E3 is over....welp, TGS hype baby! This train never stops!

Well then, the time is nigh. If you got tired of hearing about E3, good luck

And so, the raiding of electronics stores begins

And thus ends the temporary freedom for all.

Just another month left, hooo boi

So close, yet so far..

Similar to the NES Classic, which old console should be re-released?

What was your favorite E3 conference?

Okay, we're about a week away from E3, so I guess it's time to make the discussion topics! This topic will be focused on Microsoft and their conference that's happening on Monday, June 13th, at 9:30 AM PST/12:30 PM EST! You guys can make your predictions/guesses of what might happen here and your reactions of what happens!

Where will you watch E3?

So surprised no one has covered this yet. This is big news for anyone who has had this pipe dream for several years. It is finally going to happen! The first game getting Cross-Networking is Rocket League, which already allows PS4 users to play with PC users. No Xbox is going to join in and players across all platforms are able to play together! Catch is, Microsoft is opening this network, hoping that others will participate with them. So we need to hope Sony is open to participate in this. I have no doubts that they will. This is a great opportunity for gaming in general. It's a huge milestone that we need to make as a community. Here are some sources: Microsoft will allow Xbox gamers to play against PS4 and PC players | The Verge Microsoft Wants PS4 and Xbox One to Connect Online - GameSpot Cross-platform play coming to Rocket League as Xbox Live opens up to other consoles | Polygon

Just...no...

So the other day I found out that Microsoft is apparently giving the entire Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack away for free on the Microsoft store. At first I thought that it might be some type of deal, like you have to buy some app or whatever to get it, but no it's completely free you just have to make a Microsoft account (if you don't have one). I just wanted to throw this out there just in case people didn't know about it or don't own the soundtrack yet, I'm not sure how long it lasts so I would recommend checking it out now if you don't own it. Here's the link to the Microsoft store: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/music/album/various-artists/nightmare-before-christmas-original-soundtrack-special-edition/8d6kgx5cqwpg

Does Microsoft have a mascot?

E3 2015 is quickly making its way around the corner, scheduled to start on June 16 and lasts the usual course, ending on June 18. It won't be long until it gets here. Not much is known about what all we'll see there so far, but out of what we do know, what is your most anticipated reveal this year? As much as I wanna say it's the more in depth new Zelda gameplay, I'm actually anticipating the reveal of Kingdom Hearts 3's fresh new look, gameplay, and other new information that we may get at E3 during Sony's press conference. If we get nothing before then, I'm sure we'll see some actual gameplay in at least one world with a new trailer that shows of Sora's new appearance. I think we're just about at the point where we'll see at least that much, for as much as it actually comes out to be.

Last year was a terrible year for video game awards shows. Fans of gaming glued their eyes to a tormenting 2 hour long VGX pilot. Spike usually handled the VGAs really well. Unfortunately, the slipped up and thanks that, Spike has been completely dropped from this years VGAs. In fact, we're in for a treat this year. Geoff Keighley returns to host this years VGAs, however, the Board that looks over and runs just about everything from polling votes to announcing awards, consists of big shot executives such as Reggie Fils-Aime and Phil Spencer. The Game Awards 2014 will be held on December 5th. Source: http://www.gamnesia.com/news/widely-hated-vgx-is-being-replaced-by-a-new-awards-show-with-reggie-phil-sp#.VGIFKyspDQ8

Microsoft hid it in plain sight, or at least a likely solution to all the hints they gave us.The first Xbox was simply called Xbox. And the first in the series is usually represented by the number one....The second Xbox was called the Xbox 360, and 360 degrees=1 revolution aka starting right where you left off.The third Xbox was called the Xbox One....It appears Microsoft is stuck in a never ending loop of 1s...but it might be more sinister than that. Did you ever wonder why they pushed so hard for Kinnect and requiring an internet connection to play games? Well I may have uncovered the truth....Their next system will be named the Xbox Alpha, and will be presented as a savior for the game industry, while using features adopted from the one.... This system will be mostly fine, but it will be opening people's heart to the Xboxes, making it as common as TVs...The final system (probably the one after the Alpha) will be the Xbox Omega, it will be presented as the end all and be all of all consoles... but most of all it shall be the anti-christ! We must down the Xbox before it can down us!

Yesterday, Xbox head, Phil Spencer accepted Notch's challenge to take on the Ice Bucket challenge and donate/raise awareness for ALS Research. In doing so, he challenged PlayStation Boss Shuhei Yoshida, Nintendo of America President, Reggie Fils-aime, and Valve's Gabe Newell. Today, Reggie took to the official Nintendo of America twitter to respond and announce that he would one up the challenge.
