you play it. Wait 'til you can actually experience the moment when you and a bunch of other people you don't know are minding your own business, and something happens in the area that just pulls you all together...like a tank dropping in from the sky, forcing you all to work together to stay alive. Wait 'til you play and realize that the "pregame lobby" is no more, and that the world of Destiny that you wander, that in fact IS the "pregame lobby". To be clear, I didn't actually experience any of that; we didn't get to play Destiny. Wu said it best though: "When I hear Jason Jones say how excited HE is about something, I get excited, I know it's gonna be something cool." (I may have paraphrased from memory a tad, there was beer...nearby...) :)

Anyway, enough of my ramblings. Suffice it to say, I had an AWESOME day yesterday, and I am SUPER excited for Destiny!!

Here's a few highlights. :)

Looks like you had a lot of fun!

There sure were a lot of people in attendance at the Sony event. I suppose that's where all the cheering towards the Microsoft assbeating spiel came from.

I hope you guys had plenty of fun!

Interesting. Thank you for this. I would like to note, while this doesn't answer a question I keep asking, it helps. At the very least I know know what to ask next time a question submissions occur.

Congratulations on being able to go to E3. . . you monster.

Enjoy! :D

Enjoy! :D

7:38 - I start to hear buzzing. Your file or youtube?

I heard it too after uploading. Weird, 'cause it's not in the original file. Blame Youtube?

You met Jason Jones! Awesome dude! And Wu! And Bryan looking all sorts of fancy! And Tex! And if I keep naming names it's going to get ridiculous, but look at all the people I love! I'm glad you had a great time dude. Thanks for the video, I loved it! :D

That's great, mid7night. Saw lots of DBOers. Next time let them introduce themselves!

I finally got to check these out! And holy cow, the extreme amounts of fan happiness and jealousy I am feeling for you right mow cannot be healthy. I look forward to more, mid7night. Keep having an awesome time!

Heh, kinda missed that one
