From deep inside E3 '07 I stole some time with Xbox LIVE's Major Nelson. We found a dark corner in the Library at the C3 at E3 party at the Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica and took the opportunity to wax poetic. Join us now as Major Nelson and I reflect on the good times, the bad times, the intimate times and of course...the gaming times.

I'm not so sure about Scene It...but I think the big button controller has promise...provided it is implemented in future titles and isn't neglected like some other peripherals.

I am loving all these new titles running at 60 frames per second. They look silky smooth...especially on hardware with extra RAM and cache. I've noticed tearing frames on the Xbox 360 Pro dashboard that are absent on an Elite system. It must have some extra system cache we weren't informed about.

Larry also mentioned the campus issue to me when I spoke with him at the Pac-Man World Championship earlier this year. He told me he always wants to do more segments with you gals, but is too busy half the time. His schedule is always at odds unless you get to him two months in advance. That's crazy.
