Today is Day 1 of Evil Avatar's E3 Coverage (http://www.evilavatar.com/e3/e3.php) for the year 2008. Nick (bapenguin) and Scott (Psykoboy2) should already be in Los Angeles and are probably sleeping away right now since it is 6am in the morning there.

So far on today's schedule we have:

10:30am PT/1:30pm ET - Microsoft Press Conference (Thread (http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57542)/Liveblog (http://www.evilavatar.com/e3/e3.php?conference=2))

1pm PT/4pm ET - Electronic Arts Press Conference (Thread (http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57541)/Liveblog (http://www.evilavatar.com/e3/e3.php?conference=3))

7pm CT/8pm ET - Discussion with me in the Evil Avatar Chatroom (http://www.bapenguin.com/chatroom/)
Each link to a thread will allow you to discuss things happening at the conference, the Liveblog is done by Nick and/or Scott at the actual event, so be ready to have two windows open!

The last scheduled item (w/Central Time) is in lieu of the non-existent Evil Avatar Radio (http://www.evilavatarradio.com) show for this week with Scott in Los Angeles. I figured since we already use the chatroom at that time that we might as well do so today. This may happen throughout the week, we'll see how busy things get here.

If any news comes up, we'll be sure to post it up in the news section like this morning's Dragon Age: Origins PR piece (http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57561) from Electronic Arts.

We hope you enjoy our coverage throughout the week, also feel free to check out the E3 Previews (http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56719) that were put up last week.

Thanks to everyone involved in putting this together and providing it to us! Very appreciated, especially for guys like me trapped behind a desk all day.

No problemo man. I'm pretty excited about this, although I am anxious about the amount of stuff in the form of news that could be unloaded.

This will be a good week. Not only is there E3 I'm getting two kittens :D.

Woo, do you know what kind (i.e. Calico, Siamese, etc.)?

[Deunnero]

I am looking forward to the quality reporting to sustain me during this difficult week at work!

We're awake. Just past 7am. Bap's being a bathroom hog at the moment. Well, more so since I REALLY have to get in there.

You guys aren't together in the bathroom? I'm disappointed :D

Their first thing is in a little under 3 1/2 hours...Microsoft Press Conference as stated in the OP. I do plan to show their itinerary for the day every day they're there.

Keep us updated on the bathroom crisis :)

Can't wait for the live E3 coverage...all from the sanctity of my futon...

Aw boo. I saw that 10:30 press conference but figured there'd be other stuff going on before that. That means i need to wait until 1:30 for the first news.

Yeah, I have to go to the living room and see if G4 is going to really be commercial free or not. I have the laptop all set up for possible alternatives if I'm not enthused by the coverage. I'll be posting from there and possibly doing news items as well...multitasking, gotta love it!

I put some news up this morning on Dragon Age: Origins. I'll be posting news whenever I see it come along the wire at several press sites. There could be more news before 10:30am PT, no one knows.

I was thinking the same thing, except I'm at work with no TV. Did find this (http://e3.g4tv.com/e32008/press_conf.aspx)though. G4 is streaming some of press conferences. Hope so.

Not big enough to make it here (http://www.evilavatar.com/e3/e3.php)?

You talking about the Dragon Age news? It's there at the bottom under the heading E3 News. Takes 5-10 minutes to show up on that page from my understanding.

The stuff in the red box is stuff that Nick and Scott will be adding.

Oh yeh... oops.

Sounds like using the bathroom first was an act of self-preservation on his part. :D

Just a heads up, but I think the event calendar linked to from the E3 page is set to the wrong timezone. It's set to Eastern but should probably be Pacific.

Has a mix of both actually...heh.
