Microsoft Details Their Pre-E3 Media Briefing
Microsoft has detailed their plans for the now expected pre-E3 media briefing, and it looks like they’re going to try their best to follow through on that whole “video games first” plan they mentioned last month. They’re calling the event Game On, and it sounds like the glorious return to form that gamers have been looking for after a couple years of mixed messages and uncertainty surrounding the Xbox One as a platform for video games.
According to Microsoft, Game On will offer in-depth looks at games that have already been announced, as well as introduce brand new IPs coming in 2014 “and beyond.”
Phil Spencer, the newly appointed head of Xbox, said last month that the event was already “overstuffed” with video game news and announcements, and that some of the news will come sometime later this month.
Game On goes live on June 9 at 9:00 a.m. PDT — you can stream it on Xbox.com, Xbox Live, Spike TV, and Windows Phone.
E3 2014 kicks off on June 10 and ends on June 12.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
