I'm too tired and too lazy to elaborate on everything me, Brian, Pat, and Kyle have done so far since coming to LA for E3. I'm going to post a quick summary of all the random and crazy events that have happened so far, so that I can elaborate on them once we get back:
Tuesday
arrived in LA
went to Jack in the Box drive through, then ate in parking lot
pretty sure Brian got mild food poisoning the next day as a result
Wednesday - First day of E3
woke up at 5AM
saw a giant American Yoshinoya
arrived at E3 to get our early media badges
got a nice free breakfast of fruits and bagels
had a ridiculously long chat with the Amp'd Mobile booth girls
walked back and forth for 30 minutes looking for a shuttle
rode said shuttle 45 minutes or so to a somewhat sketch party
spent entire bus ride talking to booth girls onboard
sketch party, then finally got home
Thursday - Day Two
stupid spoiled rich kid complaining about the Police on the train
in the spirit of LA, I used Ari no Jutsu and ignored said douche
Kyle got hit in the nuts by PacMan
Paris Hilton caused a fire hazard
Pat, Brian, and Kyle interviewed some guy named Magnus
met crazy Adam West and he did a promo for IUSTV
saw live G4TechTV broadcast, you might have seen us in the audience
met Michael Bower, AKA DONKEY LIPS from Salute Your Shorts there
found out the Sony party is way awesome and we will never get in
$1 tacos and awesome green salsa at Mexican restaurant
I supposed you want to know more about the actual video games and stuff, huh? I'll make a quick list of SOME of the stuff that is notable or that I played, along with a quick summary. The only major thing I haven't done yet is go into the Nintendo Wii booth, which takes about 2 or 3 hours of line waiting just to get in. I think we're going to brave it tomorrow though (last day), since I don't know if I can actually leave this conference without playing the Wii. On a side note, I talked to a guy yesterday named Scott Rubin who is apparently one of the founders of G4, and he said the Wii controller is awesome and super light.
Gundam on PS3 - looks awesome
Time Crisis on cell phone - better than you would think
most recent Mortal Kombat on PS2 - not good
The New Super Mario Bros on DS - AMAZING
DS Lite - really sweet re-design, buttons might be too small though
Brain Age on DS - addictively fun, especially VS mode
FFXII for PS2 - why did I play this, I have the Japanese version
Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer - I love Hideo Kojima
Guitar Hero 2 - looks like you can play bass line now
DDR - hate
Marvel Ultimate Alliance - like Legends, with almost everyone from the Marvel universe - looks sweet
Pokemon Ranger on DS - weird, but fun
Bomberman and Puzzle Fighter on PSP - I need a PSP
That's all for now; I'm going to bed because my eyes are closing on themsevles. 1 more day for E3!
