Here’s a cute video of Virigin Mobile Sarah playing Karaoke Revolution: Glee Volume 3 at Konami’s E3 2011 booth. Watch the beautiful Sarah sing and dance her way to your heart. I know I did. Ha!

Let’s be real — this can’t possibly be the only web site you visit on a daily basis. Don’t worry, I don’t get (too) jealous when you spend time reading other sites. Having said that, I’d love to hear about some of your favorite Internet writers. Whether it’s games, sports, tech, or whatever, let me know who some of your favorite scribes are.

I’m so bummed that I’m missing Tokyo Game Show. Part of it is that it’s always incredibly fun hanging out with writer, developer, and PR friends in Tokyo. Part of it is that the karaoke is simply the best (I’ve never seen so many Pixies songs available anywhere else in the world). Lastly, part of it is that my tastes lean towards Japanese games and the announcements are usually super exciting for gamers like me.

Superheros, new consoles, and Konami — this episode of Reset has a lot going on!
