Fine, so these aren't really awards, but they help capture the spirit of our week in Los Angeles. E3 is a family reunion, only with folks you met online. The resulting explosion of wackiness, humor, adventure and antagonism just doesn't occur naturally.

"Five-hundred dollars?!" – Jeff "Deguello" Shirley (repeatedly)

"Wii from Nintendo means just what it sounds like." – Reggie Fils-Aime

"In Oregon..." – Evan "Svevan" Burchfield, when discussing just about anything

"It's not that I don't like you, I just like me better." – Steven "WindyMan" Rodriguez

"You're becoming more like your father!" – TYP, in his very best Peppy voice

"DAMN!" – Karl's buddy John Ehring, after seeing Super Smash Bros. Brawl

"I've seen pictures." – Chris Kohler, on what people do with their soft Kasumi pillows

"I need a Jerry Garcia expert to the Information Desk, please." – Amoeba Records clerk

"Earthbound would be okay if not for the battle system. It's like the game punches you in the face every couple of minutes." – Mike "StrikerObi" Sklens

*Bloodworth turns the radio up, overwhelming another of Obi's asinine arguments*

Evan: "I see they're releasing Mario Hoops on September 11th....in memoriam."

Jonny: "Too soon!"
