I hope everyone is having a great July 4th! Hopefully your day is full of excellent barbecue action and lovely fireworks. As for me, I’ll be hanging out by the pool for a bit. When the sun goes down, I’ll get back to my weekend playlist. If you have time, share your 4th of July plans in the comments section.

Hi there guys and gals! I’m testing out a mobile version of the site. You should see it on Android, BlackBerry OS, iOS, etc. Please let me know what you think. If it’s cool with you, I’ll keep it. If not, I won’t. As Captain Planet says, “The power is yours!”

– E3 2010 has been fantastic so far, but totally surprising. I can’t believe that my two favorite games of the show (so far) are Wii titles!!! Kirby’s Epic Yarn and Epic Mickey are just incredible. They’re very different, but I’m digging them for the same reasons — clever gameplay and unique art direction.

– The Activision party was the most impressive, but EA’s Bulletstorm party was the most fun. It’s always nice catching up with Cliffy B and having a “normal” conversation with an old friend.

– I met “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes…but I didn’t bring him any plunder. His son was there too. Cody is a handsome young man. I wonder if he’ll look like his dad in 30 years.

– My mark out moment of the show was when Iga said hello to me at the Konami booth. Wow. The dude that made the best Castlevania games ever said hello to me!!! I must have made an impression on him on the handful of times we went out for karaoke in Tokyo.

– I’m still taking meetings and cranking for Shacknews, but I’ll be checking in when I can. Real content is coming soon!!! For now, let me know which E3 2010 games have got you excited.

It’s E3 week! Can you feel the love tonight?!? (Lion King lines Raymond? Seriously?!?) I’m off to my first E3 party in a few hours, but wanted to give you a heads up on my plans for the week. It’ll be so much fun talking about the show with you guys and dolls.

– I’m going to be sorta kinda live blogging the three major press conferences (Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony). The first one kicks off tomorrow and I’ll be using Cover It Live. Hopefully it will work for most of you.

– The reason I said that I’m “sorta kinda” live blogging the pressers is that I’ll have to take a few chunks of time out of each one to write stories for Shack News. That’s right, Brian Leahy and I will be reunited for one week only! My excellent friend Garnett Lee will be steering the ship for Shack. I’m looking forward to working with these cats. If you have time, please register so you can comment on my Shack News stories (using a variation of “RPadtv” in your username would be nice, free advertising!).

– Since I’ll be busy with stories for Shack throughout the week, I’m not going to be able to post too many stories here. I am going to link to everything I write for Shack and will post lots of pictures for discussion. I’ll have my Evo 4G and laptop with me, so I’ll be commenting as much as I can.

– The site’s Alexa ranking is on the verge of cracking the top 100,000. Thanks for all your support!!! I you haven’t downloaded the Alexa toolbar, please do. Every visit helps. Thanks to you, I’m beating or competing with loads of established sites. Considering that the site hasn’t been up for a year and I’m just one guy, the results are incredible. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

RPadholic bsukenyan sent in a batch of photos that combines his RPad.tv chick magnet with his latest hobby — creating custom USB flash drives. This is some pretty cool stuff and I’m pretty sure he could make a killing selling these things. Perhaps I should talk him out of becoming a gaming analyst so that he can concentrate on selling custom crafts on Etsy. Check out the photos!

Today’s RPad.tv chick magnet pictures are from TheJediRevan. It’s a great pair of photos that lets you know what he’s about. On top of the Jedi robe and the lightsaber is…a “me” magnet! These are pretty awesome! Thanks for sending them in!!!

Keep serving up these excellent photos guys and gals. I’m really digging them!

RPadholic smartguy sent in this excellent series of pictures that pits an RPad.tv chick magnet against an army of Louisiana crawfish! It’s an excellent adventure and you’ll have to look at all four pictures to see how the tale unfolds. I’m certain there’s an Xbox Live downloadable game somewhere in here. I love how creative the photos have been getting! Thanks smartguy!!!

Anyone up for some online gaming later today? Wednesday is the usual day for RPad.tv invitational tournaments, but I have to go to an Iron Man 2 screening. Hopefully some of you have time today. I super enjoyed Scrabble last week and hope some of you want to play again. That said, I understand that Uno is more accessible. I would love to have a Super Street Fighter IV tournament, but I don’t know how many of you have picked up the game.

Anyway, let me know if you have time to play today and what game you’d like to play.

Thanks to RPadholic tokz_21 for sending in this excellent photo. Since we talk comics a lot, he thought it would be cool to include several comic books and action figures in his photo. He’s right! It’s totally cool!!!

Guys and gals, keep sending your photos! I’m still waiting for pictures of an RPad.tv magnet on an exotic dancer (female, please).
