[Reflection]

If this was facebook, I would have asked "Are you talking to yourself or did someone block me?"
By the way, which game won best racing game (that is, if there is any such category)?

11:10 - Ken and Roberta, and a bunch of people from Seirra talk about Sierra and King's Quest for way too long. We do get footage of the new King's Quest game being done by Activision.

11:30 - Live violin/dance performance from Dragon Age: Inquisition.

INDIE GAME OF THE YEAR: Shovel Knight

11:35 - World premiere of footage from Human Element (Robotoki). Looks like a really pretty, non-cell-shaded version of Borderlands.

11:40 - Footage of Eve: Online for some reason. My exact reaction was, "Is this a not shitty version of Eve? Oh...no, it's Eve."

GAME OF THE YEAR: Dragon Age Inquisition

11:45 - Reggie is back. We get gameplay footage of Wii U. It's completely open world with lots of elevation, Skyrim style. They show Link jump off a mountain and float to the ground, get on Epona and ride through a forest. Random enemies on the map. You can jump off Epona and shoot at enemies in slow motion. Let me just say that again...JUMP...off Epona. J.U.M.P. In a Zelda game. They set a destination on the map and it took a full 10 minutes to get there, so it's a big map. STAR FOX WII U will come out before Zelda in 2015.

11:55 - Imagine Dragons hits the stage and does an acoustic version of Zelda's Lullaby. Koji Kondo is with them for Song of Healing and Overworld Theme. They do acoustic versions of one of their own songs.
