This has been a good week to be a geek. With E3 and WWDC going on at the same time, I now have a lot of stuff to look forward to.
E3 has made the gamer in me very happy. I haven’t been keeping up with the announcements and videos as much I wanted to, but what I’ve seen is great. I had already heard about most of the games, but seeing/learning more about them made me excited. I’m most looking forward to Mass Effect 3, Uncharted 3, Resistance 3, Bioshock Infinite, and the Tomb Raider game that made me think I was listening to a porno. I’m sure there are many others that I’m forgetting. I’m not that interested in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 or Battlefield 3, but I’ll probably give them a try at some point. I’m lukewarm on the Kinect stuff that was shown off. It could end up being fun. I’m not all that excited about the console announcements. PSVita looked okay, but I’m not into handheld gaming anymore. Wii U is a weird name, but I thought Wii was a weird name when I first heard it. I’m sure I’ll get one eventually, but will I use it? It will be nice, though, to play Nintendo games in HD.
The WWDC is also taking place. I’m not a big Apple fanatic, but I am interested in iOS5. I hope the notification system is better than what they have now and I hope it doesn’t make my 3GS slow. iCloud could be cool and exciting, but right now it doesn’t seem like a big deal.
Back to drooling over stuff I can’t have yet!
