I think these have gotten to the point where I have almost no interest watching live, nor do I anticipate anything in particular. I think I’m more excited about this thread than I am the event or anything in it.

there will be a Scale of Shareholder Value. after the conclusion of each trailer, the producer will place a ceremonial copy of their title to be weighed against the sprite of John Romero’s head from Doom 2. those found lacking will have their hearts consumed by a very special guest
“Every game we are showing here today… is made. By People. Nothing can replace the creative product of our game developers, who are working on product that they love for you - the gamers.

Nintendo fans will spend then next month perform auguries and haruspices to determine the date of the next “general direct.” A week after Star Fox comes out, they will announce a Partner Showcase or Indie World presentation with only 48 hours of notice. A couple of the games will look like the sickest stuff you’ve ever seen, but you wouldn’t know from talking with a Nintendo fan because they’ll be disappointed that the rumored Gyromite reboot from Ubisoft wasn’t announced there.
Two weeks later, Nintendo will announce a “Metroid Direct” with less than a hour of notice. Yoshio Sakamoto will appear, and state that the last thing he wants before retiring is to have his successors at EPD7 release “Super Metroid Pixel Remaster.” Fans will not shut up about the 2 second clip that appears to show Samus shortcharging.
just going to note that the Unearthed Treasure Room News Thread 10: Beautiful Posts - #1603 by ellaguro stream put together by Melos Han-Tani and I will be coming back this year, probably in a couple of weeks on June 3rd so bookmark your calendars, folks.
Geoff is gonna tear up on stage and talk about how four weeks ago he was invited to be the first to have hands on with a dormant franchise that’s gearing up for a revival, and how he’s honored to introduce it for the first time on stage, and it’s just a Lester the Unlikely remake.
