Hello, I am Gianfranco Di Giovanni and I cover video games for ABC. Today Rachel Stowers and I’m looking forward to watching three hours of commercials, punctuated by the occasional award.

We would love to hear from you today. Don’t forget to leave us a comment along the way. What are you looking forward to?

I’m sure we can predict that Geoff designed the event so he could hang out on stage with his best buddy Hideo Kojima, and I’m here for it.
