    It's amazing that Microsoft managed to host an E3 conference which made Sony's Giant Enemy Crab and Riiiiiiiiiiddgge Raaaaaaaaccceer from 2006 seem positively sensible in comparison.

    Hoping he does Ubisoft, Nintendo, and EA too. The Plants Vs Zombies stuff should be easy to work with.
    He's already said he'll do Nintendo. Hoping for more as well though!

    Attack its weakpoint... for massive damage!

    I think we'll get a screenshot, AT MOST. AT MOST.
    My bet is on a pre-rendered CGI trailer with a limited(roughly 3-4) character cast made up of obvious choices, so the rest can be slowly revealed over the coming months one by one.

    Seems we were both wrong.:eek:

    Grounding might be in the spotlight for being suckered into developing games they cannot play by Microsoft, but they're also working on an unannounced Nintendo game.

    I'm finding myself rapidly getting addicted to everything those guys do.

    Just from what I've read, mainly cause I don't have time to watch every press conference or anything like that, I'd say Sony won E3. Big time. No contest. Sure, Microsoft appealed to their fanboys with exclusives, but let's be serious here. If the XBox One really looks like it's going to not sell well, these devs will jump ship fast. Basically, E3 has been the typical "Sony and Microsoft take shots at each other while Nintendo sits on the sidelines with a large popcorn and a drink". Except this time, Sony curb-stomped Microsoft. Badly. If Microsoft doesn't get its crap together soon, it's going to be back to Sony and Nintendo by themselves again.

    I actually wouldn't mind.
    And in 10 years we can all be nostalgic and say: the ONE was such a good console. Too bad it killed Microsoft. As if Windows 8 and Office 2013 wasn't enough.

    Meh if it was my guess I would say if Xbone fails (Like it deserves too) then my guess is that it could go the route of Sega where their exclusives come out on other consoles. Then wouldn't it be ironic if Xbox exclusives came out on Wii U.

    The universe would implode.

    But in a good way.

    I am quite amused by this.

    but moreso with the usage of the word "curb-stomped." :D

    I swear, the past couple generations of the console wars have felt like Nintendo has just been waiting for Sony to obliterate Microsoft or vice versa. They've been marching to the beat of their own drum and just enjoying the ride.

    Probably the most important award of E3 and grats to Bethesda for winning

    Yeah, as a former Minecraft modder I tend to ignore anything related to Yogcast.

    That's a bit odd considering the yogscast tend to give mods decent spotlight...

    also only 2 of the like 10 members of the yogscast do mod reviews

    Yes, they did, but you did forget the debacle around the Yogbox where they were being massive dicks towards the modders. I don't know the specifics, but from what I can remember, Yogcast made a modpack without asking permission and (for a significant amount of time) refused to do so, even though most modders would have been completely willing to do so. When being called out for it, they acted like bigger dickwads, or at least that's what I understand. I've had several conversations with fellow (former) modders, and they all came to agree that yes, they are pretty much douchelords, and they aren't even that good a mod reviewers anyway.

    Ironically, most modders became former modders because they also agreed that Minecraft became shit after Notch started swimming in money and hired modders to update Minecraft, which, according to some, was a very fucking stupid thing to do. I mean, all modders are good at is adding new useless crap. They generally don't fix what is wrong with something.

    EDIT: Also, to give the whole thing context, there's a reason even Command & Conquer modders don't really allow for people to use assets of their own mods into other mods without permission. Heck, I'd be surprised if any modding community of any game is okay with modpacks without permission.

    Not really going to defend them too much as I find the other guys in the yogscast much more hilarious/interesting than Simon/Lewis(not saying they are bad, but the other guys are a lot more interesting than they are), but that seriously sounds like a lot of the mod-packs that got popular. I remember Tekkit having the exact same issues. Actually, why does it matter if they create a modpack without permission? Assuming they aren't selling the pack/saying all of these mods were their work, I don't see a problem in grouping together free mods that they liked.

    Second, aside from some poor jokes, how exactly do you "review" a mod? You install the mod, use whatever features are on it, and then that's it. What exactly else is there to do on a "mod review"?

    I hate to double post, but I feel that these guys making another video is worthy enough.
