I pulled some strings today downtown, and guess who else is going to E3?!

Also just to be clear it was I who got BlackNMild in E3 this year. As a matter of fact he's in my living room right now!

1/3 of these sentences is false...

I waited hours and hours for my E3 pass, my buddies and I registered through Sony in person together and yet all my info in the system was lost. At least all my buddies got in smoothly. My boisterous ways were punished! Why oh why oh why?!?!

So as sit alone on the outskirts of the show floor, I am reminded of my harsh, reality revealing wushu training. "The truth hurts, but not as much as getting hit on the head with a coconut."

Still it is nice to be among the lesser festivities on the outside watching beautiful women pose nervously with fellow nerds. And at the very least when BlackNMild and I get back my home I can live E3 through his hilarious tales of the show floor.

I've been bamboozled and flim flammed by the system! Oh well, when in Rhome!

Edit: after 3 hours I got in! Sony worked it out! Yahoo!

In my experience of (seeing other people) sneaking in:
- you will only be escorted out if you get caught. You can try again.
- security fluctuates year by year, and even by different entrances. Some security people might just kind of eyeball badges, others will go over them one by one with a blacklight.
- you can make something that looks like a badge and possibly get in if nobody looks at it too closely.
- use your blending and camoflage techniques that you have learned from video games and lizards.

Of course, it's possible to get in just by knowing the right people and getting a badge from some ghetto ass company like Hong Kong Software Warehouse Leasing Inc or PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF KOREA MINISTRY OF VIDEOGAMES.

What is their policy towards the game Homefront?

Yeah I could never sneak in, but I just waited and waited until a friend of mine talked to the Sony rep in charge and found my info. I was one of 12 who just got their info lost at the will call line. People were raging and just left, my patience paid off. I only had 1 hour to enjoy the show floor though. Today will be different.

Getting into E3 is easy; getting out is the hard part.

LSo, E3 is over, and getting in really wasnt hard at all. The hard part is getting to see it all.

I managed to se everything Capcom had to offer, and that included a pole dancer in the DMC room. I also met Reggie twice, once in the Nintendo booth and one again outside on the way to his car.
I also got him to talk to him very briefly about the need of analog triggers on the uMote.

Unfortunately there were no surprises, bbut weut I did get to talk to lotes of beautiful women (no pics though) and with a little luck, we may be meeting up with a few of them later "fingers crossed".

I also got to meet the NWR crew (most of them seemed quite shy.... our maybe just a little sleepy),  but we didn't get to met up again afterwards.... Not from a lack of effort on my part though.

Maybe I'll get to go again next year, but thats a whole year away. I still have to finish taking in everything from this E3.

My phone is jacked up and really started messing up on me as soon as I left for E3. Battery drain like crazy if I do anything on it.... I'm sure plenty of pics will surface though.

It was nice meeting you, BnM. You weren't quite what I expected, but I'm sure I wasn't for you either. I'm glad you managed to get into the Nintendo conference.

There might be a pic of us at the Nintendo Conference.
But the NWR crew dissapeared after that and I never saw them again... If I didnt know they were working, I would have thought they were avoiding me.

But there is a pic of me and Caterkiller playing NSMB2 with 2 Nintendo gals. Maybe Caterkiller will post it.

I was really hoping to see you guys at E3 again. Once at the brief moment before the Nintendo conference and then after that nothing. Next time i'm making sure I see you all, don't care what you were doing. Wish thatguy was around, he was always up for hanging out and talking. But had a good time with BlackNMild, he was my partner throughout.

When I shook Reggie's hand he winked at me! Now I understand how women feel when they swoon all over their favorite celebrities. Minus the swooning part, I think...

out of curiosity, what did you expect.
But it was nice meeting you and everyone else, which is why I was hoping to meet up again and have a beer or some food or something.

Sure you are.  That may just be "Internet" BnM w/ his niece.  :p  I know you paid him off to keep your Internet Street Cred now that Neg G the Man From the Mean Streets of the Internet is here to challenge.

Honestly, I'm not really sure what I expected. It's like with Crimm, though; he looks like he's 11 years old, and I wasn't expecting that, even though I don't really know what I was expecting.

Really though, my favorite BnM moment from E3 is when he joined the live stream chat, realized we were streaming us playing Cards Against Humanity, and then immediately left.
