0:09.1	My name is Kirk Hamilton. I am editor at large at kataku.com and I am joined as I will be all week from Los Angeles by Jason Schreier or news editor.
0:18.8	Hi Jason. Good morning.
0:20.0	Hello, Kirk. It has been an
0:21.7	overwhelming past couple of press conferences, and I'm feeling a little bit bummed out about that.
0:28.2	But hey, it's E3. I'm going to go play some games. I'm excited. Yeah, there's, I mean,
