i think i could do this! cute.
Jun 14, 2010
I think there's something missing from the Finishing instructions, i.e. "Slowly push it through the opening into place" - what does this mean? Also what is the Strathmore photo frame card for as there are no instructions given for its use?

By Jeaniegirl

I replaced my white GE ovens with this stainless one. It works well and looks great. It is much easier to clean because it doesn't have the coils exposed on the bottom. There are more loops on the broiler and it broils more evenly. good choice!

By Santaclarita

After doing extensive research on good quality double ovens, I went with this one based on ratings. Unfortunately both ovens stopped working after 5 months of installation. To add insult to injury, the local repair company GE picked to do my repairs, has a one star rating. Not feeling very confident about the product or the repair company.

Leakey Hills,
Real County,
When buying land
out here, be
sure you have access to a water supply. For
example, in April 2011, Leakey's town council
(Mayor Jesse Pendley, Ken Auld, Hugh
Buchanan, Carl Jensen, Scott Chisum, Duane Wilson Jr.) voted to
stop selling water from the Leakey City Standpipe to
those who hauled it, however they allowed three
customers to be grandfathered. If you are lucky enough to
drill and find water, will it be potable? Check
out water planning and issues for Region J at the
Texas Water Development Board.
groundwater within Leakey Hills is
unmapped and untapped. View Leakey Hills in
relation to large
surface water areas.
Water rights are
very desirable. Desirable enough for mineral
rights fraud? How about for identity theft? Enough motive for murder?
Did you
attempt to buy property with a good water well in Leakey Hills
in 2012?
The 19.23 acres pictured above, but the sale fell through because the
owner was murdered?

Hodgkins' House is located on beautiful Frenchman Bay overlooking the mountains of Acadia. A 25 minute drive could have you on a whale watch boat, golf at Kebo, or on your way up Cadillac Mountain to be the first to see the sun rise. Ten minutes to go cart rides, water park, mini golf, movies and Bird's Acre. For the shopper in every family there is an LL Bean outlet,Reny's Marden's Atlantic Art Glass and lots of little antique shops and home made ice cream places. Relax on the lush lawns with a game of badminton, croquet or make s'mores over your firepit as the sun sets on the bay. Families can have quality time together or have the space to spread out and enjoy alone time. Play games on the screened in sun porch or relax on the day bed with a good read. This home is within 5 minutes of 3 beaches, Lamoine State Park and Lamoine Beach and fresh water Blunt's Pond. Air Conditioned
Paul & I inherited this beautiful home a few of years ago. We completely renovated the kitchen with granite countertops and added many touches to make it a cooks kitchen. About five years ago we purchased my Aunt and Uncle's Pine Cone Cabin, next to ours on Green Lake, and began our seasonal rental business. As yet there is only a few reviews for Hodgkins' House but there lots for Pine Cone Cabin, if you would care to see more reviews. We worked like beavers tearing it down to the outside walls and rebuilding it. I than had the fun of decorating it with things from the LL Bean outlet in Ellsworth. We have been so blessed with having wonderful renters .that we decided to rent Hodgkin' House as a weekly or monthly summer rental.
It's a beautiful place to hold your special event, weddings, reunions, and get togethers, with manicured lawns and plenty of off road parking.
Paul and Lucy's house is extremely well maintained and has all the conveniences you could need on vacation. The view from the back garden is fantastic and we made use of the fire pit some evenings. The house is well located. On Paul's recommendation we visited Schoodic peninsula, less crowded than Bar Harbor and Mount Desert Island but wonderful scenery. We thoroughly enjoyed our first trip to Maine and would recommend this house to anyone.
There is not enough space here to write about the most wonderful vacation we had in Maine this year. I wondered if the house was going to be as nice as the pictures. The home was perfect. To say they had everything they said they did would be an understatement
Our experience at the Hodgkins' House was amazing!
Paul and Lucy are incredibly friendly, helpful and answered any questions we had immediately.
The house is gorgeous, spacious, well maintained and immaculately clean. The house is also stocked with everything we needed to help us enjoy our vacation! The property is also incredibly well maintained and has a spectacular view.
Again, our experience was wonderful and we would highly recommend the Hodgkins' house!
We arrived for our week long stay (4 adults and 3 children) to a spacious yard with a beautiful view, fresh cut flowers in many of the rooms and complimentary Maine Blueberries in the freezer.
The house was clean and it is clear the owners take a good deal of pride in their home and also open their home to their guests. There was plenty of room for our group and we enjoyed fires in the yard in the evening.
Lucy and Paul were easy to work with and prompt with communication.
Most days, we drove into Acadia, so if that is your plan, understand that you will be making a short drive to do so.
My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful experience renting this home in early October. It exceeded our expectations in every way. The view of Acadia from the back porch is postcard worthy and was a great backdrop for our morning coffee. We also had daily visits from a family of turkeys and saw a fox one morning. Our dog enjoyed the huge backyard with plenty of room to roam. The house was fully stocked for any occasion and was impeccably clean. The kitchen is modern and contains every appliance or gadget you will ever need. We also appreciated the satellite TV as we didn't miss one game of the baseball playoffs. The owners were great to work with and made for a very easy rental experience. We recommend this home for anyone looking for great vacation experience near Acadia.
This is truly an exceptional experience. The owners went out of their way - genuinely above & beyond - to make sure we enjoyed our stay. No typical "mix & match" bedding or plates, everything looked like it was our own home away from home. EVERYTHING was made available to us - all the way down to spices for cooking & condiments to put on our burgers! This didn't feel like a hotel or "camp" house. This felt like my own home, planted in a beautiful setting. The next time we go to Acadia, I know where we'll be staying!!!
Hodgkins' House is located on 11 well maintained acres in the town of Lamoine. This home has a new well stocked island kitchen with granite counter tops offers a spacious area for the chef of your family. Renters can enjoy lots of space both inside and out for familys to spend quality time together or enjoy quiet times. It's lawns are large enough to host smaller weddings or family reunions. Avoid the travel hassle by flying into BHB only 7 miles from your home away from home. Pull into your two car attached garage and the fun begins. You will be about 25 minutes from a whale watch trip, Kebo Valley Golf Club, and all wonders of Acadia. Hodgkins' house offers beautiful views of the bay and mountains of Acadia. Be the first person in the USA to see the sun rise from the top of Cadilac Mountain or relax with a mug of coffee and watch the fishing boats work the bay.
Other Activities: Whale, lobster and sailing trips along the shores of Acadia. Hike or horse back the carriage roads. Watch the surf at Thunder Hole after a big blow. Visits a small fishing village for lunch. Beach comb for sea glass and shells. Relax with a good book in the screened in sun porch. Play badmitten or croquet on it's lawns. Sip something cool on the back deck as you watch the sun set on Eastern Bay.
Golf: Kebo Valley Golf Club is one of the oldest in the USA and the gem of Maine golf. In 1896 began play for Presidents, the rich summer residents and lobstermen. The challenging greens and rolling fairrways require you to play a wide variety of golf shots. Enjoy the majestic views of Acadia National Park and beware of the #17 the ''Taft' hole. Visitors are welcome. There are lots of other courses in the area.

Is E3 Dead? ESA Says 'Not Exactly'
Publishers pulling out of show?
The release comes on the heels of yesterday's reports (see below) that the video game industry's biggest week, Electronic Entertainment Expo, would see changes going forward -- some sites speculated that the event would be cancelled altogether. Lowenstein's words this morning seem to suggest otherwise. He maintains that the industry needs a "more intimate program" -- is that spin for downsizing?
According to the Entertainment Software Association E3 will still take place next May and it will still take place in Los Angeles (contrary to earlier reports) and will "focus on press events and small meetings with media, retail, development, and other key sectors."
Lowenstein cites the emergence of the Tokyo Game Show, Leipzig Game Convention and company-specific events as the reasons why "a single industry 'mega-show'" is no longer needed. But does the industry need an E3? Is the ESA correct in striking E3 as we know it from the calendar of events? What does this mean for the future of the game industry? How did E3's downsizing get to this point? The ESA promises more answers in the coming months, we'll have more sooner than that.
At press time, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo and the offices at the Entertainment Software Association have yet to respond to requests for comment.
ORIGINAL STORY: Was E3 2006 the last of its kind? Each May the game industry descends on the Los Angeles Convention Center for the video game trade show, however if reports from Next-Gen and GameSpot are to be believed, that event as it is known may be dead.
After reports surfaced in MCV that major publishers (they cite Electronic Arts) had called for an examination of the event's tremendous costs. If major publishers (or platform holders) pulled out of E3 the result ultimately could be the crippling end to the show (as Next Gen suggests) or the end of the show as we know it (as GameSpot suggests).
One industry insider told MCV: "Costs have been getting out of hand. We're talking double digit millions for some of us. But that's not just floorspace, of course -- it's build, parties, hotels, flights. Security, particularly, has become a massive cost."
With publishers like EA holding more events on their own (Hot Summer Nights), it doesn't make financial sense for these companies to invest in something like E3 where their dollars are ultimately being spent on a show for their competitors (E3 is a competitive environment by default). If EA did pull out of E3, it could have led to an exodus of publishers (and possibly platform makers) bailing out of the event. Entertainment Software Association President Doug Lowenstein is expected to make an official statement about the rumors early this week. As it is Sunday afternoon, emails to the ESA didn't receive a response before press time.
The official E3 page still indicates that "Planning is already underway for E3 2007" and that the event will take place from May 16-18 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. That's not to say that these reports are inaccurate, but rather the official E3 page hasn't been updated to reflect the changes that may or may not be coming to the trade event.
However, the Los Angeles Convention Center events calendar doesn't list E3 on the line-up for next May.

Focus is neededPosted: Aug 01, 2006 12:00AM PST by toodze
E3 was not for the masses when originally implemented. This was an expo for the media to get a feel for new products coming down the pipe. All of a sudden, guys from the local video game stores were going and friends of friends came along. Companies catered to the masses instead of the media. Developers hired local models to staff the booths and draw in the masses to increase exposure. Next came the free stuff. I think that is when E3 really lost the overall focus. Do away with mass appeal and make this something for the media to experience. This will cut costs for the major development companies and give the media more time to get a feel for the products. More in depth reporting will be a bonus of the new format and we the general public many not be able to go, but we will have better previews for up and coming titles.
It makes sense.Posted: Aug 01, 2006 12:00AM PST by M3g4tr0n
Either scale down E3 or cancel it, it'll save them money. It's supposed to be a press event anyway, but it seems like it's become more about the free stuff they give out, and the scantily-clad chicks. They either show rough-as-hell demos or cg cut scenes. I can see why they'd want to pull out.
die hardPosted: Jul 31, 2006 12:00AM PST by Mortiferoz
well, something so massive with the focus of many people aroud the world, is difficult to just die. Yes, there are many reason why the E3 perhaps is not really necessary, and one of the most evident is that many people focus on this E3 but just in the most importan exhibitors, in this case Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, so there's a reason why the other companies perhaps don't wanna spend money on the rent of the booth, the samples for the press and public, and everything else that requires of paying something, because this investment maybe don't justify it.
There's something ESA isn't sayingPosted: Jul 31, 2006 12:00AM PST by crazyporker
Notice how ESA didn't give us anythiing specific, only spoke in vague terms? There's gotta be something they're not telling us. Killing E3? (I know it's scheduled for next year, but possibly getting rid of E3 is what they were talking about). Being from Canada, and also being under 18, I have personally never been to E3. However, from reading and watching coverage of it, E3 looks like a truly amazing experience. I would like to go there someday. I don't care if the industry needs to be more "intimate", gamers love E3, developers love E3, I love E3: why kill it?
Re:re:re:This is Great News!!!Posted: Jul 31, 2006 12:00AM PST by halochief_90
Sure E3 does debut the biggest games, but the mere fact that the general public has heard their game, is better than nothing. Your average Joe may not attend E3, but is more likely to be seen on a game site around that time (believe me, it's been like this for me every year). Your average Joe does not go on a game site on a daily basis, and they don't read game magazines, so E3 could be the only thing they got to hear about these "niche" games.

E3 is totally overrated
Makes me CryPosted: Jul 31, 2006 12:00AM PST by Razlo
I've always loved E3 and to think that TGS may end up dwarfing it again as it did in the past is sorta sad. And on a purely selfish level, I just started working in the video game industry and it sucks that my first year in is when they do this. Couldn't they have waited till at least I'd been to E3 once. God what jerks!
Good.Posted: Jul 31, 2006 12:00AM PST by sqratch
This needed to happen. All we hear from the gaming press and from the gaming companies themselves is about how E3 sucks. Yes it is great to gather together and see who is doing what, but it has gotten much too big, way too out of hand and there are too many people there that do not belong there. We can see this by the amount of people commenting here about how they are upset because they didn't get a chance to go....newflash....you aren't supposed to be there. Hopefully making this event smaller will allow the gaming press to get more time with a game or to actually report on games that they may have missed. Having a smaller event will also allow the publisher to make a more focused and polished presentation. This really doesn't change much for us because we still are going to get the same hype from a party that most of us are not invited to so what's the problem? Enjoy.
Missed outPosted: Jul 31, 2006 12:00AM PST by Kilree
Oh man... I waited my entire life to go and now I won't even get to go to the event I grew up hearing about... I know it's not all that it's hyped out to be but I've been waiting for a chance to go since childhood and I missed out on it this year... I wonder what it's going to be like in the coming year.
Do people in the industry support this?Posted: Jul 31, 2006 12:00AM PST by ReCkLeSs_X
During E3, in most of the 1up podcasts, there was a few complaints of there being too many people around to do your own job well. Is this a step in the right direction for better coverage or is this just a pain?
in this day and age...Posted: Jul 31, 2006 12:00AM PST by chaos and mayhem
It makes more sense to just have smaller conventions that take place through out the year. Why? Because becides consoles and console related announcements, very little news actually comes from the E3 floor (maybe just the announcement that a game is going to be made, however most attendees will not hear about it till they get online), just some demos for games that most people who attend the event will not be able to play. In a world with the XBOX Live marketplace and its soon to be released competitors it makes more finacial sense to have the smaller conventions and events and then post the demos online.

Downsize pleasePosted: Jul 31, 2006 12:00AM PST by ReSeTbUtToN
Maybe if the big publishers leave this will give better oppurtunites for the little guys to show off there great games that are always under the radar because of big budget games.
Whose it really for?Posted: Jul 31, 2006 12:00AM PST by Drifter288
Thinking about the cost and price who is really getting into these shows. Only about 10% of the people who attend are really in the industry, but what about the other 90? So cutting back could help but then again...
RE: Not stupid.Posted: Jul 31, 2006 12:00AM PST by Xoulrath
Not to mention the costs devs could save, and use them for actual games. I think we need shows, not for the hardcore gamers, but for the more casual mainstream gamers, to keep the industry growing. Some other show, or many smaller developer shows, will take E3's place.
not to mention...Posted: Jul 31, 2006 12:00AM PST by happycamper4027
the fact that if they did stop e3 then the hotel chains would loose about $50 million within the week of e3.

why why must this happen to the gamers. this is bull poop. ok you guys may not think it is the best way to kill time. but it is cool to see all of the ganes first. look halo 3 i saw it on E3 then went to EBgames and they new nothing. and look at it this way if sony and all of them and the game people had to do there own thing all over the U.S. then we the people would know nothing. cuz how are we going to know were to get this kind of info. long live E3 i hope.
Do people even read past the title of the article?Posted: Jul 31, 2006 12:00AM PST by Skyrider
Seriously...They're questioning the costs, as they should. They've been getting out of hand with it lately. It's less a trade show and more a publicity stunt and there's a lot to E3 that simply isn't necessary. The booth babes, and the amusement park styled booths primarily. If it's a trade show, make it a trade show. I hope they DO tone it down or find an easier way to handle it again. The commercial mentality surrounding it, while it has been drawing attention, it has been doing very little more than hurting the reputation of games as an artform. Maybe if we make the tradeshow less glitzy, people will stop going gaga over bland but *REALISTIC LOOKING* fps's and start trying to work up new elements and style of gameplay. ...yeah right
I'm kinda of gladPosted: Jul 31, 2006 12:00AM PST by longshot56
I am kinda glad that E3 is dead. It became nothing more than glitz and glamour and less substance. The major problem I hold against it is that they never let the true gaming fans attend. They always said you had to have press credentials to attend. Yet, they have all these celebrities that have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the game industry attend. If it was really a place for business than why is Tony Hawk's kid going walking around E3 grabbing a bunch of schwag and mingling with the booth girls? Please. Maybe now the events held by only one publisher will actually get down to business and show people with press credentials their actual games and leave people's brats at home.
CostsPosted: Jul 31, 2006 12:00AM PST by kingsora
If they don't want it too cost so much they shouldn't spend so much. E3 is a chance to show off what a comapany is doing, so with all the companies there its no surprise its competitive. But if your games can't speak for themselves then no matter how much they spend on it. Companies have no one to blame but themselves on how much they spend. Here's some cost saving ideas. 1. Buy cheap booze for the parties, in some cases it gets you drunk faster. 2. Cheap give aways are just as good as expensive ones. They all break 2 days later anyways. 3. Do not hire 10 hot chicks to parade around half naked in fron of your software. 8 will do just as good. Hoped that helped.
Makes sense to mePosted: Jul 31, 2006 12:00AM PST by Kurgan10
If you think about the cost vs. the potential return, one would figure that MAYBE one of five games sees any substantial return for the promotional costs spent on it.E3 had grown into an overgrown,boated, free-for-all.The only thing that mattered to the GENERAL press was whose booth was bigger,better and flashier and not much attention at all was given to the actual content. I could easily see it being moved (fgar away, hopefully)from the freak show that is L.A. and to a place that's more condusive to the industry itself.It would be smaller, alot less flashy and probably a little more attention payed to the technical side of things and the actual media that was being promoted. If that happens, it will be a plus for everyone as smaller studios will be able to get word out about their products alot easier and not go broke in the process of trying to compete with the giants like Take Two and EA, etc.. In a day when new games from large studios equal endless sequels and the occasional original surprize sleeper from smaller studios is the rarity, the end of E3 as it has been known seems like a damn good idea to me.

This means more shows like the Konmai show and Capcome show throught the year...giving year round information....I like this. It also means that online media outlets can do thier job without running into crazed fans. I think Nintendo would still have thier own E3 though. I think the big three will still do press confrences. I just love this whole thing!!!!

In general, I think it would be sad to see something like that happen. You would think that they could "play nice" and talk to the other companies to organize a meeting with them to discuss the prices. All in all if E3 ends, no offense but oh well. There are some of us that don't live close enough to go or have the money to go.
re:This is Great News!!!Posted: Jul 31, 2006 12:00AM PST by halochief_90
While I can agree with you on those points, think about all the niche game's that the general public will never hear about (ie: people who don't follow gaming on regular basis and only look when it has big headlines). Few mainstream gamers will know what to get, and will evidently have to stick with the next Madden or GTA, rather than giving stellar, but less known, games any steam to survive. I hope everyone wants more sequels, because if E3 dies, that may be all we get.
it's not dead, they're just downsizing...jeezPosted: Jul 30, 2006 12:00AM PST by Darkchild82

the only thing that sucks about it is that all those "geniuses" and billionaires are gonna need to get thier ego's fed some how. so look for hideo kojima to put his name 86 times at the end of his games instead of his standard 20+ and a bunch of shitty reality shows like who wants to wipe Shigeru Miyamoto's ass.
a circusPosted: Jul 30, 2006 12:00AM PST by TreyTable
E3 has become a circus, and really, I don't care. all companies hnave press events anyway. Just watch this week 1up Show. I learned more from that one show than I did from this past E3. All I got from E3 is that Sony can make really big HDTVs. Well, that and the $600. But if there was not E3, I think Sony would have announced it anyway. Gee, want to learn about new games? Go to a comic book show, it seems.

Here Goes EA Thinking There a Big ShotPosted: Jul 30, 2006 12:00AM PST by fflegendaryhero
Who the hell does EA think it is to think it is bigger then the industry!!!??? To be honest, NO ONE should care about EA anymore because most of the games that come out of them are mediocre at best. Even Madden has declined in quality over the past couple of years. Also, to avoid a fanboy bashing by this comment, the only name mentioned I could find was EA backing out. Sorry for the seeming rant. This is a big mistake for publishers to back out of the convention. It's true in a way that competitors get to see what you are up to and can mimic what you make, but that is going to happen anyway. Example, GTA III. Come on publishers. The only REAL way for the industry to grow is to learn from each other and get the media blitz. Perhaps what may be a fault is that E3 has grown too big. Perhaps cutting back on the show instead of pulling out altogether may be better. Honestly, we are there for the games. Not the blazing lights, not the blazing sound, and not the...well maybe the booth babes. Plus, what's a religion without its Jerusalem/Meccah/Promised Land 8P
my guess is it's all because of EAPosted: Jul 30, 2006 12:00AM PST by fatalhashbrown
my guess is this all started because EA felt they weren't getting there money's worth out of E3. They are just abusing the fact that they are the world largest game publisher to try and change the show. My idea? Stretch the show out and make it longer. Find a bigger venue in some other major American city on the west coast that would charge less for floor space and move it there. Like the Anaheim convention center for instance...it's not to far from L.A. and it's like twice the size of the LACC.
This is Great News!!!Posted: Jul 30, 2006 12:00AM PST by Aeolus88
This is great news for everyone, and nobody should view this as bad. Sure, I'll miss the event, it was amazing to go to every year, but now this means that information will be available when the information is available, and we will no longer be waiting for months to see information on the next big thing! Companies have been known to withhold information on new releases and release dates for games and hardware for long periods of time, just to release it at E3 and come out on top of the "Shock and Awe" that is the trade show. I hope this is true, will make it alot better to be in games journalism and to be a gamer.

Well I guess now we know why there was no E3 dvd collections this yearPosted: Jul 30, 2006 12:00AM PST by Bear Walken
You know after watching video of the running of the Nintendo fanboys to the Wii booth this year, it is clear that things may have gotten out of hand. One thing that is for sure is that the games are going to be released regardless, so no one should worry about that. What may change is the stream of data that comes out of the E3 from now on. If what gamespot said is true and the event will be scaled down considerably, maybe that means live coverage where people can log onto 1UP or wherever else may see less instant videos and screenshots. That is the downside, but what maybe the good thing will be, is that now every Joe fansite won't get in now, making things more productive, as well as safer.
I thought they weren't releasing multi SKUsPosted: Jul 30, 2006 12:00AM PST by BreakfastPills

Can't they just scale it back again?Posted: Jul 30, 2006 12:00AM PST by Skyrider
They've been getting more and more extravagant with their shows year after year...why not just simply scale it back. Don't hire booth babes, don't go for amusement park decorations, stick to the facts and the games and it won't cost as much.

I don't think E3 can be killed, in a sense. "You can kill a man, but not the dream." So, a bunch of publishers stay out of E3. They start up another competing convention with lower costs. Then it turns into exactly what E3 is, and not really any cheaper.
They are crazy if they doPosted: Jul 30, 2006 12:00AM PST by Deathray412
E3 is the pinnacle of the industry, everyone is hooked on this event. This is like cancelling the Super Bowl, the last big thing before the next season. Without E3, the summer drought will be even worse, no big announcements or games. This is what ends the school year for me, and what a great end it is. I watch every minute of the live coverage! They could cut budget costs easily, do we really need the super sound systems, the most expense HDTV's, and all the flashy lights, fog systems, etc, as long as you have the GAMES does it really matter, oh, and the SYSTEMS! Can't EA get anything right? They make crappy games, especially the cookie cutter Madden games, and everyone already hates them as it is, and now they may be the main cause of the death of the BEST INDUSTRY EVENT, there is simply nothing like a great E3. This is what everyone talks about for the next 3 months or so. Everything released still feels like big news! Say it ain't so! What is there to look forward to without it?
Why this could ultamatly hurt publishers.Posted: Jul 30, 2006 12:00AM PST by Deathawk
This plan to pull out of E3 could backfire and hurt publishers more than it helps, I mean think about it remember Capcom's Gamers Day? What about Midway's ok now how about Konami's? The fact that for the most part these are fairly forgetable events should say something about them. So is the industry ready to pull out of E3? I'm not so sure they are....
Even if they did this...Posted: Jul 30, 2006 12:00AM PST by Misato_Anami
There are a few places that wouldn't return anyways. I was standing there playing Tabula Rasa on Day 3 when NCSoft announced that they probably wouldn't return. It was due to the constant policing of their +1 decibel level over the allowed level was / SEGA was apparently hounding them also. They were thinking a huge party across the street (ooh, hotel figueroa maybe?) Maybe it'll break down to something smaller into genre groups who knows. But having it won't save everyone.
Sundance ..Posted: Jul 30, 2006 12:00AM PST by themanlydeadguy
If big pulishers want to show there stuff off, in there own staged events, then could this be the start of a Sundance like event? As the developers without publishers will need an outlet to show off there games in hopes of finding a publisher. While it will suck to not have a single event showcasing the upcoming games, it would be much more intresting to see an event with smaller developers showing their more creative innovative ideas. Just putting that idea out there.
Something Good to come out of this:Posted: Jul 30, 2006 12:00AM PST by QB's_Finest
Nintendo won't hold back all year except for 4 days to give out information! Unless they start holding SpaceWorld again, which I don't mind. Or maybe Nintendo will finally release information on a timely schedule? How are big games and surprises like Halo and MGS and Zelda gonna be announced? just press releases? That sucks. No one cares about the small independant events, gamers gather together during E3!
no one to blame but themselves...Posted: Jul 30, 2006 12:00AM PST by nateandamy
As far as I'm concerned, what is happening was inevitable. I could never understand why game companies go to such expense, oversized booths, getting bands of dubious quality to play at after show parties, etc. This show is supposed to be about GAMES, not getting drunk on the game publisher's dime. They should move everything back to the CES, and SHOCKER ALERT(!), let some FANS in. Charge an admission for non-press show-goers. I'd pay between $75 to $100 for admission to check out the newest games b4 anyone else, meet gaming producers, etc. After all, I pay $50 sometimes to get into ComiCons. An admission fee/age limit would keep out little Johnny Poser-Gamer who only cares about the latest "gangsta/Madden" game.
Who's Really Getting Hurt?Posted: Jul 30, 2006 12:00AM PST by cnerd
Ea is thinking in a pretty naive way. E3 may in fact be a better place without them. Over the past years, EA as been (according to people I've talked to) the most boring part od E3. EA lacks new franchises (Army of Two is not enough). They are actually hampering the game industry by buying all this smal studios and making them work on the next Madden which, by the way, will most likely be crappier than before. Also, let's not forget, everything is not about EA. Until Nintendo, Microsoft, or Sony don't say anything, there is no need to turn the emergency syren on. EA is just a whiner who is trying to get the Convention Center to charge him less. Because, was the last EA very benefitial for EA? NO. In fact hardly anyone remembered EA was there because Valve took most of the show. We go back to the same thing how excited are people about Madden. Personally, I'm not. Over and over we are getting the same thing. Over but his year you can use linemen, not that the runner is gonna be any smart, but you can still like it. EA, most of the time, only screws the whole gaming world with its licenses and complaints. Makes me wonder whether gamers are better off without EA.
Big loss for small publishersPosted: Jul 30, 2006 12:00AM PST by larsoncc
From a personal (Stage Select) perspective, it's going to be a real fight to generate contacts, leads, and summer stories without E3. As I've witnessed with my site statistics, E3 makes an impact on the amount of visits people make and the number of stories I can report on. Unless the small press is still welcome into SOME sort of event, this could really mean the loss of independent voices reporting on the industry. We'll see, and here's hoping for the best.
They're right!Posted: Jul 30, 2006 12:00AM PST by islandkiwi
Putting your product into a huge pool of competition where it's going to be picked apart, and you pay for the privilege? And not just a little, but a lot? Better that the companies release info when they're ready.

Just two more years and I could of gone to E3 hell, I understand that the cost for the companeys must be extraordinarily high but still this fucking sucks.I now know how it must of been for the people in the U.S. when they raised the drinking age. One day it is only two more years the next its great another 5 more years, but I have to say that this is worse by far. I heard from Kotaku that they may change E3 so that it is press only so I guess if I manage to make it into the game biz I can go to E3 but then again who realy knows

This could change gaming journalism forever...Posted: Jul 30, 2006 12:00AM PST by thebomb1345
If E3 is dissolved and more and more companies start to produce their own spectaculars, game journalism will face an incredible change. No more flooding of May news reports. Events, and therefore big news stories, will be stretched throughout the year, giving us a steadier stream of breaking news stories. It will definitely be interesting to see how the possible change to gaming's biggest even has on the industry as a whole.

OPINION: Here's to taking Teacher Appreciation Week seriously
Teacher Appreciation Week has just concluded, and I will admit that the ads and short features broadcast during the week had their intended effect on me. The week began with the news that corporate profits for the previous quarter had set an all time record. Naturally, in the context of today's economic and political environment, the question followed as to ...Read More »

A/N: This is for the lovely Nele/fanficforensics, based on a conversation we had a while back wherein I promised to write this fic but spent an embarrassing amount of time lollygagging instead of writing. Sorry about that.
Contains Mai/Zuko, discussion of past Jee/Zuko, and a Surprise Pairing. This doesn't really fit into any of my established continuities, but I guess you could say that it's an AU of Love, Family, and Treachery (yes, I am going to finish it) in the same way that The Boiler Room is an AU of Three Years at Sea.
"More wine?"
The younger woman tapped the end of her brush against her chin while her companion filled their cups. The paper in front of her was littered with half-formed ideas and spots of ink.
"So, they almost got caught in the main banquet hall. Do you think they'll risk it again?"
"Hmm." She took a sip of wine and blotted her lips. "No, the banquet hall's not that interesting. Not for the book, anyway."
"The throne room?"
"Now we're talking."
Captain Jee slapped the worn serial down on Zuko's desk. The Firelord flinched as if the cheap, yellowed pages had smacked him in the face instead.
"The guardswomen have been passing this one around. I only just found it." The Captain of the Guard's face held its usual frown, but there was a light of furious desperation in his eyes.
"It's no use." Zuko rubbed his forehead. "There's no way we can find all the copies before everyone... reads them."
"Maybe we don't need to panic." Jee braced his hands on the desk, but then seemed to remember what that desk had been used for in issue seven ("Still Longing for the Ocean") and stepped back a bit. "It's about a fictional relationship between a fictional Firelord and his fictional captain. As far as we know, that's all anyone thinks it is."
"Bullshit. Have you even read any of these?" Zuko flipped the book open with a pencil so he wouldn't have to touch the pages. "They've got our difference in age, your hair, my eyes, years at sea, everything. It's not a coincidence. Listen to this. The fire still burned, the conflagration that warmed their lonely souls those nights on the stormy deep, when they were just a princeling seeking a harbor and a lieutenant more gray than green, two flames sensing the desire of the other-"
"Stop! Stop. Sir." Jee squeezed his eyes shut, apparently trying to purge the tawdry prose from his memory. "Of course I've read them. Someone knows more than they should. How they ever found out all this..."
Zuko closed the pamphlet and covered it with a sheet of paper so he didn't have to look at the illustration on the cover. "Doesn't matter."
"If we ignore it, they'll lose interest."
"At least until the next issue comes out."
"Even so. It'll have to end eventually."
"Breaking the desk was a stroke of genius, by the way."
"Thank you." A knowing smirk. Judging by the gossip among women of the palace city, that development had been very popular indeed.
"We need to follow up with something even better."
"Like what?"
"I don't know. It's been a while since we've written cuddling though. Everyone likes a good cuddle. Let's use it as a breather before the 'even better' thing."
"Sounds good."
Palace servants were, of course, trained to be seen and not heard. Part of the palace itself, really. For the most part they were superb at it.
Every time he heard a stifled giggle from somewhere in the wings, Zuko whirled around, bug-eyed, looking for the culprit-but she always managed to compose herself before she was caught. For some reason, it became necessary to discuss matters of palace security with Jee more frequently than usual ever since that thrice-damned novel went to sale. Or maybe he was just noticing it more that people started giggling every time they were in the same room.
He strode down the hall, blocking out the sound and repeating his mantra of it will pass, it will pass, it will pass...
Jee was headed down the hallway from the opposite direction, a sheaf of paper in one hand and murder in his eyes.
"Captain Jee. Any news yet on the-"
"We have to do something. This can't continue." He brandished the slightly-crumpled handful of pamphlets.
Zuko raised his eyebrow. "Whatever happened to 'if we ignore it, they'll lose interest'?"
"The newest issue came out today," Jee explained through clenched teeth. "I banned it from the guardhouse to minimize distractions. But no matter how many I confiscate-" he shook the pamphlets again "-they keep smuggling them in somehow."
"It didn't bother you this much last time."
"Read it." He flung rather than handed one of the copies to Zuko. It had a woman's comb in place of a bookmark.
The young Firelord scanned the appropriate page, squinting and steeling himself against the overly-ornate turn of phrase as usual.
And then...
Zuko looked up, his mouth opening and closing wordlessly for a few seconds before he managed to speak. "How... how would they even know that?"
"It's either a very good guess, or this drivel is being written by... an acquaintance." The disapproval in Jee's voice was nearly tangible. He took the copy from Zuko and put it back with the others.
Zuko felt a laugh bubble up in his stomach, but it died before it could get out. "So," he said. He crossed his arms and put on what he hoped was a properly sober expression. "Which of your former lovers had a thing for writing smutty romance stories?"
Jee scowled. "Just wait. It won't be as funny when it's at your expense."
"I wonder how long it will take for them to catch on."
"Catch on? Them?" A secretive chuckle. "Never." She paused, looking thoughtful. "Maybe we should take pity on them. Give them a clue."
"We already did. A pretty 'big' one, heh heh..."
"That has to be the worst pun I've ever heard... it absolutely must go in the book."
The next days were agonizing as more copies made their way into the palace somehow and women's whispers fluttered in every corner, breathlessly discussing the newest plot development and every lurid detail of the completely and undeniably fictional love affair.
As usual, though, it died down, and the maids and guardswomen settled in to wait for the next intallment to be released.
Jee and Zuko, meanwhile, took the time to develop a plan.
Jee rubbed his chin, frowning slightly.
"Do you regret the parts that... aren't fiction?"
"No," Zuko said right away. "It's just that turning it all into a trashy serial was... unnecessary."
The guardsman began to pace slowly in front of the Firelord's desk, hands clasped behind his back. "Unchecked slander could undermine your authority and should be squashed. But this isn't unchecked slander. So far I think you've done a very good job of not overreacting."
"Just barely," Zuko muttered. He wished he could go out, hunt down every single copy, and burn them into oblivion. But Jee was right.
"Yes, well, I also knew you when you thought self-control was a type of boiler valve."
Zuko glared. "You were trying to make a point."
"Right. It's not unchecked slander. In fact, looking over some of these again, I think the author might be a supporter. They're just going about spreading their opinions in a... slightly unorthodox manner." He flipped through the stack of serials on the desk. "Issue one, he or she supports United Republic independence. Issue two, incredibly obvious disapproval of the previous regime. Issue three, favorable mention of the Firelord's friendship with the Avatar. Issue four refutes the claims that the Firelord is a pretender to the throne... it just keeps going on and on."
"You actually read them twice?"
"Yes, sir. I was looking for clues about the author, but found this instead." Jee tapped an open page. "It's subtle, and buried in all the romance stuff. That way it isn't dismissed as a political tract, not to mention read by a wider audience. One that you've had trouble with, I might add-women of all ages."
"You read them twice."
Zuko leaned forward and rested his chin on his hand. "We still have to find a way to get rid of them."
"Even now that you know all this?"
"Yeah." That familiar flutter of dread, like something looming around the corner, started up in Zuko's chest. "At least... we have to find a way to keep them out of the palace. I don't care what everyone else reads, as long as..." he trailed off.
Jee stood silently for a moment, not understanding. Then his face took on an expression of dawning comprehension-that, and displeasure. He took a step closer to the desk. "Sir," he said, his voice low and controlled. "I assume you informed your wife of everything that you experienced before you were reunited with her."
"You didn't?"
"I did! Sort of." His face was burning. He looked at the inkstone on his desk and not at Jee's annoyed face. "I think she might know. I told her that she wasn't the first... but that she was the first woman... or at least that's what I think I tried to say..."
Jee leaned in very close. He looked exasperated, but there was something like amusement in the corner of his mouth. Just a little. Maybe. He spoke very slowly, as if Zuko were some kind of idiot. "Firelord Zuko. When you intend to marry someone, it's best to be completely open with them about everyone you have slept with in the past. Especially if he's currently working for you."
Zuko winced.
"Lady Mai is an intelligent woman," Jee continued. "She's probably figured it out already. But if she hasn't, it's probably best that she not learn the truth from a cheap serial."
A pause.
"Must I explain it again? Go tell her. Now."
"We're going to have to finish this thing sometime."
"I suppose. I don't know about you, but I have plenty of ideas for more. Maybe if we came up with a definite endpoint, and then took as much time as we wanted getting there-until we run out of ideas, or until the public gets tired of it."
"Or better yet, we could stop publishing for a while and start up again once everyone's forgotten about it."
"Good idea. Let's keep that in mind."
Zuko's footsteps felt like lead as he trudged through hallways and galleries on the way to Mai's parlor. He knew she wouldn't be upset-she said it herself, she could never stay upset with him, even when he did something monumentally stupid.
Besides, he'd already told her. Mostly. They'd been as open with each other as two awkward, largely inexperienced teenagers could be-she'd even told him that she kissed Ty Lee a few times, out of curiosity. As far as he knew, she hadn't told that to anyone else. And now, a few years later, none of it was even an issue.
He sighed and pushed the door open.
Mai was entertaining someone-Guardswoman Ming, off-duty. She stood when Zuko entered. There was a great mass of paper on the table between them.
"Hello, sir."
"Hi, Ming."
"You wouldn't happen to have seen my husband recently, would you?"
"Actually, I just got done talking to him," Zuko said. "He's probably near my office, if you're looking for him."
She gave a short bow and left the room. Zuko took a deep breath and stepped closer to the table. Mai treated him to a slight, secretive smile.
"Mai, I have to tell you someth-" he stopped. All words escaped his brain as he looked down at the paper on the table. Much of it was illegible, or smeared, or consisting of unintelligible diagrams. Two sets of handwriting-Mai and Ming, working together on something.
His face grew warm again as he discerned certain words from the mess. Heaving. Turgid. Throbbing.
"Hmm?" Mai's smile grew wider. She laced her hands beneath her chin and looked up at Zuko, feigning innocence.
His throat had dried up. He cleared it several times.
"Um. Never mind, I guess."
