Microsoft E3 2015 conference: exclusive script leak

Published on by Chris Scullion9 Comments

Xbox E3 2015 scriptOn Monday I busted open Sony’s E3 conference by leaking the entire script a week before it was due to be presented.

Sony isn’t the only company with lax security measures, though. I’ve also managed to obtain the full scripts for Microsoft’s E3 conference and Nintendo’s E3 Digital Event.

Today I’ll be chucking a middle finger in the face of Bill Gates (or whoever it is now) by revealing Microsoft’s E3 script in its entirety.

On Friday I’ll round things off with the entire shooting script for Nintendo’s E3 Digital Event.

I’m really too good to you. Enjoy. Continue reading “Microsoft E3 2015 conference: exclusive script leak” →

In my years as a games journalist I’ve built up a sizeable repertoire of contacts I can get in touch with to verify rumours, ask questions, what have you.

Sometimes these sources, under an agreement of anonymity, will reveal juicy information to me so I can report on it.

Last week one of these sources forwarded me the mother lode: the entire scripts to Sony’s E3 Press Conference, Microsoft’s E3 Press Conference and Nintendo’s E3 Digital Event.

It is my journalistic duty to present these to you so you know exactly how each conference is going to go, starting with Sony’s. You’re welcome.

Until then, here is Sony’s E3 2015 conference, in its entirety, more than a week before it is due to be presented. Some content subject to change. Continue reading “Sony E3 2015 conference: exclusive script leak” →

An ode to the Nokia Lumia 1020

I am a big fan of the Windows Phone operating system. It’s intuitive, it’s time-saving and its little grid-shaped layout looks cool as hell.

Besides, as a self-confessed Xbox achievement hunter, the added benefit of mobile games that add to my Gamerscore is too much to resist.

There’s just one problem (other than the aforementioned achievement obsession): my Windows Phone of choice, a Nokia Lumia 1020, had major battery issues since launch for reasons I could never pin down.

Any time I booted up Internet Explorer – which, incidentally is the best mobile browser I’ve ever used by far – the phone would rapidly heat up and the battery would start plummeting. Even after closing it down and turning on its battery saver functionality I’d still find myself losing 10-20% battery an hour.

After 18 months of putting up with this, I’ve finally decided to take the plunge and go for my first ever Android phone. I will always love the Windows Phone operating system, but it’s time to move on. With this in mind, I’ve decided to pen this song, to the tune of Candle In The Wind by Elton John: Continue reading “An ode to the Nokia Lumia 1020” →
