Thanks DieH@rd, this is extremely helpful

 

[BRiT]

Thank you for the compilation DieHard, I edited in a couple more stream links to your post.

The crazy starts tomorrow. While it's still calm just want to thank you moderators in advance for the extra work over the next couple of days. If not at the least thanks Brit for setting these up.

This is the most excited I've ever been for an e3 as all consoles appear to have a great show and PC! Yay doom!

 

[DieH@rd]

One fix, giantbomb stream will be on /chat and not /live.

So I'll be watching the Microsoft event live tomorrow at 17.30 BST and sleeping through the Bethesda event (tomorrow 3am) and Sony event (Tuesday 2am) because it's the middle of the morning. Though even if Sony had their event during the evening BST time I'd probably sleep through it because Sony think two and a half hours is sensible length for a press conference.

Sony conferences are better downloaded so you can fast forward through the suit speak and while they tell you what they've done, which I already know because it's now history and we all live in a linear time universe.

Am I understanding that right, that US times aren't 24 hour? Do American's not do 24 hour clock? But otherwise, great table for easy reference.

Actually last two Sony E3 press conference were ~1h 45mins.

I expect same length this year, although this time they have to start seriously promoting Morpheus.

Lol Sorry shifty.
I do, but most Americans (continental Americas) don't.

The average American is below average, and thus the concept of 24 hour clock is unnerving to them. They'd rather use AM and PM designations and completely fuck that up when it comes to Midday and Midnight; 12 AM is Midnight and 12 PM is Noon. Instead they think its 12 AM for noon because it comes after 11:59 AM and dont switch to PM until 1 PM, so nearly an entire hour they have mapped to the wrong time (12:00 to 12:59). The same thing with midnight and 1 AM, but reversed.

Silly people.

A 24 hour clock is much easier to understand.

Isn't 24 hour taught in schools? It's introduced here in the UK in primary education, and children tend to prefer it to AM/PM. I can imagine the US sticking with archaic representations though because that seems to be their thing. Imperial measurements still? Hah!

Its may be taught in passing, but just as likely extremely limited as their coverage of metric system. Ie: a footnote and 1 day at most.

Stupid imperial systems.

Stupid imperial systems.

The British devised the imperial system almost two hundred years ago when drunk and have mostly also abandoned it. The only good imperial system is this:

GAHHH @ that Sony conference right in the middle of the god damn night! If I'd been a young man I'd just pulled an all-nighter, but now? No way, I'll wake up the day after, look up a link for the inevitable youtube upload...

With regards to Squeenix, will they ever make that demo they showed off at the PS4 unveiling into a proper game (the one with some girl being chased or maybe she was sneaking around, and a demon being summoned or something like that, it was so long ago I can't quite remember anymore what happened...), or will it simply remain a tech demo forever?

What about that knight game and the dragon, and all that fire? (Was Capcom though, I think? Hell, how about I wish for some god damn long term memory also in addition to being young again? Rofl... )

You mean the Final Fantasy VII cinematic remake with the train?
