EDIT 2: The press conference is over. Thanks to everybody who participated in the chat room.
EDIT 1: The Microsoft conference was postponed by a half-hour, giving me a bit more time to make this post more usable for you, dear readers. You're welcome.
So I'll admit right now that I didn't make much of a grand plan for us to cover E3, the Electronics Entertainment Expo. But you know who did? The fine folks at Insert-Disc! So, while we will be providing our typical round-up posts for each major press conference, I (as well as a few other Ani-Gamers staffers if they'd like to) will be hanging out in the Insert-Disc Cover It Live chat room during the press conferences. After the break, I've included an embed of I-D's Cover It Live chat room (so you can join from right inside this post) and links to a variety of live streams of the Microsoft press conference. With luck, I should be doing the same thing for both of the other major conferences.
Live streams of the press conference:
Of course, once the press conference is over, head on over to Insert-Disc to let the guys know how much fun you had in the chat room and how much you love them for actually having an organized plan for their coverage.
"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE, MTV?!"
The bastion of American pop culture might think that "those japanimation things" are far below them, but fear not, fellow otaku! We shall smite the ranks of MTV for their folly of trying to turn some of us into "normal people" with their reality show Made.
In what form shall our retribution rain upon their cowering heads? Well of course, it shall be in the form of votes; votes for Kamina of Gurren Lagann as MTV's "Baddest Badass." I mean, John McClane is pretty badass and Batman is sort of cool, but let's face it – Kamina is the most hardcore guy ever. The dude literally defines manliness! And so, Ani-Gamers stands with AnimeVice and Japanator in showing MTV that anime is far more badass than mainstream American entertainment.
Head over to MTV's site immediately to tell them why Kamina deserves to be #1 on their final Top 10 list. Remember: Vote otaku. Vote awesome. Vote Kamina.
Correction: The "Worst Picture" nomination for Speed Racer was from the Golden Raspberry awards, not MTV. The incorrect line referencing the nomination has been removed from this post due to the error.
