Topic: E3 SCRIPT INCOMING!

[RABicle]

Well not quite jsut yet. Sorry guys I had to take a few days off after submitting a bunch of huge assignments at the end of semester but I'm all rejuvenated to be creative again. Here's a sample of the first two paragraphs from my E3 script for this year. It's actually not finished but will be posted at the site linked in my sig once it's all done.
Reggie and I had a coffee last week and we had a lot to catch up on. Turns out he's been so busy kicking arse, taking names and running NOA that he hasn't even had time to plan E3 in years, let alone get Fatal Frame 4 or Disaster: Day of Crisis localised. Who has been planning E3 then? You guessed it, Cammie Dunaway. Last E3 was a real kerfuffle, if you recall my entry last year, Cammie told me that had already done the conference inside an LA McDonalds and it involved Reggie fighting everyone. You can just imagine my sense of betrayal when the actual conference took place and Reggie was retrained to talking about sales while Cammie embarrassed herself in front of the gaming community again. I was telling Reggie over coffee that it was these lies that forced me to sleep with Cammie's daughter out of spite and causing the breakdown of our relationship.

It has to be said, Reggie is such an understanding and caring man. He looks me square in the eye and tells me that I did the right thing to cheat on Cammie with her daughter. He goes on though to explain that, despite my virtuous actions, Cammie had fallen into a state of despair. In her desperate state the currently scheduled conference was to be her coming out on stage and performing interpretive dance of projected 2011 sales figures to the tune of a Super Mario Bros ringtone. Reggie explained that it was up to me to track Cammie down, cheer her up and deliver a solid E3 script. I asked if we needed a high concept one like my rejected Animal Crossing proposal or actually do the McDonald's conference from last year. Reggie told me that we just had to keep it simple because planning time was short. Reggie payed for our coffee with a $100 note and left before they could give him change.

Hope you like it so far, There's a real sense of story here somewhere. This year the conference itself it going to be pretty straightforward but there might be some sorta twist.
Feedback is welcome of course.

EDIT: I'm reading over what I've written jsut there and ****. I think the biggest problem with the way I write is easily tense. I jump all over from the future to present and past tense. Does anyone else notice or have a problem with this?

I always considered that part of the charm of these stories. 

[King of Twitch]

I think it's too plain and mundane: "Reggie told me that we just had to keep it simple because planning time was short. Reggie payed for our coffee..."

Their shtick is that they always think they're planning the most amazing, robust revelations. This year they just might actually do it so the first 2 paragraphs should fils-a-me with excitement.

I recommend a solid wall of text of nothing but Iwata wading through the thousands of audience members, one by one for the the hidden remote in the Wii Party Remote Control Hide and Seek demonstration.

This is part of the reason why your posts are generally so impossible to comprehend.

[ShyGuy]

HEY!!

Shouldn't it be the H.M.S. Groinhammer?

[RABicle]

It really should be. Well, H.M.A.S but I didn't set it.

Also lol,s till haven't finsihed it. I needa break this amazing habit of never going back to something that is half done. You don't realise how often this happens.

Miyamoto crashes through the projector screen riding a shark that consumes an audience member when it lands, then he hops off and pulls a 3DS out of his jacket.

Perm's E3 Script
---------------------------------------------

Typical of a Nintendo covference, there is a gigantic Nintendo Logo in the background. Reggie comes on stage
"as you know I'm all about kicking ass and taking names"

"you see this?"  he pulls out a lengthy contract sheet, lots of text, but the cameras never zoom in enough to see what it is
"im going to get a name on this paper and when I do, it is going to kick ass!"
Saturu Iwata, and Shigeru Miyamoto pop out from back stage
from the other side
Hajima Satomi(president of Sega and a man in a Sonic the Hedgehog costume come out
A table is wheeled out, and Iwata, and Miyamoto sit at the table
Satomi and Sonic sit at the other side
Reggie puts the legal paper on the table
Satoru Iwata signs the paper
and then hands it over to Satomi
The camera zooms in on Satomi, and he smiles
Sonic then gives a victory sign to the camera
Reggie looms over Satomi and hands him a pen
Satomi signs the paper giving Reggie his name

Reggie looks at the contract
He puts it up in the camera
its a contract for ownership
Nintendo owns Sega
"you see this, we got a name taken today, and it DOES kick ass"
they turn around
a monitor scrolls down ready to play a clip
there is a clip of the new SHENMUE game called Shenmue Saga

the graphics are incredable, better than anything on ps3 or xbox360 albeit pixilated looking
is it on a new system?
No, its running on the Wii
Reggie explains that the game takes advantage of a new technology called Unlimited Detail.

they apologize for the blurriness of the video, but then they explain why

Then they announce a new cable that lets Wii do 1080p
Iwata comes out and eats a sandwich

Which puzzles the crowd.
After 2 minutes of quietly munching he turns around
"This Sandwich was delicious, you all have sandwiches under your seats."
The crowd cheers.
Iwata goes to explain his Sandwich business theory.
When he's done eating his sandwich he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a 3ds.

A couple of games are shown all impressive
then Miyamoto comes out, and explains some of the ways he invented for zelda and mario.

A video plays showing the new zelda game, it is nothing like the leaked artwork

next the folks at retro come out and show a trailer for their game which is still untitled

the game looks fantastic, the code name for it is project mayhem
the rest of the conference is all casual games I wont go into detail, it ends on a low note

[ShyGuy]

Death and destruction across the E3 floor. Nintendo kills all comers!

The Nintendo press conference should begin with a big video screen showing the Kinect portion of Microsoft's press conference, with Reggie, Iwata, and Miyamoto on stage cracking jokes about it Mystery Science Theater 3000-style.

[BlackNMild2k1]

just rolling on the floor laughing their asses off would be pretty funny too.

What time is Sony's conference?

[RABicle]

Putting a ! in the link seems to **** things up.

It is done. Pro is proof reading it right now. send me any errors you find please

AND FANTASTIC **** PERM! One day i will goto the effort of creating images.

[UncleBob]

Fixed your link for ya.

[RABicle]

I broke it again. sorry

[King of Twitch]

"Once about half of all the invited people turn out Reggie,"

Needs a comma after 'out'

"Reggie continually motions towards h is watch"

>his<

"lanyard"

Unknown slang detected obviously a badge

"DO   YOU YEILD?"

Hilarious, Reggie invading the other conferences and it's suddenly over.

[UncleBob]

I had it working... :p

On another note, I think it'd be more fun to open the press conference with various quotes from the fun bunch at MS and Sony from the Wii-prelaunch period.
