Were you disappointed? Keep checking back for more indepth looks at all of today’s announcements! Expect more posts throughout today with more detailed information of each announcement, videos and so forth.

Doug bashes his fists against the keyboard and eventually a piece of video is made, sometimes it is even funny. Some of his gaming accomplishments are: completing a living Pokedex on the Pokebank, 1000 pointing BCFX: Black College Football: The X-perience: the Doug Williams Edition, and only crying five times during the Kingdom Hearts series.
