Please direct any whining concerning the PotD towards this board:

Well thanks for the info. But I confess that this puzzled me, as the url on the PoTD redirects here. And while I did always wondered why no one on the board discussed the PoTD, I have no idea why the link redirects here when there's a more appropriate forum. GameFAQs has been famous for its over zealous mods and admins. Hasn't anyone considered that it would be better to change the URL?

And I'm sorry if people got annoyed by my thread. I work with statistics for a living and there's such a thing as a poll that encompasses every possible position. Health related studies often have to do this or otherwise the data would be useless.

In this particular case, one simple option that allowed the user to choose "I don't follow E3" would have sufficed. And contrary to what many believe, know what proportion of the users that vote don't follow such an event is quite interesting, since there's a prevailing idea that the E3 is the event that shapes the releases calendar. And while it may be so for most gamers, it would be interesting to understand how many don't actually give much attention to it at all.

Starting with the first press conference today, how many hours of live E3 video do you plan to watch over the next week?

None at all, I won't be watching any of it live, just the highlights later
1-3 hours, just one or two of the big shows
4-6 hours, a few of the press conferences, maybe some floor shows
7-12 hours, most all of the conferences, and lots of other live video
13+ hours, I'll be watching live E3 streams all week

Thanks a lot for having an option for those who don't care at all about E3!

Do people actually think about these polls or just type whatever? Because this is not how a real poll works... If someone can't find an answer that suits them, you are doing it wrong. Yet lately it seems like every poll is like this.

And before someone says, no, not voting is not the same as not caring. Completely different meanings there.

It doesn't matter if it she entered legally or illegally. You don't kill people at first sight for crossing the boarder... This isn't the Middle-ages anymore (at least in the rest of the civilized world)...
