I love live action trailers, but they are often cheaply made, have horrible actors, and are boring. The ones that Bungie made for Halo are probably my favorites since they look pretty good, though some of the effects look kind of cheap, but they are still either suspenseful or entertaining.
Ray is still vlogging away from E3. The time difference is clearly screwing him up.
I had a chance to check out Atari, Konami, Spike Games, SEGA, and Disney Interactive on the first official day of E3 2010!

An episode heavy on story arc action, with a cliffhanger leaving you ready to tear your hair out. *spoilers*
As Michael and his team rushes to recapture mysterious criminal “Simon” from last episode, things heat up both on the front line and at home.
While Michael runs from cops and federal agents, his mother is being interrogated by the same in her own home.
Usually, Madeline is mostly annoying, aggravating and occasionally pathetic – but here she stepped up to the plate as a Momma Bear, not allowing threats or manipulation to sway here from protecting her son as best she knows how. From the code for “stay away” used during Michael’s father’s drinking binges, to telling the surprisingly engaging and likeable federal agent that if Michael wanted him dead, he’d be DEAD, Madeline Westen stands by her son, no matter whether she doubts him or not.
I think this is one of the most painful episodes I’ve seen of this great show. Forget unhappy love, forget Buy More indignities, forget Dad coming and going: The sight of Chuck doing what must be done, turning into a “real” spy, is truly painful.
It’s difficult to write reviews for Lost more than a day after the episode has aired unless you plan on watching it several times to soak in all the details. Unfortunately, I’ve slacked off on my writing duties as of late, and for the last three episodes of Lost, I’ve fallen behind, forgotten key details that I look back on and curse myself for not remembering and just written some sloppy sentences. I decided that tonight, I would try and write a review while the details were still fresh in my head, and I must admit, it helps quite a lot. Every stand-out scene, line of dialogue and plot development stands out to me, and tonight’s episode was filled with plenty of them all. While I wouldn’t consider “Happily Ever After” the best episode of the season, it certainly is in the upper echelon of Season 6 episodes.
Some television shows suffer from “Epic Episode Syndrome.” It’s fairly common on the silver screen right now, but there are certainly shows that suffer from it more than others. “Epic Episode Syndrome” is when a TV show follows up an incredible episode that contains all the hallmarks of an instant classic, or “epic” episode if you will, with a rather weak episode, one that seems to be suffering from too many comparisons to the aforementioned “epic” episode. I only bring this up because Lost has suffered from this problem since the day it aired. Last week, people began complaining once again that Lost had relapsed and was suffering from “Epic Episode Syndrome.” They claimed that “The Package” was a pointless episode, a meaningless foray into two characters who are not nearly as important as others in the big picture of things. They claimed it was boring, contained no forward momentum and had a cheap ending.
