Click the pic to watch the trailer. This video is thirty-one flavours of awesome. Go to the bathroom prior to watching.

When I saw this video, I had no words. Seriously, I tried to talk, but no sound came out of my mouth. If it was possible for my brain to cry tears of happiness, it would have. November is going to take forever to get here now.

Matt was gracious enough to continue the interview, in which we also talked about other E3 goodness. If you recall, we were discussing Tiger Woods and the Move…
