We are finally in the midst of E3 and the majority of the press conferences have taken place. There has already been a fairly mixed bag and I would like to take some time here to gather my thoughts (a mix of positive and negative) and dive into what I thought about each of these conferences.

Danny’s E3 Wish List 2016
I used to really look forward to E3 every year. I would count down the days, try to take shifts at work that didn’t interfere with the big name conferences, and watch all the coverage from the floor I could get. But for the past few years, E3 hasn’t really been a big blip on my radar. I actually missed E3 2014 entirely. I saw zero coverage from it. And it didn’t really bother me. I wasn’t rarely playing any new games that were coming out, just mostly old Xbox 360 and Steam games I could play with my friends online. Continue reading

From most anticipated games in development, to new IP’s and software, E3 is your one stop destination for the latest in video games. Without further ado, here are the top things that I am most excited for at this year’s E3 expo. Continue reading
A Thank You to EpicNameBro (from a gamer who used to fear the Souls Series)
Note: I originally posted this on EpicNameBro‘s new subreddit – r/enbro. For those of you who are unfamiliar, ENB (Marcus) has a channel on YouTube where he posts Let’s Plays and other video game content (primarily focusing on the Souls Series). I am posting this here in hopes that even one person will read this and be introduced to his wonderful videos. He quickly became and still is my favorite YouTuber. He has a passion for games and his community and is very interacive with his fans on his Twitter account. I encourage you to at the very least check out a couple of his videos I will link here (scroll down) and if you enjoy – check him out and subscribe!
Read on for my letter to Marcus detailing how I became a fan of the Souls Series and his content:
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (Review)
THE CYCLE IS COMPLETE
I remember in 2009, when I went into Best Buy with 60 bucks in hand, looking for a game that I could have fun with over the summer. The pickings were rather slim, with nothing that I felt was interesting. Then, I stumbled upon the last copy of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. I thought to myself “Hmm, well there really isn’t anything else I like here, might as well just get this.” Little did I know that this decision would spark a passionate love for a saga that was established well before my birth. I have become engrossed with the lore and saga of Metal Gear. From Guns of the Patriot, my first Metal Gear game (and by far my favorite), to the emotional roller coaster of the saga’s prequel Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, to the 8-bit Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, and even the non-canon Snake’s Revenge, Acid, and Portable Ops, my friends can attest to my passion and love of this Saga. That is why I am more than honored, after finally completing this game 100%, to be giving a full review of the final entry into the Metal Gear Saga, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
