Well, it's the last day here at E3. I'm pretty exhausted, and am kind of looking forward to heading home and conking out on the bed. But hey, it's been pretty great so far. Yesterday I had a chance to play Mirror's Edge and Rhythm Heaven, both of which basically made the trip worthwhile for me. You can catch up with some of my impressions over on Destructoid, but for now here's me telling my favorite man in the world, Chad Concelmo, about the more interesting instruments available in WiiMusic. Woo hoo!

eee.threee.
So, I'm here!
Can't talk much as I have plenty of posts to write up for Destructoid, but things are pretty alright so far. This morning I woke up at 6 to be ready in time for the Nintendo press conference at 9, which sadly was pretty disappointing. Their biggest announcement was the introduction of the WiiMotion Plus, which essentially just makes the Wiimote work the way it was supposed to in the first place. The end all announcement was WiiMusic, which as you can tell, I did not have the most riveting impressions of.
Since then, I've been running around to various meetings... rapidly taking notes and trying to maintain a clam sense of sanity. I have yet to make it to the showroom floor to try any games hands-on, but all in due time I'm sure. Oh, and I'm also trying on Bionic arms. Pretty cool right?
p.s. I got a haircut :D

what.i.found.on.the.internet.last.night.
Last night, I went to my local Internet and found some really fantastic things! Since I haven't posted in a while (well, I did just go post on my other blog... actually) I figured I'd brush the dust off this blog and encrust it with some Internet G-E-M-Z! Here we go!:
1. V-E-L-O-U-R-I-A
The most amazing little girl with her most amazing father (and my good friend) singing Velouria by Pixies. I actually saw this a long time ago, but now I'm sharing!
2. The Faces of Anime - Bill Clinton

thank.you.friends.
I was having a pretty miserable day today. A vicious combination of stress, frustration, and loneliness typically will do the trick. Thank the gods that I have good friends, like ee.en, who even after he was drenched with my personal sorrows, went out of his way to send me this song. Interpret it how you like, but listening to A Postcard to Nina was exactly what I needed.
Nina I just want to check in
'cause I think about you every second
So I send you this postcard just to say
Don't let anyone stand in your way

Cathartic aural experiences also go well with a hefty dose of internet lulz. I took this Internet Culture quiz out of boredom, and was awfully pleased with my 184 score (as demonstrated below). Alex took the quiz too, but since he knows teh HTML's, ultimately pwned me with his score of OVER 9000. Thank you, Alex.
