If they want to match Reggie "my body is ready" Fils-Amie, they would pretty much have to do that. Or, like, have him show up with a red mohawk, at least.

Unfortunately, once the Randy train starts a rollin', it cannot be stopped... because he owns the whole company.

Remember that time Randy created a R34 subreddit for Battleborn.

[up][up][up][up]: According to the Giant Bomb page John's held several positions at Midway and was part of the start-up Vogster Entertainment along with his other roles at Disney and Gearbox. Guy looks all right.

If my memory serves right, his time with Disney Interactive particularly stands out for him and the rest of the staff being extremely transparent about developmental going-ons and what all they had in the pipework. He also interacted with the community regularly from what I've heard other people say.

Seems like a good fit for Nintendo's PR department and he's probably gonna be more at home there than he was at Gearbox, especially if his tweet about taking a "dream job" is anything to go by.

[up]

You can google on that subreddit thing, I'm not linking the story due to potential NSFW.

The gist is that Randy tweeted he found a Battleborn porn subreddit and provided a link to it. According to rumors said sub was made minutes after Randy made the tweet, it's probably a very ill-conceived marketing stunt.

Gamestop has just added 21 Switch placeholders, likely includes bundles and budget titles.

[up][up]We do have a general E3 thread, but the biggest names going to this year's E3 (other than Nintendo) are Ubisoft, Bethesda, Square Enix (all of whom will have a conference and a booth), Microsoft (conference, but not a booth and will be instead at the Microsoft theater nearby), EA (no conference or booth, but EA Play will be offsite nearby), Bandai Namco, THQ Nordic, Warner Brothers, Capcom, Epic, and 2K (booths only).

[up][up][up]Thing is, while the conferences start on Saturday and E3 actually starts the Tuesday after next, next week will have a large number of developers getting out info prior to E3. For Nintendo specifically, there's the Pokemon Direct on Wednesday, and there will likely be an announcement at one of the Mario Maker, Smash, and Splatoon events on Saturday.

The one I've seen floated around is that the Mario Maker event will end with a new game style.

[up] That makes sense to me. I'm highly certain that the second Extra Game Style is being saved for an E3 reveal.

Getting BOTW vibes.

Also that one episode with the island of the Giant Pokemon was a secret prediction.

Sheep Pokemon! Wooloo. I hope it gets healing moves so there can be Age of Empires memes.

Take with grain of salt, but Nintendo's E3 2019 Direct is expected to be 45 minutes long.
