Aperture Science is pleased to inform you that we have partnered with Valve to announce the gala CANCELLATION of the June 14 Portal 2 event at the Regal Theater. The event will be replaced by a surprise. And even though the cancellation of the event certainly counts as a surprise, we are pleased to further announce that the cancellation of the event is not THE surprise. However, per International treaties regarding the definition of the word "surprise", of which both Aperture Science and Valve are signatories, the time, date and content of the actual surprise will only become available as you experience the surprise.
If you'd like to ask fruitless questions about the E3 Portal 2 surprise or, more fruitfully, schedule an appointment to attend a Portal 2 screening at the Valve booth during E3, please contact Valve's Special Envoy to Surprises, Doug Lombardi.
Thank you for <>
PS: The surprising record scratch is also not the surprise.”

Botmann and Peench didn't make it into the show due to technical difficulties, but thank you so much for making the attempt! Everyone's participation means a great deal to us!
Oddly enough it wouldn't let me log in. Every time I tried it would tell me to create an account or login. Something funky there. Tried it on a different computer later on that evening and was able to log in fine! haha. Crazy interwebs.
Hey, does anyone else think it strange that in the Karate Kid movie, the kid is being taught Kung Fu?

Thanks to the PGLers that listen in and tell the Lords of Lobbycast that they don't mind me too much. Thanks to Jon Liu for keeping me company when I was put on hold. Thanks to Peench for offering to carry all my swag around at E3...
Sam, is that D&D podcast as in Dungeons & Dragons? I listen to one also called "roll for initiative" which mainly focuses on the older editions of AD&D. Can you post a link to the one you listen to please?
"There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible to live without breaking laws. "

Heck yes!
Here is a link to the ones with Penny Arcade, and then I couldn't find where they have all of the regular D&D podcasts, but here is the most recent one. You can also find them through iTunes or the Zune Marketplace.
I would too, but I just like being around attractive ladies. I'm typical guy like that, LOL.
As for the Lords, we need one person of reasonable logic if only occasionally, LOL. Next time, tell Jon Liu you love Vizio and the Pioneer Elites are overrated and overpriced, LOL.
It is such a blast to be a part of the Lobbycast! Cat, it a pleasure chatting with you! It's funny to go back and listen to the podcast and remember what Cat and/or I was saying at that point, and on a couple occasions hearing the guys chuckling after reading what we were saying. Too bad not all of it could be repeated on the recording for everyone to enjoy...
Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's just too hard to read.
