Hey all, just thought that I'd let you all know what I thought of this years E3 as well as give you access to some pics (and video if someone wants to host it) that you might not get elsewhere. Literally, I have pics of a monitor with signs around it saying "Do not take pictures or video" as well as video from a movie about XBox 360 where pictures were allowed, but movies were not. Basically I lied my ass off when I was questioned about it.
Basically, I equate E3 to a giant Casino with a bunch of mini-casinos inside it. It is larger than life, window free in the main halls, no clocks, and everyone is vying for your attention. The difference is free stuff, there is a LOT of free stuff to be had at E3 (I hear that its referred to as "swag"). Whatever. I've picked up about 5 shirts, a poster and a hat that are exclusive to E3 signed by Falcoon (lead artist for SNK), a cloth bag from Infinity Games, a Nintendo Power pin from Nintendo, a Mario Kart DS Stylus, a hardback book with funny pictures from last years E3, countless magazines that you would normally need to pay for, my friends got the guys from Penny-Arcade to sign stuff but I didn't feel like staying in line for that. I saw Gary Coleman (no evidence), Morgan Webb (of G4TechTV I got 2 shots of her back/ass as she was being escorted quite quickly to the Sony booth, and met Gallagher and he posed for a pic for me. Countless booth babes, countless people dressed up as stuff and there were about 5,000+ monitors and televisions, all HD of course.

Again, if anyone wants to host the video, or high def pictures, just reply here and we'll figure something out. I have a half gig from day 1 and 157mb from Day 2 (I haven't gotten rid of the blurry ones or edited the video at all, some of which is downright ugly).

P.s. any questions, please post them here, also due to the fact I'm staying with someone from CalTech who has an incredible amount of work he has to do, we're not sure if we're going back for the 3rd and final day, but if we are and anyone really likes a game and wants more pics/vid/impressions of it, let me know.
