It's nearly time. Team Kotaku has assembled from the four...OK maybe two corners of the earth, converging on Santa Monica to cover the year's gaming announcements in a flurry of press conferences, meetings and whathaveyous. In a couple of hours Microsoft will officially kick off this year's E3 with the first press conference of the show. This year the event will be on the grounds of the Santa Monica High School which is literally directly behind our hotel. In fact I shot that picture up there of a group of Msoft drones from our hotel window. We will be at the event en mass to liveblog are little hearts out. Make sure to check back for much excitement or at least some witty banter... or maybe just banter.
