To: Fahey From: Crecente Re: Much Respect To The Pirate King This is it. The Tokyo Game Show officially kicks off at 10:30 a.m. Thursday (Tokyo time) with a keynote by Yoichi Wada, chairman of CESA and head of Square Enix. Other pressers and keynotes include Microsoft's John Schappert and Marvelous Entertainment. There will also be a metric ton of one-on-ones, and impressions as the big show's floor opens to the press for the first time this year. Excitement is a go! Oh and as we sat, bird like on chairs in front of a tiny marble table in our room, on the 37th floor of our Shibuya hotel a slow rumble crept up through the floor and the building started to sway. Just a bit. Yeah, earthquake. Just a little nudge from the earthen Atlas wedged between Japan's two mighty tectonic plates. When I asked McWhertor if maybe we should go down, he said if that was necessary we would already be going down, rapidly, not of our own volition. Yes, that didn't make me feel any better.
