(11:44:33 AM) bustin98: anyone impressed with microsoft's showing yesterday?

(11:44:38 AM) Neal Ronaghan (Staff News Writer): not really

(11:44:44 AM) nemyhlovecraft: actually yes

(11:44:50 AM) Les Thomas (Staff News Writer): FF XIII

(11:44:53 AM) Neal Ronaghan: i'm excited for rock band 2 on 360 and some other games but eh...avatars? channels?

(11:45:05 AM) bustin98: yes, FF was a cool thing to announce

(11:45:07 AM) ShyGuy: not really

(11:45:11 AM) Nick DiMola (Staff News Writer): not feeling it either

(11:45:13 AM) Neal Ronaghan: the ending was fantastic though

(11:45:13 AM) Les Thomas: is there a preferred site for viewing

(11:45:16 AM) ShyGuy: Galaga was game of the show

(11:45:18 AM) Les Thomas: or one

(11:45:23 AM) Neal Ronaghan: i tried ign for microsoft and it worked

(11:45:24 AM) Nick DiMola: o yeah galage looked hot

(11:45:29 AM) Nick DiMola: galaga*

(11:45:49 AM) Neal Ronaghan: i still need to get pac-man: ce at some point...

(11:46:19 AM) bustin98: avatars seems like a waste, but its like 'Nintendo took it this far, and we're taking it to the next level'

(11:46:35 AM) Neal Ronaghan: it looks like it might be too complicated

(11:46:40 AM) Neal Ronaghan: part of the mii charm was the simplicity

(11:46:52 AM) Neal Ronaghan: also, is there really an urge to play uno and scene-it with avatars?

(11:46:57 AM) Neal Ronaghan: miis had wii sports

(11:47:11 AM) Nick DiMola: yup i agree with neal

(11:47:18 AM) Greg Leahy (UK Correspondent): I've always felt the need to customise my Mii's footwear, that's a system seller

(11:47:22 AM) Neal Ronaghan: haha

(11:47:33 AM) Nick DiMola: lol

(11:47:44 AM) bustin98: need to be able to attach 'heelies'

(11:47:55 AM) Neal Ronaghan: i told my friend who hadn't been online yet to check it out and he just replied "is there a wii sports for these things?"

(11:48:06 AM) Neal Ronaghan: i think that's going to be the general market's reply to it

(11:48:34 AM) bustin98: gears of war 2 multiplayer with avatar support

(11:48:35 AM) Neal Ronaghan: miis are fun by themselves by the joy of them, at least to me, is to see them in wii sports or show up randomly in mario kart

(11:49:07 AM) Neal Ronaghan: and, like omgzwow, i can't wait to make b-movies with my friends...

(11:49:12 AM) Greg Leahy: Mario Kart would not be as fun without Dr. Zoidberg cheering me on, I'll say that

(11:49:27 AM) Neal Ronaghan: hah, i have a zoidberg too

(11:49:40 AM) Neal Ronaghan: i also have one thats called "***face" that i found on check mii out

(11:49:58 AM) Neal Ronaghan: needless to say, i can't play online with him...

(11:50:24 AM) Greg Leahy: but somehow **** face manages to get through, great standards Nintendo

(11:50:29 AM) ShyGuy: noe has a stream

(11:50:39 AM) Mike Gamin: ok, i'm back up

(11:50:42 AM) Nick DiMola: **** face, very nice

(11:50:46 AM) Mike Gamin (Previews Editor): i vote IGN so we are all watching the same thing

(11:50:58 AM) Les Thomas: lol

(11:51:02 AM) ShyGuy: IGN doesn't work in linux :(

(11:51:15 AM) Mike Gamin: Aw lame

(11:51:26 AM) Mike Gamin: I got it tow ork on firefox in OSX

(11:51:28 AM) Neal Ronaghan: yea, ign worked fine for me at work yesterday with the microsoft pc, so i'm sticking to it for nintendo

(11:51:32 AM) Mike Gamin: you wouldn't think that was too far off

(11:52:24 AM) Mike Gamin: I'm all set up with the projector

(11:52:25 AM) Mike Gamin: hurray

(11:53:37 AM) Greg Leahy: IGN was pretty bad for me yesterday so I'm going to have the NoE stream running as well, of course it could be my connection that's the problem

(11:54:12 AM) Mike Gamin: anyone not watching ign, try and be nice about spoilers :)

(11:54:23 AM) Neal Ronaghan: probably. ign's videos and such hate me at my house...but at work it works

(11:54:37 AM) Neal Ronaghan: i'll just peroidically go "omg! i can't believe it!"

(11:55:03 AM) Nick DiMola: im waiting on gamespot, so ill be quiet

(11:55:09 AM) Mike Gamin: So I just declared across the office that everyone needed to stop working and come watch the press conference... and no one took me up on that offer

(11:58:23 AM) Mike Gamin: I'm not sure if i'll do this, but does anyone have a problem with this transcript possibly going up as a feature on the site?

(11:58:25 AM) Mazda3Spaz: watchign on g4 but i'll be here enjoying the chat

(11:59:04 AM) vudu: a feature seems overkill. sounds more like a funhouse thread.

(11:59:08 AM) RABicle: GAH! CANT FIND THE CAT! CAN SEE NITNENDO SCREEN!

(11:59:23 AM) Mike Gamin: well we'll see how it comes out :)

(12:00:23 PM) ShyGuy: there is techno music

(12:00:25 PM) vudu: if you do it you might want to a) edit out our screen names and edit in our nwr user names and b) edit the timing of responses for clarity

(12:00:33 PM) Athrun Zala entered the room.

(12:00:59 PM) RABicle: no problem with the transcript going up

(12:01:03 PM) Nick DiMola: gamespot still blank
