<b>TRMK</b> kicks off our 5th year of <b>live</b> coverage of <b>E3 2005</b> on <b>Wednesday, May 18th</b>. This year we are upping the ante with a few new features to our <b>E3</b> reporting arsenal.

In addition to our photos and hands-on impressions, this year we are going to experiment with <b>BitTorrent</b> video downloads during <b>E3</b>. This will allow us to bring our readers a more expanded video coverage from the <b>E3</b> show floor than we could by serving the videos on our own. Included in this year's plans are <b>video interviews</b> with both <a href="/games/mksm">Shaolin Monks</a> producer, <b>Shaun Himmerick</b>, and MK co-creator <b>Ed Boon</b>.

We are asking the <b>TRMK</b> community to step up and help out with the effort of seeding the downloads. Please your torrent clients open after you have downloaded the entire file in order to help others users download the file more quickly. If you are new to BitTorrent, grab <a href="http://azureus.sourceforge.net/">Azureus</a>. Then head on over to our <a href="/torrents">BitTorrent tracker</a> for all the torrents we will be offering throughout the show. If you have a share ratio of 1:1 or greater on our torrents, please post a screenshot of your ratio in our forums, and we will award <b>TRMKarma</b> after the show.

Next up is our <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/trmk_e3_2005/">TRMK Moblog</a>, currently hosted by <a href="http://www.flickr.com">Flickr</a>. A <b>moblog</b>, short for mobile weblog, is a way that allows us to send photos from our own mobile cameraphones directly to the Internet. This year we will be periodically snapping shots documenting our entire <b>E3</b> trip. If you like to see what goes on behind the scenes of our <b>E3</b> coverage, you'll definitely want to check this feature out. Just point your web browsers to our <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/trmk_e3_2005/">moblog</a> and keep an eye out on our <b>Flickr Badge</b> at the upper right corner of the main page.

And finally, we are announcing a new corporate entity from the creators of <b>TRMK</b>, <a href="http://www.realmmedia.com">Realm Media Networks, LLC</a>. With this new company, we are expanding our philosophies on what makes enthusiast-created websites successful to other areas of the gaming industry. We've created a great synergistic relationship here at <b>TRMK</b> between our own original content and our dedicated community and we believe that this same formula can be applied to many other game genres. Throughout <b>E3 2005</b>, <a href="http://www.realmmedia.com">RealmMedia.com</a> will be updating with information and impressions of many different games on the show floor.

We hope you all enjoy our efforts as we will be working very hard to make <b>2005</b> a stellar year of <b>E3</b> coverage. Please drop us a line if you have anything you would like us to focus on specifically in our <a href="/forums/viewforum.php?f=22">E3 2005 forum</a>.
