The fallout over the President’s press conference spilled over some more
in yesterday’s Sunday Morning News Circuits. It seems like while the White
House Administration staff are more like firefighters trying to put out
little anti-war flip-flopper GOP members. De facto Repubs are not only
beginning to see the light (as they watch the US coffers drain at a
alarming rate), but they are now starting to express itself.
We have a wild fire of a discontentment among the American people. It
seems that those who were faithful to the cause are finding refuge in
speaking out. What does this mean to those fighting to bring this war
to an end? Stay the course… Victory is upon us.
In other news, it seems like the Electronic Entertainment Industry,
the industry responsible for bringing games to people, are scaling back
on their biggest event E3. This year’s E3, from various reports, was a flop.
The ESA decided this year to make everything in the conference scaled
back and generic. This meant that the big dog & pony show that companies
like Microsoft and Nintendo put out for their products just weren’t there or
not advertised like last year’s big bash E3.
Reasons for the scale down are a due to a number of reasons such as costs to
companies, cost to the industry to host the event in Santa Monica, CA, and an
attempt to pander to the smaller companies who are usually dominated by big
exhibits by Sony or Nintendo. The result was a big flop and now big companies
are considering moving their hype from the main event to their own private
press-shows.
Lets hope that this massive scale down disease doesn’t cross over the Pacific
to Tokyo’s Main Video Game Event.
