The 2008 Electronic Entertainment Expo officially kicks off tomorrow morning and Das Gamer is in the haus to serve up the bloggy bits that will hopefully escape the notice of the hundreds of members of the press that have converged on L.A. If Nintendo reveals that the Wii has actually been a protracted practical joke put into production only to see how many people they could get to flail wildly in front of a console or Cliff Bleszinski comes up with another term for “chainsodomy” you’ll read it here first. Stay tuned for photos, videos and impressions from the Microsoft media briefing as well as the EA presser, both being held later today. I even promise to take a new shot of the convention center. (Readers that only care for Bill Gates-flavored news of gaming world domination need to head over to our brother site, Planet Xbox 360 to keep up with the Xbox exclusives.) I’m sure it will involve giant movie screens, oppressive sound systems and at least a few athletes in town for the ESPY awards. Sadly, there shall be no booth babes. The games industry clearly cares nothing for the livelihoods of struggling actresses, models specializing in arching their backs delicately in front of tuned import cars and strippers in this struggling economy.
