  The best copy I've ever wrote

  The Lich King Arthas has set in motion events that could lead to the extinction of all life on Azeroth, and we're all like, "Nah brah, nah."

  All These Things I've Done

  The last month has been a harrowing time for everyone around the office. Between the beta site (which launches very soon in final format), E3, and Comic-Con, we've had a lot going on. And this won't be changing anytime soon, with Leipzig, the Penny Arcade Expo, the Tokyo Game Show, and all sorts of other events like the EA Studio Showcase and Nvision on the horizon.

  Here's a list of things that have happened already or will be happening in the near future that I've touched, in an effort to catch up a bit:

  * Soulcalibur IV and Madden NFL 09 launch centers are up and they're looking great. Lot of good ones coming up too.
  * QuakeCon totally happened
  * Our Editors' Choice Awards for E3 just went up
  * I was on The HotSpot last week
  * I'm working on a new game for review, dood
  * I'm hosting a live gameplay marathon next Friday for the beta of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King. More details on OTS today.

  Oh, and if you're into that sort of thing, check out my panel write-ups from Comic-Con:

  * 20th Century Fox: The Day the Earth Stood Still, Max Payne, and Wolverine
  * Capcom: The Making of Street Fighter IV
  * Episodic Games: Rewriting the Adventure Genre
  * Stargate Worlds
  * Capcom: How to Get A Job in the Video Game Industry
  * Xbox Creator's Showcase: Gears of War 2 and Fable 2
  * Penny Arcade

  Welcome Back, E3

  Good to see you again! I know you've had a rough year, but it's good to be back in familiar waters, isn't it?

  Enough of that. Conversing with personified non-entities isn't something anyone should do very often. Ok, you shouldn't do it ever. That said, it's that time of the year again for games, and while we've all actually been working on it for the last few months, I'm proud to unveil GameSpot's home for E3 2008.

  Right now, it's full of some of the biggest stories that have cropped up in the last several gamers' day events, but I encourage you to keep your eyes on it over the next couple weeks to watch it change and evolve as more preshow coverage crops up and it gets closer to go time. As always, we'll be providing you with the very best in live coverage of the big three press conferences, and we also have a great many special guests, awesome games, and cool surprises for you in our live show, which will span a full three days.

  As someone who knows the terrible secret of space, it's tough not to just blurt out all the details. Of course, that hasn't stopped the occasional behind the scenes sneak peak. As I've heard Ryan MacDonald say around the office over and over again, this year will be our best E3 yet, and I believe him.

  So keep an eye on our E3 site, hang out and chat about what you're looking forward to in the forum, and get ready for what we do best!

  P.S.: If you want to check out last year's coverage, it's easy to find right here! And the year before is here!
