I said I'd mention the goofy story that happened earlier with the supposed first start time for the Japanese conference, so here you go.

You see, we were all sitting around like dopes at 8:00 PM waiting for the show to start, when we heard it was actually 9. So we all sat around for another hour, refreshing the hell out of various sites, and once time came around we were still having trouble finding reliable information on what was going on. Only one site seemed to be live blogging the event, and that was GWN. A link to a supposed live feed gave us all hope momentarily, until people realized it was canned footage of a Nintendo stockholder meeting from June. So once again, we had to rely on GWN. Their servers strained under the weight of a billion nerds refreshing every 1.2 seconds, and even other blogs like Go Nintendo just started copying and pasting what was on GWN. This went on for near an hour until, as more descriptions came in, it became more and more clear that GWN wasn't actually at the event at all -- despite describing the "palpable" electricity in the air -- they were watching a feed. The kicker: it was the same bloody stockholder meeting everyone else realized was old a half hour prior. They kept updating for a while until someone finally clued them in, after which they deleted the entry.

Naturally, nerds being the schadenfraude loving bunch they are, plenty of people saved a screenshot of the blog as proof of GWN screw up. Note: Not me.

As for when the Japanese conference does start, I've given up on trying to figure it out. The supposed new time of 12:30 has come and gone, and things still aren't happening. At most, we have this image of the conference from Famitsu. Now maybe it's 1:00? 1:30? Screw it. You know the important bits. You'll find out the rest in the morning.
