Hey guys. I am at e3 and from now until Friday morning I will answer any questions you have about the Ubisoft presser, Ubi games, the floor, French toast or your mom. I am super busy so I will get on here as much as I can and tell you what I've seen.
 
NOTICE: I am NOT a Ubisoft spokesperson and I DO NOT SPEAK FOR THEM. I am not a games journalist and I will not have seen everything. I am a gamer, but I also have fourteen jobs so I will not have played everything because I have shit to do. I am only really interested in shooters and combat-oriented RPGs so do not ask me about Mario Kart or other tiny, cute things with bunnies and jumping and stuff.
 
HOWEVER. By EOD Thursday I will have played a bunch of games, including games that aren't really playable yet. I will also have walked the floor, videobombed a lot of vloggers, given Greg Miller at IGN the double finger and taken a lot of photos with sweaty con-goers. Ask your questions and I'll try to answer.  
 
Be aware that if you are a dick I will respond in kind.

Q: what's got you the most excited? Like which game you've seen so far at E3 has you the most hyped?

A : easily Rainbow 6. I was a R6:Vegas junkie and all that emotion at the end of the presser was one hundred percent real.

played 5v5 assault multiplayer and got spanked repeatedly like a tiny, drooling baby.

this does nothing to dampen my enthusiasm.

also stoked for The Division. I am boycotting Destiny because it is like Halo and Halo 4 had a baby and it looked exactly like them only next-gen.

seeing more stuff Thursday so will have more opinions.

Q : After seeing some really bad parts of conferences, what do you think is the most important part of making a successful press conference? Besides games of course.

A : Look, most of these guys are not public speakers. They are coders or designers or corp execs or mid-spectrum reclusives. So this is not generally their thing and they are trying to muddle through and satisfy their bosses and the stockholders and their moms as best they can.

I get on stage and live tv every day for a living. That doesn't mean I'm perfect at it (as the internet tells me every living minute of every fucking day) but I do love the games and I am genuinely excited to be there. So hopefully that comes across.

I think the other thing is just to lean out and focus on the games. We're all there to get stoked about what's coming. That should always be the focus. I won't knock trailers because I get as excited about them as the next person but actual gameplay, live or footage, is always the best (even if it's curated and managed to within an inch of it's zeroes and ones).

Oh, and for the record, I play Xbox 360/One and PS3/4 games. No Wii. No Wii U. No handhelds. I'm sure there's other shit. I don't play them. I used to be a PC gamer but that was a lifetime ago (like Myst/Riven ago).  
 
I am a console gamer almost exclusively, but occasionally indulge in iPad games. Latest are TWD Season 2, Monument Valley, and PvZ which I am currently furious at and so have stopped playing, mainly because PopCap has devoured my retirement fund.
 
My husband plays Minecraft. I don't understand it, but I support him fully. Because that is the kind of spouse that I am.

Q: Since the day of your birth, what game have you spent the most hours playing? And how many hours did you put into it?
 
A : Ugh. Fallout 3. My house in Megaton is literally exploding with caps and Nuka Colas. I'm not proud of it.
 
But I should be.

Q : Is there any game that you really want a sequel of ? No matter how improbable that might be?
 
A : Hm! I wanted a Fallout 3 sequel but I hated New Vegas. So I guess I want a proper, robust, scary, melancholy, difficult, true open world non-repetitive sequel to Fallout 3. I hope Bethesda is making that now.

Minecraft looks like something I coded in my middle school COBOL class.  
 
I can't wait for people to jump all over that. Whee!!!

Q : Could you please tell us some of the differences between the two sides in Rainbow Six: Siege? Like different types of equipment you might load out with?
 
A : OOH!!!! I won't do this well at all, but here goes. Defenders have defensive (!) tools -- barbed wire, metal shields and you can seal doors and windows with special field barricades. You can set prox mines and your arsenal is generally defensive. You can also monitor the breach with interior security cams (which can be shot out by the infiltration team). Weaponry is varied but generally you are equipped with tools that enable you to fortify and defend both the structure and the hostage.
 
Attackers have tiny roving drones which can move into the structure and see what defensive elements have been set up, they're small but definitely detectible and destroyable by the defensive teams. Various breach charges, and of course you can rappel and breach from a variety of angles. Flash bang and some of the weapons you remember from the last R6.  
 
In multiplayer both teams get a bit of time to either fortify or recon before the match starts, which is fun because no one really has the upper hand here. Everyone is watching what everyone else is doing and formulating a strategy (or crying softly to themselves.).
 
Action on multiplayer 5v5 was very fast and fun, contained action with lots of action and breaches from all sides, above and below. Not a lot of cover in that house (walls and doors blow easily and frags come quickly (no like "I'm stunned give me a moment to catch my breath" stuff). I did a lot of watching team members try to clean up the mayhem while I talked shit on headset.  
 
SUPER fun.

do not ask me about Mario Kart or other tiny, cute things with bunnies and jumping and stuff

I don't hate Nintendo. I don't hate anyone. I just only play shooters. It limits the number of games I play and the likelihood that gaming will eat my life and I will wash out of entertainment and end up being a security guard outside the Orange Julius at your local mall. When I have played cute games (Kinect Sports, Portal, PvZ), I have enjoyed myself. It's just my own self-selecting gaming perimeter.
