I'm here to talk about E3. That's my mission.

I only know one thing. I want to talk about E3. I need to. It's not a hope or a dream. It's like a hunger. Thirst.

This is the shrine of E3. It's here. I just have to talk it out.

The game announcements are so thick I can taste it. This is it. No Doubt.

E3!
