This is day one of our E3, 2013 coverage.

Why are you looking at me like that, Chris?

No, it's the fact that you're staring me down as you say day one. Day one podcast. Today was... Day, eh, oh. What was that, Joseph? Day like, come, me long go home. This is a long day. Today was conference day. It's always the longest day. A lot of people, I'm sure you've been following this at home. There's been lots of news breaking today. Today is the big, big news day. So we spent pretty much all day going from conference to conference to conference. And there's a lot of stuff that was announced, a lot of really interesting things, a lot of not-so-interesting things. But we're going to go down and we're going to talk about everything.

Yeah, and they had their Call of Duty thing yesterday.

And then, son of a bitch.

But, Metal Gear Solid 4 was not only a big game for PlayStation 3, but it was exclusive

to PlayStation 3.

Yeah.

Like, it was a press conference darling for them.

So to get that and open for, you know, your Xbox one, that's a big thing.

That's as big as when Microsoft got... Final Fantasy. No, equal rights to Grand Theft Auto. Well, yeah. Well, it's not quite that big. That's also... I would say it's pretty big. Well, no, of course it is. Would you say it's this big? Sorry. Okay. Anyways. I'm sorry, I'm not into dick measuring.

Metal Gear Solid 5, Phantom Pain, was demonstrated as fully open-world game, which, they had talked

about this before as being an open-world game, but I don't think a lot of us really kind
