It is a Fun Time of Year

It is such a fun time of the year, if you are a part of the right subcultures at least. Sure it is the beginning of Summer, but for some of us that does not just translate to nice weather but Summer video game releases, Summer sales, and E3. I would not say it is on my bucket list, but I would truly enjoy a chance to go to E3 (CES would be above it on a bucket-list though, if either were to be). The chance to be among the first people in the public to see new games announced, new technology revealed, and more would just be a lot of fun. Just being in front of a computer though is still pretty cool though, because from here you can look up and watch all the awesome trailers that come with the expo, and there were some good ones this year.
Of those I have seen, I think I would have to say the one for Tom Clancy's The Division was my favorite, purely because of the artistry used to tell a story in it. If you have seen it, you know what I mean, and if you have not seen it, I will not spoil it for you. The ending may not fit great with the rest of it, but I'll take what I can get.
The Dead Island 2 trailer was also awesome though, just because it gave an interesting and amusing take on zombie apocalypses. You do not often see what happens as someone becomes a zombie, and to have a humorous take on it was pretty cool too.
I also want to mention how cool it was to see a GTA V trailer for new-gen and PC, and not just because it is coming to these platforms. What was really awesome to me was just being able to see such a difference between what the different hardware platforms can achieve (new gen and PC versus previous gen). The difference is staggering, so maybe now people can see why PC gamers brag about graphics like we do and why we all have a certain distaste for console ports. Better a port than nothing, but being held back by old hardware isn't fun.
