E3 Postmortem
So, now that E3 is once again over and thinks are returning to normal (did you notice a difference this time?), what feelings are people left with regarding this year's showcase?
Not everyone is exactly overjoyed at the new E3 format and Arstechnica don't exactly beat around the bush about it.
Although, some people do seem to have come away with positive experiences, GameArena certainly made the most of the opportunities given them.
How will this new-style E3 fare in years to come? The diminished crowds certainly allows everyone to keep their eyes on the business at hand. But... and this is definitely a question that needs to be asked... what are they going to do with the Boothbabes now?

BongoBoy's Blog: Deployables
Ever wonder about those tricky deployables? Just how do they work? When is the best time to call them in? Where is the best place? And (perhaps most importantly) just how much damage can they do to that imposing opponent who just won't go away?
Well, wonder no more! Bongoboy took time out from his own busy schedule to give us all the low-down and a few handy tips and tricks.
Check out BongoBoy's latest dev diary on the official community site.

Badman's Blog - PB and client update info
Badman's latest blog went online at the Official Community last night:
"We rolled out the Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars Public Beta Client Update a few days ago and the gameplay feedback has so far been very positive. The response to the prediction improvements in particular has been really good and the server browser fixes are something that I’m sure a fair few of you appreciate. Our in-game updating tool also worked without a hitch and all our testers were able to download the client update from within the game."
Especially useful information for anyone still dealing with those PunkBuster update problems!
